Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 749

Pearl didn't tell anyone about everything that had happened.

Silas was a carefree guy, not someone who looked for trouble. This didn't seem like something he would do. So, there was only one person...

Pearl narrowed her eyes, contemplating a different perspective.

Two minutes later, the author with the username "PearlProber" suddenly deleted the post.

The situation now favored Pearl, and everyone believed that Celine was the person in the photo. Furthermore, both of them gained more fans and became more popular.

Right after that, Pearl called Celine. When Celine answered, she sounded flustered.

"What's up, Celine? I'm just checking in. Why do you sound so nervous?" Pearl asked with a smile.

"I'm fine. What's going on, Miss Pearl?"

"Oh, nothing serious. I'm just wondering why you haven't posted that video yet. Silas has already posted his, and it seems you haven't."

Celine had a bit of sweat on her forehead. "Uh... I got busy and forgot about it."

Pearl probed, "What kept you busy? I don't remember assigning any tasks to you."

Celine's voice sounded somewhat nervous, "No, these are some things I planned for myself. I can't just sit around, right?"

Pearl nodded thoughtfully. "Fair enough. So, show me what you've been working on. If it's good, I might even give you a reward."

Celine guessed that Pearl might have found out something, but she still wanted to make a last-ditch effort. "Miss Pearl, I—"

Pearl chuckled. "Why are you so nervous? I'm not here to scold you."

"Miss Pearl, did you… find out?"

Pearl didn't expose her but instead gave her advice, "Remember, you're still part of the company. If you start doing things you shouldn't, I can't guarantee what might happen."

She wasn't a saint—she believed in getting even when wronged. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Celine broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed she was right. Pearl knew!

Pearl chuckled again. Playing with her ring, she casually said, "You did really well this time. I'm thinking of rewarding you with 150 thousand dollars. Go get it from the finance department later."

This statement left Celine even more puzzled. She had done something wrong, so why was she getting a bonus?

"Miss Pearl, I did—"

Before Celine could finish her sentence, Pearl interrupted, "What did you do? Didn't you shoot a video with Silas, solving the issue with last night's photos perfectly? There's no reason to penalize you."

Celine finally understood. Pearl was pretending not to know, giving her a hint.

"Thank you, Miss Pearl."

"You're welcome. But if you ever get the chance, maybe learn some computer skills from me. You couldn't even hide an IP address." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Celine's eyes widened, almost forgetting that this seemingly harmless and smiling president was once a fearsome top hacker!

"I-I got it." She hung up the phone nervously.

Celine then stared at the account that had just logged out on her computer screen. She had mixed feelings and a lingering fear, like narrowly escaping a disaster.
