Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) -
Chapter 879
Blake wandered around the company, trying to find that familiar figure.
Finally, he spotted her in a corner, packing up her things. "I told you, you can't escape," he mumbled as he approached her.
Celine was lost in her thoughts, thinking about her resignation. Silas's resignation became the talk of the town among the company's team leaders. With her target gone, she saw no reason to remain here.
She speculated that Silas had moved to a rival company. Joining him there might catch his attention and possibly lead to something more...
However, her train of thought was abruptly halted when someone appeared in front of her. The sight of this man caused her to catch her breath.
He was absolutely stunning!
With thick eyebrows, almond eyes, a nice nose, and slightly pale lips, he was undeniably attractive, almost elf-like in his beauty. He wasn't too far off from Silas, and some might argue he was even better- looking.
Was he the new influencer? If so, maybe she should reconsider leaving. Who wouldn't be captivated by someone this handsome?
Wait, was he talking to her?
Celine's heart raced. She didn't expect the prince to notice her, Cinderella.
"Hello," she stammered, but the disappointment in the man's eyes was evident as soon as she spoke.
Why was he disappointed? Before Celine could realize the situation, his smile vanished.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."
Celine touched her face, puzzled. How could he think she was someone else? Did she have a doppelganger?
Then it hit her. Was he looking for... Rosalie?
Celine clenched her jaw so hard her teeth might break. Why were all the men drawn to Rosalie? She wasn't famous or prettier than herself. So why was she getting all the attention? "Are you looking for Rosalie?"
Blake's expression brightened. "Do you know her? Where is she?"
Despite her resentment, Celine flashed her sweetest smile. "Of course, she's my co-worker. We're close, so feel free to ask me anything about her."
She set two traps with her response. On one hand, she could get closer to this attractive man. On the other hand, she hinted at her closeness to Rosalie-she would change his mind by giving him some unflattering information.
There was no way her copycat would get the man she herself couldn't!
"You know her very well then?" Blake inquired.
Celine nodded eagerly. "Yes, she shares everything with me-her dinner dates, gifts she receives, even the men she goes drinking with. I know it all."
Celine was so delighted after seeing Blake's expression change.
