Chapter 634
It was the first time she had seen his expression turn so cold. A sudden wave of nervousness washed over her, and her knees felt weak.
However, after thinking about it, it didn’t sit right with her. They were no longer together, so where she was and what she was doing were none of his business.
Summoning her resolve, she stood up and looked back at him with no remorse.
“Miss, you’re so lucky. Our president is interested in you. You should come with me. Nathaniel tried to convince her, eager not to delay things.
Pearl frowned and regarded him with disdain. “Tell him I don’t know him so I won’t be joining you.”
“Miss, why does it matter whether you know him when you’re working here? Do you know this man here?” Nathaniel questioned logically.
His reasoning made sense, and although Pearl remained annoyed, she couldn’t afford to show it. After a brief internal struggle, she walked over.
The man who had been with her could only leave angrily upon seeing the turn of events.
Pearl’s temper flared as she approached Richard and realized he was ignoring her. “Why did you summon me over here, sir?” she inquired, though her tone lacked politeness.
Richard remained silent, his gaze fixed on Nathaniel.
“Very well, I’ll be on my way.” Nathaniel understood the situation and left with a creepy smile.
His assistant, on the other hand, couldn’t contain his shock. He stared at the familiar–looking woman before him, his jaw dropping. Wasn’t this the president’s ex–fiancee? What on earth was she doing here?
“Go amuse yourself. I’ll speak to her here,” Richard instructed, and his assistant promptly complied.
“I never imagined you’d come to a place like this after leaving our country,” Richard remarked, once they were alone. His smile, however, held a hint of mockery and disdain.
Pearl casually took a seat, poured herself a glass of wine, swirled it around, and took a sip. “I don’t believe my actions are of any concern to you. Perhaps you should focus more on your side piece so she doesn’t run off with another man.”
Richard’s hand froze, and his smile faded. “What are you trying to say?
Pearl felt a pang of bitterness, thinking he cared about her speaking ill of Jenny. “Nothing. If you have no business with me, please don’t interfere with my work.” With that, she finished her wine and prepared to leave.
“Wait.”
The word was gentle, yet Pearl couldn’t help but stop. It was ingrained in her, something she couldn’t forget.
“I said I need to work,” she said through gritted teeth.
