Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

“Oh, I’m fine. It’s just that my ankle hurts so bad,” the lady replied with a smile, though her expression was tinged with sadness. 

“I feel like I’ve seen you so many times. Since the first time you gave me flowers, you’ve always been very mysterious. Now that we are meeting again, could you tell me your name, please?” Pearl asked with a warm 

smile. 

“I… My last name is Ramsay.” 

“You can’t tell me your name? That’s fine, I’ll just call you Madam Ramsay then.” 

The woman nodded and didn’t say anything more. 

After sending her to the hospital, Pearl told her to take care of herself and left. She returned to the office but was summoned into a meeting before she could even take a moment to rest. 

“Pearl, you have a new mission.” Richard turned around and placed a file on the desk, then slid it over. “We plan to design an Angel & Devil series of bracelets for best friends, but we haven’t found a suitable brand ambassador. I was wondering if we should use you for this.” 

Pearl’s eyes went wide. “Why me again? Richard, I’m the design director, not a celebrity. Why don’t you get a proper celebrity to do this?” 

Richard 

gave a practical reason, “We can save a lot of money if we go with you.” 

Pearl smiled. Why would the Waldorfs fret over the small expense of hiring a brand ambassador? That 

seemed ridiculous. 

“Are you just trying to torture me, Richard?” 

Richard didn’t deny it. “Of course not. I was just thinking from the company’s perspective.” 

His main reason, of course, was that if Pearl had to be in the ads, he would have more opportunities to spend 

time with her. While she worked in the office, their conversations were limited to business matters. 

Pearl wasn’t aware of his ulterior motive, so she hesitated. “But shouldn’t two people be involved in promoting these best friend bracelets?” 

“Don’t worry, I’ll find someone to do it with you.” 

Suddenly, Hanzel appeared out of nowhere. “Why didn’t you ask me to be part of the ads? Asking me to find someone for you is so cruel.” 

Hanzel pouted and looked quite unwilling. 

“Cruel? You can’t do it. It’s not suitable for you,” Richard shot him down. 

Hanzel wasn’t ready to give up and moved closer to Richard. “Why not? You said Pearl is going to be in the ad. If she can, why can’t I? Are you doing this on purpose? I heard you confessed your feelings to Pearl in front of her and Mom. Are you afraid that Pearl might catch feelings for me if we worked together?” 

Richard frowned. “Why would I be afraid of that?”
