Chapter 735


    Then Pearl hung up, and the call ended.


    Ss''s energy was drained, but the thought of seeing Pearl that night excited him, and he focused


    on his work.


    *


    Work ended at six in the evening. Pearl asked Ss to drive Celine to the restaurant first, as she


    had some othermitments to attend to.


    Celine believed it was a date and dressed up elegantly. She put on makeup and a jasmine-scented


    perfume to enhance her appearance, aiming to look like a fairy.


    "I''m ready, Ss. Let''s go." She stood in front of Ss, ying with her hair coquettishly.


    However, Ss was unimpressed by her outfit. Instead, he frowned and took a step back.


    "What''s wrong?" Celine anxiously walked forward, seeing his expression.


    "Don''te near me." Ss couldn''t hold back and sneezed loudly. "I''m allergic to perfumes."


    Celine''s face turned red. "Should I… wash it off?" There was no time for a shower, and she hadn''t


    known about his perfume allergy.


    Ultimately, they took separate cars to the restaurant instead of going together.


    When they arrived at the restaurant, they entered the private room that Pearl had reserved and


    waited in silence.


    Celine noticed that Ss wasn''t ordering any food and grew curious. "Why aren''t you ordering


    food?"


    "It''s not time yet," Ss replied, checking his watch. It was already five minutes past the agreed


    time, and he wondered why Pearl hadn''t arrived yet.


    "Oh…" Celine said, not understanding the dining habits of wealthy people. She simply sat up


    straight and waited.


    After ten minutes, Pearl finally arrived. As she opened the door, Celine''s expression dropped. "Why


    are you here, Miss Pearl?"

    Pearl sat down and paused. "Am I not supposed to be here?" After all, she was the one treating


    them to dinner, so it made sense for her to be present.


    Celine''s mind raced but couldn''t quite figure out the situation. "I suppose you can join us if you


    want," she said, forcing herself to sound generous.


    Pearl found the situation odd, particrly Celine''s apparent irritation, which created an awkward


    atmosphere.


    Ss, on the other hand, paid no mind to Celine''s difort and leaned closer to Pearl with a


    smile. "Why do you smell so good today?"


    The remark had a flirtatious tone, and Pearl pped his head. "Don''t be ridiculous."


    Ss wasn''t concerned about Celine, as he was naturally daring. However, Celine felt differently.


    She was so angry that she would have stomped her feet if they were alone.


    Ss had invited her to dinner, so why was Pearl also invited? Wasn''t he allergic to perfumes? Why


    was he so fascinated by Pearl''s scent?


    "Alright, Celine, dinner is on me today, so order whatever you like. Consider it a celebration for your


    first viral video coboration," Pearl said, smiling as she handed Celine the menu.


    Celine was taken aback. It was a celebration?


    She nced at Ss, who smirked mischievously as he said, "Did you think I was asking you out on


    a date?"
