Chapter 252
Pearl finally understood this irate man was jealous and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you acting like a kid, Richard?”
He had always been the mature one and would at most show a bit of ruthlessness, but never would she imagine he had a
childish side.
“Come home with me.” Richard saw her smiling coyly and was even more frustrated, so she just took Pearl away.
The acting president, meanwhile, was fixated on the term ‘girlfriend.’ The Ice Queen Pearl had a boyfriend, and he happened to be the president of Waldorf Enterprises? Had he just received exclusive information?
Fabian strolled around the company with great joy, and the news soon spread like wildfire.
As for Pearl, she found herself dragged away, and the atmosphere in the car quickly turned icy.
“What’s your relationship with that man?” Richard gripped the steering wheel tightly, his tone stern.
Pearl was about to say that he was her subordinate but realized that wasn’t accurate, so she stopped herself. “There’s nothing going on between us. He’s just a friend I met overseas, but as it turns out, he was the president there. What a coincidence.”
Pearl kept calm and kept her secret under wraps. There was no way Richard could discover the truth, so she boldly lied.
“You seem to have a lot of friends from different age groups, huh?” His tone had a creepy undertone that sent shivers down her spine.
Pearl chuckled dryly. “Not really. I’m just good with people. There’s no reason to push people away.”
“Well, I definitely need to learn how to make friends from you.” Richard was annoyed by the fact that all her friends were men. She claimed to be a love repellent, yet all the people who approached her were men.
“You don’t need to. With that personality of yours, no one would dare to be your friend.” Although Pearl was joking, it was the truth. Richard’s aloof personality made it hard for anyone to endure.
“So what are you saying?”
Pearl pretended she didn’t understand. “What do you mean?”
Seeing her feign ignorance, Richard pressed a button next to the wheel, causing her seat to recline abruptly, pulling Pearl along with it.
The sudden motion caught her off guard, and a moment later, Richard was on top of her.
“Richard, what are you…” The tension was palpable as his breath brushed against her ear.
Richard firmly held her hands, preventing her from moving, and then leaned in closer to her ear, his voice a whisper. “Tell me what you meant.”
Pearl’s face turned as red as a tomato, and she avoided eye contact. “You’re such an outstanding and smart man. No one would dare be your friend. I was thinking-”
Before she could finish, her l*ps were sealed.
Contrary to his expectations, she didn’t resist, and so Richard bit her l*ps harshly.
“Richard… Mm…”
He was like a possessive beast. After biting her l*p one final time, he finally released her.
“You said…” Richard’s voice was hoarse after the intense k*ss. “You want to be my friend?”
Pearl gulped and knew this wasn’t the time to be sarcastic, so she said, “No.”
Richard wasn’t happy with the answer, so he ran his thumb across her l*ps to wipe the moisture away.
“Stay away from other men then. I don’t like that.”

Pearl couldn’t agree to that. “But it’s for work. We’re not really friends.”
