Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 707

Blake playfully teased Pearl about the situation at the hospital, and Pearl nodded in agreement. "Yes, Raymond is quite capable."

"Of course. I hope you two end up together, but he already likes someone else." Blake clicked his tongue in regret.

When Pearl saw Raymond at the door unexpectedly, she motioned for Blake to stop. "Let's not talk about this, okay?"

"Okay... Eh, Raymond? What are you doing here?" Blake was curious about Pearl's words, but Raymond entered the room shortly after.

"You're always here, but my work keeps me busy." Raymond took a seat nearby and explained, "Now that I have some free time, I dropped by to see Pearl." "Raymond, how's the company doing now?" Pearl was most concerned about her company's progress.

Raymond sounded confident as he replied, "Don't worry. It's getting better and has returned to its previous level."

Pearl felt an immense sense of relief upon hearing the news from Raymond. It seemed she could overcome the challenges even without Richard.

"I can be discharged today. Thank you for looking after my company during these days. How about I treat you guys to a meal? What do you think?"

Pearl was never one to stay quiet, and her hospital stay had left her feeling a bit gloomy. Since they had been a tremendous help to her, she decided to show her gratitude by treating them to a meal.

Raymond agreed, while Blake playfully joked, "Sure, let me choose the place. You'll foot the bill, of course."

Pearl rolled her eyes at Blake. "You just want to trick me into paying again!"

"I'm just kidding. After all your company has been through, I can't let you pay," Blake quickly reassured her.

Pearl smiled. She didn't take it to heart, knowing that Blake was not stingy. Despite the losses her company had suffered, she could afford a meal. Additionally, her company wasn't her sole source of income. After a brief discussion, they decided to dine at a nearby restaurant belonging to Cerubleu. It was quite popular and generated a substantial profit.

Upon entering the restaurant, Pearl immediately noticed a couple sitting nearby. They occupied a special spot designed exclusively for couples, which attracted many young couples. Currently, the couple were sitting across from each other and chatting happily.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see Richard here," Blake remarked.

Stepping into the restaurant, Blake had witnessed the scene and wasted no time in poking fun at Richard. "You've already found yourself a new fiancee? You truly are charming!" Raymond intervened sensibly, preventing Blake from going too far. "That's enough, Blake. It's none of our business." He then glanced at Pearl, who had remained standing for a while. "Raymond is right. It has nothing to do with us," Pearl said calmly, wearing a smile.

Seeing Pearl's reaction, Raymond was relieved. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
