Chapter 52
Richard gave Pearl a cold look and said seriously, “Your injury will get worse if you go home now. Do
you want to stay here a bit longer?”
“Okay, when you see Mister Dustan, tell him I’m staying at a friend’s house for two days. Don’t mention
the kidnapping.”
Pearl didn’t want to worry Dustan. She felt she had already troubled him a lot.
Richard agreed to it and left.
Two days later, Pearl was discharged from the hospital and heard that Abby had been arrested. After
that, she stopped thinking about it and focused on her work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe jewelry set called First Love and First Sight was selling well. But it needed a famous person to
promote it. Hanzel was perfect for the job.
Hanzel had many fans, mostly young girls and women. They would love this jewelry.
When Pearl returned to Waldorf Residence, she talked about this with Hanzel, who immediately
agreed.
“But isn’t this jewelry for couples?” Hanzel asked with a playful smile. “It might be boring if I’m the only
one in the ad. Why don’t you join me, Pearl?”
He had a point. The jewelry was for couples, so an ad with a lovely couple would be more appealing.
Pearl was thinking about it when Richard spoke up, “Are you saying Waldorf Enterprises can’t find a
suitable woman for the ad? Why push Pearl into it?”
Hanzel smirked. “Come on, Rick. Pearl isn’t yours. Even the director said she’s beautiful. He even
thought of adding her to the crew.” Grinning, he gave Pearl a warm look.
In fact, he had some selfish motives. Nancie had always been her idol, so shooting an ad with Pearl
would be awesome.
“Pearl is busy with work, and it’s unnecessary.” Richard refused to give in. He was annoyed when he
saw people on the Internet referring to Hanzel and Pearl as a perfect couple because of their previous
music video.
“Forget it. I won’t ask you.” Hanzel pouted and asked Pearl, “What do you think, Pearl?”

Pearl’s vague answer made Richard’s face sink. But he didn’t say anything and just glanced at her
indifferently before leaving the dining table.
Pearl was confused. Why was Richard acting so strange all of a sudden?
She didn’t think about it for long. She casually took a few bites and followed Richard to the office.
As soon as she sat down, a secretary gave her a stack of documents.
“The president instructed you to finish these in three days, Miss Pearl.”
Three days for all this work?
Pearl felt an incoming headache. She had a feeling that Richard was trying to keep her busy on
purpose. But she couldn’t say no, so she started working.
For the next few days, Richard kept giving her more work. Every time she finished something, there
was something new waiting for her.
Did he… not want her to do the advertisement?
Pearl felt irritated and cursed him inwardly. Why was he being so childish?
