Chapter 714


    Pearl paid no attention to Ss and returned to her seat at the office desk to continue working. Today''s workload was heavier


    than usual, and she toiled until eleven o''clock at night.


    Meanwhile, Ss sat on a couch nearby, amusing himself with his phone while he waited until eleven o''clock.


    At a quarter past eleven, Pearl stretched and stood up. She had finallypleted her tasks for the day.


    “Have you finished your work?" Ss asked, setting aside his phone as he saw her rise.


    Pearl was shocked when she heard him. She blinked her tired eyes, ncing into the dimly lit room. To her surprise, Ss was


    still there.


    "Yes, I''m done. I''m heading home now. You should head home too," she replied, waving off any intention of epting a ride from


    him.


    "I''ve been waiting here for you for quite a while. Did |e here just to watch you work?" Ss grinned at Pearl, picking up her


    bag and nonchntly shutting down herputer without asking for her consent. "Alright, it''s settled. I''m giving you a ride


    home."


    Pearl couldn''t snatch her bag back due to his height, so she let out a resigned sigh. "Fine, you can give me a ride home. Just


    give me my bag back.”


    Ss wagged his finger teasingly. "No way, what if you try to escape once | return it to you?"


    Pearl wondered if he took her as such a person. With an eye roll, she said sarcastically, "Then, take it if you want."


    She walked away briskly, leaving Ss to follow her with a cheerful face since he had gotten what he wanted.


    Pearl waited by the roadside, and Ss joined her. She snorted, finding him to be just a child. He imed to be pursuing her, yet


    hecked basic sensibility. "Hurry up and get the car. Why are you standing around?"


    Ss nodded and pointed at a scooter nearby. "It''s right here. Let me give you a ride home."


    Ascooter? Pearl was puzzled. How did the heir of the Quinton family end up using a scooter for transportation to work?


    She asked, "Are you short on money?"C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Can''t rich people ride a scooter?"


    It was a reasonable question, and there seemed to be no problem with it. Pearl pursed her lips and reluctantly climbed onto the


    scooter.


    Thete summer air was warm, with a hint of heat. Her palms began to sweat, but she grabbed the hem of Ss''s clothing to


    maintain her bnce.


    “Are you nervous? Your sweaty palms are making my clothes wet," Ss remarked with a teasing smile, raising his voice, which


    sent shivers down her spine.


    “No, I''m not," Pearl replied with defiance, releasing her grip. However, she nearly tumbled when he navigated over a rough patch


    of road.


    “Hold onto my waist." Ss noticed her unsteadiness and immediately seized her arms, wrapping them around his waist.

    Ss exuded a scent of cigarettes and alcohol, different from others she had encountered. It might be how the real world smelled


    like.
