Chapter 455
The director finally realized that Eric, a wealthy heir, had a soft spot for Pearl, not Jenny. Jenny had only used her influential connections to intimidate them.
“You could have just given me a call for such a trivial matter. Why did you come here in person…” Being a sensible person, the director immediately agreed to Eric’s request to gain favor. “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll let Miss Pearl use the set for as long as she wants!”
Pearl chuckled. “Would you believe it if he had called you?”
The director felt a bit awkward, realizing that Pearl’s point made sense. However, he was too timid to argue with her, given that she had brought such an important person with her. He simply nodded and said, “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”
“Alright, we’ll come and use your set tomorrow. You can carry on with your work for today.”
Pearl’s reminder prompted the director to realize that they needed to clean up the set promptly for her use tomorrow. He humbly bid them farewell, not wanting to offend them.
As they left the set, Pearl suddenly stopped and turned to Eric. “Eric, when are you planning to return?

“No hurry. I intend to have some fun while I’m here.” Eric turned to Pearl with a warm smile and extended an invitation. “By the way, are you free? Could you be my personal tour guide?”
A chill ran down Pearl’s spine as she heard his invitation. As expected, the moment she turned around, she saw Richard, his expression cold.

“I was wondering why you left suddenly. So, you went to see another man without informing me?” Richard’s tone was calm and measured, as if he were judging a person on death row.
Nervously, Pearl clung to Richard and explained, “Richard, let me explain. It’s not what you think…”
“Oh? Did I misunderstand? Are you planning to tell me later because you’re afraid I might get angry? So, you decided to go ahead and do it first?” Gradually, Richard’s face became somber.
Pearl chuckled and nodded helplessly. “Well, yeah.”
“Do you know that you’re in the wrong?”
Pearl nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I know I was wrong.”
“So, how do you plan to make it up to me?” Richard moved closer to her, his expression unfathomable.
“I…I’m going to…” Pearl, who was usually articulate, found herself stammering and hesitating. She couldn’t come up with an answer.
“How about this? Let him watch nearby when we go to Luisford to shoot the k*ssing scene tomorrow.” Richard emphasized the k*ssing scene and didn’t allow her to refuse.
Helplessly, Pearl couldn’t resist due to Richard’s stern demeanor.
Hearing that, Eric was heartbroken. “Oh, my gosh. I’ll go crazy if I watch you guys k*ss.’
Richard cast an icy glance at him. “Yes, I want you to watch, so you’ll stop coveting my girlfriend.”
“No, I mean I’ll be really jealous of Pearl if I watch you guys k*ss.” Eric gazed at Richard with a different kind of emotion in his eyes.
Pearl was left dumbfounded, and Richard had no words.
“What do you mean, Eric?” A sudden sense of unease washed over Pearl.
