Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 

Only Abby knew if she really was concerned about Pearl. 

Pearl cast a cold glance at Abby before heading to her desk. Her desk, which had previously been cluttered with stacks of work, was now empty. She furrowed her brows and asked a colleague sitting nearby, “Where are my files?” 

She worked really hard to get all those files, and many of the documents were only partially completed. Why were they missing? 

Her colleague looked at Pearl and explained, “Abby took them because you’ve been absent for a while. She helped you finish all the work.” 

Did Abby intend to take credit for work that Pearl had already completed? This infuriated Pearl. She took a deep breath, preparing to confront Abby, but Abby beat her to it. 

“What did you do?” 

“Calm down. I finished all the work, but it’s for your own good. I’m sure you don’t want the company’s work to be delayed because of your absence. Since I didn’t know when you’d return, I didn’t want to risk delaying our progress. I didn’t think you’d want that responsibility.” 

Pearl scoffed. “I know the project timeline and whether I’d cause any delays. There’s no need for you to 

worry.” 

“I’m doing this for the company. It’s one thing if you were absent, but we’re a team, and this agreement requires teamwork. Are you truly fine with potentially causing delays for everyone else?” 

The tension in the room escalated. Pearl realized that since her return, Abby had become cleverer with her 

words. 

Pearl looked around. “If anyone here thinks I’ve caused any delays, please let me know. That way, I won’t 

need to ask each one of you.” 

Abby’s face froze. “Anyway, there’s no need to be upset. Even though I finished the work, I submitted it under your name, so there’s no reason to worry.” 

Pearl looked at her suspiciously, as she doubted Abby’s intentions were entirely benevolent. 

As expected, Pearl suddenly received a call from the investors, informing her that there were issues with the design and the numbers didn’t add up. It was impossible to use the products. 

Pearl froze because she knew this was coming. 

“I’m glad I hadn’t started mass production and only created a sample. If I had initiated production right away, we could have faced huge losses,” the investor said, sounding displeased. 

“I’ll revise the design and send it to you by tonight.”
