Chapter 478
Pearl didn’t care about the money, but she was worried about Feather’s safety, given that she was a beautiful girl who might face harassment.
Feather glanced away from Pearl toward Richard, who wore a cold expression. She hesitated before saying, “But…”
“It’s fine, you can ignore him. He doesn’t live with me,” Pearl assured her.
Richard interjected, “But-”
Pearl shot him a stern glare, silencing him, and then addressed Feather, “We can stay in my villa, and if that works for you, we can stay there temporarily.”
“The one that’s next to Raymond York’s?” Richard remembered the times when Raymond York had flirted with Pearl in the past, which fueled his anger. “I’ll give you another villa near Waldorf Enterprises.”
Pearl was taken aback by his suggestion, but what he didn’t say was she wasn’t going to get away from him. “Are you going to let me continue to work at Waldorf Enterprises?”
Without hesitation, Richard nodded matter-of-factly. “You’ve been serving as the vice president for a while now. Why wouldn’t you continue?”
“What about Sean?”
“Sean will return to work as well. There’s nothing wrong with having two vice presidents in a company. Are you worried that he’ll take your place? It’s alright. He told me to let you handle all the work while he enjoys the title. You’ll still end up with all the work.”
Pearl frowned. “Are you treating me as an employee?”
“Then marry me, and eventually, Waldorf Enterprises will be yours. Don’t you want to put in the effort for your own company?” Richard suggested, ready to have the share transfer agreement prepared if Pearl agreed to marry him.
“Are you saying that Waldorf Enterprises will merge with Cerubleu?” Pearl asked.
Richard didn’t seem to mind that possibility. “It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy.”
“Alright, you can’t take it back,” Pearl responded.
Seeing her cheeky demeanor, Richard nodded. “Of course.”
“Love you,” Pearl hugged him and k*ssed him.
Feather, who had been listening to their conversation, turned pink and felt a little awkward.
Pearl suddenly realized Feather was still in the room and blushed. She cleared her throat and said, “I’ll hand over the keys to the villa and a credit card to you. Take care of what you need and pick up some items.”
She then extended her hand and requested, “Give me your room key and send me your location.”
Feather responded, “I know where the villa near Waldorf Enterprises is located. You can just give me the keys. I won’t need the card because I still have the money Wayne gave me.”
Amused, Richard remarked, “You even managed to find out about my property.”
Feather simply replied, “For work purposes,” concealing the fact that Wayne had been concerned that Richard might deceive Pearl and had gathered information about him.
Pretending to be upset, Pearl added, “What Wayne gives you has nothing to do with me. How much did he give you?”
Feather answered honestly, “410 thousand dollars.”
Pearl rolled her eyes playfully and handed her a platinum card. “What can you do with that money? There’s four million and a hundred thousand dollars on this card. I’ll top it up when you run low. Don’t worry.”
Feather froze. Only presidents could have that much money.
“I’ll head out now, Pea,” Feather said as she accepted the keys and platinum card before departing.
Shortly after leaving, she ran into Hanzel, who was visiting.
