Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

“Miss Pearl, Cerubleu recently encountered some sales issues, and I think you should take a look at it.

”

Wayne sounded serious so the situation was probably grave.

Pearl remembered how Richard lost his cool when Jenny was mentioned and immediately agreed. Howe

ver, since the partnership with NK Group was not yet finalized, Pearl decided to speak with Raymond Yo

rk before leaving.

Pearl found Raymond enjoying tea in the hall, where the aroma of tea filled the air.

“Miss Pearl, I had a feeling you’d come to see me.” Raymond appeared smug about his prediction, leavin

“Why do you say that?***

“You’re a smart person, so you would know how much profit Waldorf Enterprises would make from this p artnership with NK.

He smiled, but it made her feel uncomfortable.

Pearl smiled and asked, “So, what are your thoughts on this partnership?”

He tried to play coy. “I was so disappointed that Mister Richard refused to work with us… But, if you coul

d give us a number we can’t refuse, we might just consider working with you.”

As for the bargaining chip, it really depends on how tempting it was.

“The development of Waldorf Enterprises is witnessed by everyone. I’m sure you know that. Working wit

h us would be a win- win situation.”

Pearl’s words didn’t seem to sway him, so he continued smiling. “I think you should consider a different a

pproach.”

Pearl frowned. That wasn’t good enough?

“I don’t really understand what you mean. Why don’t you be direct about this?”

Raymond dropped his pretense. “I think you’re the biggest bargaining chip.”

A weird expression flashed across Pearl’s face before she responded, “I still don’t understand what you

His statements not only showcased how powerful NK was, he even gave her a good reason to leave.

ne of these offers tempted her.

“I’m just a lowly employee. I wouldn’t dream of becoming leverage for Waldorf Enterprises to work with N

K.” Pearl made her rejection clear.

“If you’re not interested, I won’t force you, but NK will not be giving way for this partnership.”

After hearing this, Pearl stood up and gave a faint smile. “I understand your position. If that’s the case, I

won’t push you any further.”

As she turned to leave, Raymond called after her. “Wait, Miss Pearl.”

Pearl smirked before turning around. “Yes?”

Raymond wouldn’t let this partnership sl*p away, and she was well aware of it.

Raymond sighed. “Fine. We’ll proceed with the partnership between our two companies. I’ll send the cont

Pearl’s smile was genuine. “Likewise.”

“Miss Pearl, to be honest, I like you even more now.”

Pearl’s smile radiated warmth and sincerity. Unlike materialistic women, she possessed cleverness and t
