Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 729

Winona had intentionally used her charms to seduce Richard. In her past experiences, men had often complimented her for her exceptional figure. She believed that they often thought with their desires, so she occasionally needed to use such tactics.

However, Richard remained unfazed and kept his attention firmly on the documents scattered across his desk. He displayed no interest in her attempts to captivate him.

Winona's back started to ache from leaning over, yet he showed no inclination to acknowledge her. She massaged her back and straightened up, pouting as she said, "Why won't you look at me, Rick?" "Winnie." Richard finally glanced up, his face expressionless and cold. "I'll say this one last time. I don't appreciate interruptions when I'm working. If you keep doing this, I won't allow you to visit me during office hours."

It was the first time she had seen him looking so stern and cold, leaving her momentarily speechless. "Okay, Richard..."

Realizing how cold he was, Richard looked away. "You should leave if there's nothing important."

"Alright."

Usually, she would try to speak to him a little longer, but he was especially cold today. She withdrew without further ado, feeling a sense of bitterness, and silently blamed Pearl for this before grabbing her purse and leaving his office.

Watching Winona walk away, Richard thought about the recording, his expression darkening.

Over the next few days, Silas began attracting more viewers, as if some limitation on his channel had been lifted. This was a positive development for Cerubleu.

However, streaming games alone had started to bore his audience, so Pearl decided to try something new.

"What about staging a PR relationship?" she suggested.

Silas frowned upon hearing her proposal. "I could do that with you, but not with anyone else."

Anticipating his response, Pearl furrowed her brows. "I'm your boss. We won't be doing that together."

"I won't do it with anyone else either," Silas asserted. Despite his past as a playboy, he had turned over a new leaf. Loyalty was his best weapon!

"It doesn't have to be a real relationship, just a partnership between a man and a woman to bring in more viewers," Pearl explained.

Silas waved his hand dismissively. "I can buy viewers with money if I need to."

Pearl lost her temper for the first time, raising her voice. "Am I the boss here, or are you?"

Seeing her anger, Silas lowered his head and whispered, "But I'm a loyal man. I don't want to work with other women."

"Listen, if you don't follow my orders, you're going against your boss. The company doesn't need employees who won't listen." Pearl's implication was clear: she would fire him if he didn't comply.

Silas wasn't pleased with her recurrent threats of dismissal, but he could only force a smile. "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say."

Pearl felt satisfied, thinking he had finally understood. "I'll arrange a meeting with Celine to see if you can collaborate."

Celine Beaumont was another famous influencer working with Pearl. She had a sweet and endearing image, often referred to as many people's first crush. If the two of them teamed up, it would undoubtedly attract a large following.

Silas concealed his dissatisfaction, feigning interest. "Sure, I... look forward to it."

When the time was right, he intended to reveal his true intentions. Pearl couldn't blame him for being tricky about it then.
