Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 741

"Get the PR team on this immediately. We can't afford any delays on this matter." Pearl was about to call Wayne when her phone was suddenly snatched away. "Why did you take my phone?"

"Why do we need PR?" Silas was eager to make it public.

Pearl sighed in exasperation. "You're currently in a PR stunt with Celine. Obviously, we can't have rumors about you being intimate with other women."

Silas was notorious for his stubbornness, making it futile to argue with him. If this scandal were confirmed, it would not only damage his popularity but also harm Celine's reputation, causing significant losses to the company.

The ripple effect that would follow was unpredictable, making it essential to handle the situation delicately.

Silas, seemingly unfazed, flirted with Pearl, proposing an unconventional idea. "Then let's not stir things up with her. Find someone else. I think you're not bad, sis. How about pairing up a young heartthrob influencer with a domineering female president? I heard age-gap relationships are quite popular these days."

Pearl's expression turned grim. Through gritted teeth, she retorted, "Nobody wants to have an age- gap romance with you!"

She decided not to engage in further arguments and snatched her phone back. As she was about to make the call, she suddenly had an idea, her eyes filled with excitement.

Silas looked intrigued. "What's wrong? Having second thoughts?"

"You know what? Since it's all just a PR stunt, why can't this woman be Celine?"

The prospect of this scandal involving both of them seemed appealing to Pearl, but Silas was not on the same page. His hopeful expression quickly faded. "I disagree."

Pearl casually shrugged. "Your disagreement won't change anything. I'm the boss."

Silas, however, made a weak attempt at negotiation. "Well then, how about you handle the PR and say the person in the photo is my sister?"

Pearl rolled her eyes. "The Quinton family's lineage only passes through males. Where did you get a sister from?"

"You've got my family all figured out, and you're still saying you don't like me."

"I just did some basic investigations about you." His lack of basic knowledge about his own family left Pearl unimpressed.

"Why investigate me and not others? I'm sure you like me."

Silas's argument was quite a stretch, leading Pearl to scold him further. "If you keep spouting nonsense like this, I'll fire you immediately."

Frustrated, Silas glared at her. "You're just settling a personal score." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Pearl smiled slyly. "So if you want to stay in the company, you better behave and listen to me."

Silas, who had been trying to control his temper, slouched and finally admitted defeat. "I get it. You can handle things however you want."

Pearl was feeling quite pleased with herself when Silas unexpectedly reached out and gently cupped her face, speaking earnestly, "You have to remember that I'm so patient with you only because I like you, not because I'm afraid of you."

"Don't try to act like a domineering president at your age," Pearl retorted, slapping his hand away with a loud smack.

"That hurts. Are you trying to kill your future husband?" Changing the topic abruptly, Silas made an unexpected request. "But if you really want to put it out there that the girl was Celine, you have to grant me a wish."

This request made Pearl slightly uncomfortable, but she nodded. "As long as you don't go overboard."

"I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend and accompany me to a family dinner."

Pearl's eyes widened in surprise. Pretend to be his girlfriend?!
