Chapter 741


    "Get the PR team on this immediately. We can''t afford any dys on this matter." Pearl was about


    to call Wayne when her phone was suddenly snatched away. "Why did you take my phone?"


    "Why do we need PR?" Ss was eager to make it public.


    Pearl sighed in exasperation. "You''re currently in a PR stunt with Celine. Obviously, we can''t have


    rumors about you being intimate with other women."


    Ss was notorious for his stubbornness, making it futile to argue with him. If this scandal were


    confirmed, it would not only damage his poprity but also harm Celine''s reputation, causing


    significant losses to thepany.

    The ripple effect that would follow was unpredictable, making it essential to handle the situation


    delicately.


    Ss, seemingly unfazed, flirted with Pearl, proposing an unconventional idea. "Then let''s not stir


    things up with her. Find someone else. I think you''re not bad, sis. How about pairing up a young


    heartthrob influencer with a domineering female president? I heard age-gap rtionships are quite


    popr these days."


    Pearl''s expression turned grim. Through gritted teeth, she retorted, "Nobody wants to have an age-


    gap romance with you!"


    She decided not to engage in further arguments and snatched her phone back. As she was about to


    make the call, she suddenly had an idea, her eyes filled with excitement.


    Ss looked intrigued. "What''s wrong? Having second thoughts?"


    "You know what? Since it''s all just a PR stunt, why can''t this woman be Celine?"


    The prospect of this scandal involving both of them seemed appealing to Pearl, but Ss was not on


    the same page. His hopeful expression quickly faded. "I disagree."


    Pearl casually shrugged. "Your disagreement won''t change anything. I''m the boss."


    Ss, however, made a weak attempt at negotiation. "Well then, how about you handle the PR and


    say the person in the photo is my sister?"


    Pearl rolled her eyes. "The Quinton family''s lineage only passes through males. Where did you get


    a sister from?"


    "You''ve got my family all figured out, and you''re still saying you don''t like me."


    "I just did some basic investigations about you." Hisck of basic knowledge about his own family


    left Pearl unimpressed.


    "Why investigate me and not others? I''m sure you like me."


    Ss''s argument was quite a stretch, leading Pearl to scold him further. "If you keep spouting


    nonsense like this, I''ll fire you immediately."


    Frustrated, Ss red at her. "You''re just settling a personal score."


    Pearl smiled slyly. "So if you want to stay in thepany, you better behave and listen to me."


    Ss, who had been trying to control his temper, slouched and finally admitted defeat. "I get it. You


    can handle things however you want."


    Pearl was feeling quite pleased with herself when Ss unexpectedly reached out and gently


    cupped her face, speaking earnestly, "You have to remember that I''m so patient with you only


    because I like you, not because I''m afraid of you."


    "Don''t try to act like a domineering president at your age," Pearl retorted, pping his hand away


    with a loud smack.


    "That hurts. Are you trying to kill your future husband?" Changing the topic abruptly, Ss made an


    unexpected request. "But if you really want to put it out there that the girl was Celine, you have to


    grant me a wish."


    This request made Pearl slightly ufortable, but she nodded. "As long as you don''t go


    overboard."


    "I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend and apany me to a family dinner."


    Pearl''s eyes widened in surprise. Pretend to be his girlfriend?!
