Chapter 258
“Of course, it’s nothing. But what if a reporter saw that? If I’m not mistaken, Esther is a naive and pure star. If others learn that their star has a crush on someone and even ldssed that person, I’m sure her career would be ruined by half,” Raymond remarked.
A thought occurred to Raymond at that moment. “Moreover, Esther invited her close friends and a lot of famous people too. There are so many people here. It’s very easy to create rumors and gossip.”
“But weren’t we the only ones who saw that? No one would know about it as long as you keep quiet,” Pearl responded with annoyance, her tone harsh. “Don’t tell me you want to take advantage of the situation. I’m sure you’re not that bored.”
Raising his brows, Raymond asked, “Do you think I’m a person like that?”
“Of course not. I just hope that you’ll think properly.”
With a chuckle, Raymond teased, “You’re always so smart, but you couldn’t even guess the meaning of my words just now.”
Pearl frowned. “What do you mean?”
Raymond shook his head and leaned in, whispering in her ear. “Someone else was watching the scene just now.”
Suddenly enlightened, Pearl understood that he was trying to warn her.
“If I saw it correctly, that person was holding a camera. I’m sure a lot of photos had been taken,” Raymond added. “If I make the right guess, Esther will make the news tomorrow.”
Pearl’s expression darkened. “Did you see that person’s face?”
Raymond hesitated before smiling mysteriously. “But it isn’t something I should tell you. If you want to know, you’ll need to exchange it for something else.”
Furrowing her brows, Pearl asked, “What do you want?”
“Come to my company and work as the vice president.”
Without hesitation, Pearl firmly declined, “That’s impossible! I’ll never work at your company.”
“Well, I can’t tell you who it is then.” Raymond spread his hands helplessly. Swaying his wine glass, he was about to leave.” Please seek others’ help since we can’t strike a deal.”
Pearl made no effort to stop him from leaving, as agreeing to his terms under duress would only lead to future threats. She felt that it would be okay as long as they took proper public relations measures tomorrow.
Sighing, she intended to return to Richard, but someone suddenly blocked her path. Burdened with her own thoughts, Pearl didn’t feel like engaging in a lengthy conversation. She politely requested that the person step aside, but they seemed
reluctant to do so.
When she looked up, she saw Sophia, the former design director of the company who had been dismissed just two days ago. Although Sophia was fired, she seemed to be doing pretty well. Even without her director’s position, she was still the young lady of the Amault family, leading a comfortable life.
“It’s been a while, Pearl,” Sophia greeted calmly.
Unperturbed, Pearl forced a smile. “Please get out of the way, Miss Sophia. You’re in my way.” She had no desire to interact with Sophia
Hearing that, Sophia’s face contorted with anger. “What? Listen, Pearl. You’re going to regret how you treated me today!”
With that, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself.
