Chapter 36
Richard glued his fervent gaze on her, burning with desire
“Richard-”
Pearl was interrupted by Richard’s stiff and inexperienced kiss, but he deepened the kiss with each passing second.
Knowing that the drug had full control of him, Pearl bit his lips to force some sense into him. When he staggered backward, she clambered on top of him and knocked him out as he was about to make his next move.
“Troublesome.” She got to her feet and kicked him. “What a rogue, taking liberties with me while out of it.”
Pearl called for the Waldorf family bodyguards to take Richard to the hospital because it would be too conspicuous to call for an ambulance.
When Richard opened his eyes, the first person he saw was the stoic Pearl. Shocked, he asked, “Have you been taking care of me the whole night?”
“You were careless to get drugged,” Pearl mocked, ignoring his question.
Richard fell silent and did not refute as she was right.
“Since you’re up, I’ll be leaving now.” Uneasiness prompted Pearl to leave as the sight of Richard made her recall how he had defended Abby.
“Sean seems very interested in you,” Richard suddenly said.
Cocking her brows, Pearl asked, “And does that have anything to do with you?
“Sean likes to compete with me for everything. I’m worried he’s trying to get close to you because of me instead of out of real feelings,” Richard answered honestly.
His logic made Pearl snicker. “You’re interested in me too, aren’t you, Mister Richard? Is that why Sean wants to compete with you?”
Richard was struck dumb by her words. He then replied awkwardly, “Whatever.” His indifferent response made Pearl stop teasing him.
After a brief rest, they returned to the office together.
Deep dissatisfaction washed over Abby after her scheme was exposed. She stared at Pearl in jealousy, thinking “Where did they go all night? Richard was drugged. Did they.. Anxiety got the better of her, and she glared at Pearl.
Seeing this, Pearl was amused. “Are you curious about what we did last night?”
Abby demanded, her face distorted with anger, “What did you two do last night?”
“Last night, we… What do you think? A man and a woman alone at night. Of course, something was bound to happen.” novelbin
Abby was overcome by jealousy and she lost control at the thought of Richard sleeping with Pearl. “Spill! What did you do? If you take advantage of Rick, I’ll make you pay!”
“I took advantage of Richard’s difficulty? But I didn’t force him. We were willing participants.”
