Chapter 57

Richard’s voice brought Pearl back to reality. Her heart raced when she saw him, his gaze intense in

the dim light.

“What’s wrong?”

Richard seemed different from his usual self, likely due to the wine he’d consumed. His gaze appeared

even more intense than usual.

don’t you?”

“You like Hanzel, don’t you?”

Pearl raised her brows in response. “Why do you think I like Hanzel?”

Richard got closer. “Why did you shoot an advertisement with him if you didn’t like him? Why didn’t you

reject his advances? And…” He trailed off, his expression unreadable.

Pearl used her hand to stop him from coming closer and whispered, “You’re drunk, Richard.”

He seemed to sober up a bit and stepped back. “I’m not drunk. I just want to remind you not to become

Hanzel’s girlfriend. What happened the other day should serve as a lesson.”

His words sent a chill down Pearl’s spine as she remembered the incident a few months ago when

Hanzel’s passionate and aggressive fans had kidnapped her and assaulted her.

Luckily, she was not much interested in Hanzel, or his fans would do much worse.

“Got it. Thank you for the reminder, but I’m really not interested in Hanzel,” Pearl replied with a smile.

“I’m going t now if there’s nothing else you want to say.”

The atmosphere felt tense and filled with Richard’s undisclosed thoughts, making Pearl eager to

escape.

Besides, Richard had agreed with his silence.

“Goodnight. Don’t stay up too late.” After bidding him goodnight, Pearl hurried to her room.

The following day at work, Richard didn’t summon her to his office for their usual discussions about the

new season. It struck Pearl as odd, but she didn’t ask about it.

Around noon, Pearl heard a nearby coworker scream, “Help! My computer just crashed!”

Pearl looked over suspiciously when every computer in the planning department blacked out.

At the same time, cries of distress filled the office.

“I just finished my proposal and forgot to save it!”

“I’ve just completed my design!”

“What’s happening? Isn’t anyone going to fix this?”

Listening to their complaints, Pearl stood up and cleared her throat “Okay, everyone, please calm

down.”

“How? Everyone’s computer crashed except yours, Miss Pearl,” a person mumbled, earning her a cold

glare from Pearl. The person fell silent in fear.

In fact, Pearl’s computer didn’t crash because it was equipped with a system she had designed.

Viruses could not hack into it.
