"Pea, | call this way to pick you up. Just dothe favor of riding in my car," Silas pleaded, blocking Pearl's path with an innocent smile.
Pearl, feeling a surge of annoyance, looked up at the towering figure of Silas, who stood nearly 1.90 meters tall. Her voice was tinged with frustration.
"| already said no. What if your car breaks down again? I'll be late for work. It's safer if | drive myself."
Surprisingly, Silas seemed delighted by her response. "Pea, you have a car? That's great. Just givea ride to work then."
Pearl, now thoroughly exasperated, retorted, "What? Who are you to askfor a ride to work?"
Silas didn't back down. "How about this? You drive my car and dropoff at work." He reached into the car through the window, retrieving the car
key and offering it to her. "Here, take it."
Pearl tossed the key back into his arms with a huff. "You do it yourself. I'm leaving."

As she turned to walk away, Silas watched her departure helplessly before sighing and getting back into his car.
Pearl had expected Silas to give up after they arrived at the company, but his determination remained unwavering.
The office was bustling with activity during business hours, and Pearl's office was located in the innermost part.
Silas confidently strolled into the office and, much to everyone's bewilderment, closed the door behind him. His persistence in pursuing Pearl was on
full display.
Pearl was furious when she saw Silas, leisurely playing with his phone and sitting with his legs crossed on the couch. "It's office hours. Shouldn't you
be at work on tsince you're an employee in my company?"
Silas grinned. "Pea, my job is quite simple. I'm just doing a live show."
"Yes, that's your job. So where's your live show?"
Silas nonchalantly continued fiddling with his phone. "I'm doing it right now. See?"
Pearl looked over and saw him playing a game. "Playing games?" she exclaimed in disbelief.
But Silas was not at all ashamed. "Well, isn't streaming a gstill considered a live show?"
Pearl couldn't believe how difficult Silas was being. She gritted her teeth and scolded him, "The company designated you as a charismatic streamer,
not a gaming streamer!"
"But I'm technically doing a live show." Silas exited the gon his phone when his character died. "See? I'm doing my job."
Stunned, Pearl entered his live show by using her phone.
However, as soon as she joined, there was an uproar in the live show's chat.

[Ah! Who's that?]
[Why is there a woman's voice in Mister's stream? Is it his girlfriend?]
Mister... Pearl couldn't help but twitch her lips at the nicknSilas had chosen for himself.
[No, didn't you hear him? It's his boss.]
[Why can't his boss be his girlfriend? Mister has never been this gentle to any woman before.]
[No way! | don't want to get my heart broken so soon. | just found a favorite streamer who's cute, handsome, and down-to-earth...]
[Wait. Look! Something's off about the newcomer's username.]
Pearl's heart sank as she read that comment and noticed her username: Pearlbelle!
Oh, shoot. She forgot to switch to her other account.
