Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

In an act of protecting Pearl, Richard sneered. “Waldorf Enterprises doesn’t need your company.”

“We’ll see about that.” Chet glared at Richard fiercely and stormed off.

Pearl had not expected Richard to step forward. She asked as she smiled, “Were you defending me?”

Richard was moved by her smile, but he quickly looked away. “I couldn’t stand him taking liberties with

my employee.”

Seeing his indifference, Pearl stopped teasing him, “What should we do now? Lawson Enterprises won

’t work with us anymore. This is going to be an issue.”

“I have a Plan B. Lawson Enterprises is a small fry and can’t do anything to us.”

Pearl was curious. “What’s your plan?”

“I’ve decided to work with a foreign company. It will be a little more expensive, but Walford Enterprises

can afford it.”

“Why don’t you work with Cerubleu instead?”

After a pause, Richard replied, “Cerubleu has always been mysterious, and the projects they take on ar

e completely dependent on their president’s mood. We may waste a

lot of time trying to get an appointment.”

Waste a lot of time?

Richard had given up after Pearl refused to meet him once. It was outrageous.

Scoffing, Pearl suggested, “I’ll handle it. I’ll get us a meeting with their president tomorrow.”

“You can do that?” Richard turned his deep–set eyes to her.

Pearl was prepared with a logical explanation. “There’s a fierce battle between Lawson Enterprises and

Cerubleu. If we cooperate with Cerubleu, we can expand our market, help Cerubleu’s development, an

d bring down Lawson Enterprises. Don’t worry. I’m sure Cerubleu won’t turn down such a win–

win situation.”

Richard agreed after recalling Pearl’s relationship with Wayne.

“I’ll contact their president later.” Pearl turned and left.

People assumed that Waldorf Enterprises would take a brief nosedive after failing to reach cooperation

with Lawson Enterprises. But then came a piece of unexpected news that Waldorf Enterprises would b

e cooperating with Cerubleu. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

With Pearl’s help, the cooperation was confirmed within two days. The manufacture of the jewelry piece

s would start in a week

Pearl held a presale before the official mass production to see if the responses from the customers wer

e good. In ten minutes, Richard summoned Pearl to his office.

“The jewelry was sold out in five minutes,” Richard said as he stared at her.

Surprised, Pearl asked, “Really?”

“Yeah, and a lot of people commented on our official website asking for an official sale.”

Pearl scrolled through social media and saw the top hot searches were about the new Waldorf Enterpris

(Oh, what amazing jewelry!!

(It’s more

that. These new products surpassed all the other jewelry of the same style.]

(1 still think Angel’s designs are the best, but Waldorf Enterprises‘ jewelry is remarkable too.]

(Angel’s designs are one–of–a–

kind. It’s hard to find someone similar to her style and does such a good job at it stom

for too much.]

The comments were endless, and Pearl was amazed as she scrolled through them.
