The popularity of the video ensured that their collaboration would continue. Everyone involved deserved credit for the video's success.

Pearl decided to treat everyone to dinner and offer them a bonus. She called Hugh, but he declined immediately, saying, "I'm busy. I'm spending time with my wife abroad. You go ahead."

"You're not good enough for your wife. I hope you have something others don't…" Pearl grumbled, reminding him that she played a role in their relationship.

Hugh's wife had been her best friend while she was abroad—a stunning and gentle woman with ambition and goals, the epitome of a modern independent woman.

"If I'm not good enough, are you?" Hugh retorted before hanging up.

Pearl was annoyed. When she called Silas, she sounded impatient. "What are you up to?"

"I'm with Celine," Silas Silas replied, glancing at Celine, who was persistently pursuing him and looking helpless. He wished he could escape from her.

"Oh, you two are bonding," Pearl's tone softened, thinking that if they could become a real couple, their scripted romance might become a reality, much to the delight of their fans.

However, she was unaware that Silas was irritated. "Pearl, I'm just doing this for work. It's not what you think!" He spoke in a warning tone, his flirtatious eyes now as cold as ice. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

To avoid further aggravating him, Pearl changed the subject. "Alright, alright, I'll stop. I'm planning dinner tonight with the two of you. Can you make it?"

Silas smiled and nodded. He would always have time for Pearl. "Of course!"

"Okay, check with Celine if she's available."

Silas's expression soured, and he impatiently asked, "Dinner tonight?"

Celine, who had been oblivious to their conversation and only had eyes for Silas, thought he was inviting her for dinner alone and was thrilled. "Sure, I'd love to."

"She can make it, Pea…"

Before he could finish, Pearl cut him off. "I'll send you the location then."
