All she could do at this point was take it one step at a time and not allow him to disrupt her plans.
At six in the morning, after finishing her work, Pearl was about to return to Hugo’s villa when she
accidentally bumped into the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady was still sweeping the floor while lost in
thought and hadn’t noticed Pearl approaching.
Pearl initially thought that this peculiar woman was intentionally ignoring her and was prepared to
leave, but then the woman’s robotic voice broke the silence. “You ended up
working as an escort, didn’t you?” Her voice held a mix of emotions–some happiness and a touch of
indignant regret.
“Why does it matter, ma’am?” Pearl responded politely, even though she wasn’t sure whether she liked

“You’re a disgrace to your mother.” The woman’s voice suddenly sounded sharp and impatient.
For some reason, Pearl felt the need to explain herself, despite not owing this woman any explanation.
“I have my reasons for doing this, ma’am.”
“It doesn’t matter what your reasons are. Being an escort means you’ve done something despicable.”
Pearl felt like she was receiving a lecture. Was this woman trying to impart some moral lesson to her?
Pearl couldn’t quite understand, but she knew it was futile to speak further with a stranger. She simply
wanted to get home so that her mother wouldn’t worry.
“I have my plans no matter what I do, so you don’t need to worry about me,” Pearl replied politely
before turning to leave.
The woman slowly looked up, revealing a pair of blurry eyes. If Pearl had taken a closer look, she might
have realized these eyes looked familiar.
Back at the villa, it was still early, and everyone else was still asleep. Only Hugo had gone for an early
morning jog.
When he saw Pearl returning with heavy makeup, the scent of alcohol, and the faint smell of cigarettes,
he furrowed his brows and spoke somewhat curtly, “This outfit is rather inappropriate.”
Even so, he still believed Pearl wouldn’t do anything that went against her principles.
Pearl ran her fingers through her newly permed hair and grinned. “Don’t I look good? I got my hair
permed at the salon. I heard it’s the latest trend.”
“Not at all. I think the previous curls looked just right.”
Pearl rolled her eyes. “You have bad taste.” She then stretched her arms and yawned, visibly
exhausted. “Listen, you can’t imagine how tiring it is to stay up all night. Even though I enjoy a good

entire night there.”
Pearl kicked off her four–inch heels to give her legs a break, removed her jacket, and headed upstairs,
wearing nothing but a slip dress.
Hugo watched her with intense eyes as she ascended the staircase.
