Chapter 645
Richard didn’t say anything. He casually muted his phone and turned to look at Pearl behind
him.
“Jenny has even chased you here. It seems she’s really not giving up on you.” Pearl recognized that voice. She was sitting by the bed, and her expression immediately turned serious.
“What is it? Are you jealous?”
That comment had a hint of teasing, but Richard found it quite amusing. He smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, holding it playfully.
Pearl pushed Richard’s hand away with force, straightening her hair, and answered sarcastically, “Me? Jealous? No way! By the way, did you mute your phone because you’re afraid she’d hear me here with you?”
“No, I just didn’t want to cause you any trouble.” Richard leaned over and pinched her cheek, his voice tinged with helplessness and indulgence.
Pearl snorted in disagreement.
On the other end of the phone, Jenny became even more anxious when there was no one responding to her. “Rick, I’m here for the Fashion Week and I happened to remember you’re in this area. I’m not familiar with this place. Can you come and pick me up?”
No man could have refused this, but Richard remained composed. “I’m busy right now. How about I send my assistant to pick you up?” It was obvious that he was just trying to brush her off.
When Pearl heard this, she let out a satisfied ‘hmph.‘
However, Jenny immediately picked up on it. “Who’s over there with you, Rick? Why do I hear a woman’s voice?”
“I’m in a meeting.”
Richard said he was in a meeting, but his hands were anything but obedient. He traced along Pearl’s pointing finger and couldn’t help but play with her fingertips.
“Richard!” Pearl lowered her voice, pushed him away angrily, and scolded, “Can’t you behave yourself?”
Men can be so mischievous!
“You’re my girlfriend. Why should I hold back?” Richard countered. Her hands were surprisingly soft.
Then, he lowered the volume of his phone and casually tossed it aside. With one hand, he pulled Pearl closer, wrapping her in his arms.
“Let go of me.” Pearl pushed against his ch*st as he drew nearer, smoothly changing the subject.
Richard lowered his head, his eyes obscure in the dimly lit room.
Pearl happened to meet his gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, Richard’s
lips pressed onto hers like a sudden storm.
The phone was left on the soft blanket and emitted a faint sound, but it didn’t affect what the two were doing at all.
After a while, the phone’s sound gradually faded, finally falling silent.
Just as Richard was about to take things further, Pearl reached out and pressed against his chest. “That’s enough for now.”
“Why don’t we go on?” Richard had no intention of stopping at all.
Pearl glared at him fiercely. “What if you suddenly lose your feelings for me like before? What am I supposed to do?”
Only then did Richard relent, suppressing his inner emotions. He gently wiped the corner of her mouth and said, “Okay.”
“What about Jenny?”

Now that Jenny was in Mernaut, it was obvious that she was here for Richard. She was probably going to cause trouble again. Thinking of this woman gave Pearl a terrible headache. “Don’t worry. If she dares to do anything to you, I won’t let her off the hook”
