Chapter 370
“Alright, I’ll manage her!” Clem suddenly felt a surge of determination, realizing that going the extra mile for the company was every employee’s responsibility, and he shouldn’t reject this opportunity.
He turned his attention to Esther, assessing her clean image and youthful appearance, which seemed perfect for a high school
-themed series.
“I recently came across a show that requires both male and female leads. I highly recommend that Brilliance acquire the copyright for this series. Trust me, it’s going to be a hit!” Clem was confident in his taste.
Pearl shared his enthusiasm and nodded in agreement. “I agree. Just head to the finance department and request the necessary funding for your ideas. There’s no need to consult with me beforehand.”
Clem felt touched by the trust Pearl had in him, as this was the first time someone trusted him so much. He couldn’t wait to showcase his ideas and talents.
Pearl then turned to Esther and proposed, “Your current residence isn’t safe anymore. Would you like to stay here instead? We have a suite on the third floor. Ask Clem to book any one you prefer, and it will also make commuting to work easier for you.”
Addressing Clem, she added, “Regarding the agreement, please print it out, Clem. The stamp is in the safe in my office, and the password is six eights.”
With that, Pearl left her office, leaving Clem and Esther behind. The casual sharing of her office safe password raised some eyebrows.
Pearl didn’t return to the office that afternoon. When she found Richard at home during working hours, she was surprised and puzzled.
“Where did you go?” Richard’s voice sounded cold.
Pearl could sense that he was relieved to see her but was maintaining his aloof attitude. “Why are you talking to me now?”
He turned away nonchalantly. “I just came home to get some documents.”
Pearl noticed that he wasn’t holding any documents, sensing he was lying. “I don’t know what’s going on, Richard, but remember, if you still have feelings for me, you can talk to me. We’ll work through it together.”
She expressed her sincerity, but it seemed like he didn’t hear her. He walked away and didn’t return home that night. During dinner, Mobius prodded the ribs on his plate and asked, “Why don’t I see Mom at home anymore? Where is she?”
Dustan smiled. “Your mom has gone on a trip with her friend. You won’t be seeing her for a while.”
“I called her the other day, but she didn’t pick up. Why wouldn’t she answer if she’s on a trip?” Mobius expressed his doubt, furrowing his brows.
Dustan rolled his eyes. “Your mom rarely goes on trips. Just let her enjoy her vacation and stop bothering her.”
Mobius thought about it and found them reasonable. Susan had rarely taken trips and had always been busy taking care of their family
“You’re right. Once Rick marries Pearl, Mom will probably be taking care of her grandchild at home.” Mobius made a lighthearted comment, but everyone fell silent.
Pearl bit her l*p and stayed quiet, while Hanzel appeared concerned for her.
As for Dustan, he attempted to lighten the mood with a chuckle. “Yes, your mom would need to take care of her grandchildren after this.”
