Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 785

Pearl immediately remembered the girl who had been sent to the hospital—it was most likely Estrella Ford. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Alright, thanks," she replied dismissively.

Celine didn't seem pleased with Pearl's lack of reaction. "Miss Pearl, they're trying to undermine us. If a big company like that becomes our competitor, are you not going to do anything to fight back?"

Celine was less concerned about the competition and more upset that Sapphire Group was investing so much in Estrella, while Pearl had only found a replacement to share profits with her. She felt slighted, believing she was just as attractive as Estrella, if not more so.

"So do you have any suggestions?" Pearl inquired, sensing that Celine was scheming but not wanting to confront her directly.

Celine, having a plan in mind, nodded eagerly. "I think they'll be hosting some events. Shouldn't we have one as well?" She felt she was losing out on resources and needed to fight for them.

Pearl agreed to the idea. "Sure, let's do that. Cerubleu has designed friendship rings, and I want a few people from our company to endorse them so we can gain visibility. How about you team up with Rosalie for this?"

Celine was initially thrilled about modeling for a prestigious brand like Cerubleu. However, when she heard that she'd be working alongside Rosalie, a newcomer with fewer fans, her enthusiasm waned.

Why would Rosalie, someone who just started and didn't have a lot of fans, get to be in an ad campaign with her? They were on different levels.

Celine shot a hateful glare at Rosalie. "Rosalie has only recently joined us and is not very experienced. She might mess things up if she takes on these jobs."

Even Rosalie thought Celine's words made sense. Putting jewelry that was so expensive on her would be a waste. She was planning to decline when Pearl casually said, "You need to understand that I believe Rosalie's beauty suits this jewelry collection. Your involvement is only because it's a friendship pair. If you don't want to do it, I can find a new partner for Rosalie."

Even Rosalie was shocked, let alone Celine. Celine was the spare?

Celine turned purple but refrained from arguing further. She politely responded, "I apologize, Miss Pearl. I was hasty in my judgment. We should give newcomers a chance. When do we start shooting then?"

She didn't want to risk losing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by arguing with Pearl. She hoped to mend the situation.

Pearl crossed her arms and smiled casually. "Why the change of heart? You said you didn't want to work with Rosalie. If you're not comfortable with it, I won't force you."

Celine froze, caught off guard by Pearl's unexpected response. "No, Miss Pearl. I was just thinking about the company's interests. Rosalie doesn't have a large following so she might not contribute much to sales."

Pearl touched her chin. "She'll start gaining followers after participating in this event. You don't need to worry about that. Focus on your own follower count."

Pearl implied that Celine should mind her own business and work on improving herself.
