Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 876

It was a difficult decision to fire Silas. Even though their relationship wasn't close, he had brought in a lot of profits for the company, not to mention he came from an influential family. Letting him go so suddenly would mean a big loss for her as well.

Pearl was weighing her options when Richard spoke up, "Waldorf Enterprises will cover your losses."

"I appreciate your generosity, but I'm not sure it's a good idea," Pearl replied. She knew Richard wouldn't let her bear the burden alone, but she preferred earning her own money rather than relying on his. It wouldn't be as fun as making the money herself.

Richard saw her expression change and immediately knew what she was thinking. "I'll pay double the loss."

Reluctantly, Pearl agreed, smiling. "Well, since you're being so cool about it, I'll accept." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Richard's expression softened. "It's Thursday, so you should be going to work. Let me drive you there."

Pearl, who had been preoccupied with Silas, realized she had almost forgotten about work. "Sure."

With Richard as her driver for the day, they arrived at the office quickly.

As Pearl entered, she was greeted by Wayne, who wore a serious expression.

"What's wrong? You look upset," Pearl remarked, noting his unusual demeanor.

"Pea," he began, his brow furrowed, "Silas resigned."

The realization hit Pearl like a ton of bricks. Firing Silas and him resigning were two different matters. She finally understood why she had been feeling uneasy.

"That's fine if he quits. Has he already left?" she asked.

Wayne nodded. "Yes."

"It's not a huge problem. We can find replacements quickly," Pearl reassured.

Wayne couldn't comprehend why she would let go of their most profitable employee. Then, Richard approached, and everything became clear. He must have been behind all this.

Wayne frowned at Richard, then shook his head and walked away without saying a word.

Richard frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Pearl, understanding Wayne's unspoken thoughts after spending so much time with him, decided not to reveal anything to Richard. It was better to avoid potential conflicts.

"He might not be in the best mood. Don't worry about it. Let's go to my office." Pearl then led Richard away before he could object.
