The driver began to wonder if this lady had been dumped, thinking about the hundred–dollar fare he
had received.
As Pearl returned to the Waldorf Residence, darkness had already fallen. All the residents were fast
asleep, except for Richard, whose room still emitted a warm glow of light.
Entering the room, Pearl found it unoccupied. She turned to leave but collided with a solid chest as she
took a step backward.
Looking up, she found Richard standing before her, not looking particularly pleased. He carried the
scent of cigarettes, and Pearl immediately realized what had happened.
“You went to the bar?” she inquired.
Richard nodded and didn’t say anything.
Pearl hesitated before continuing, “You saw everything?”
Still wordless, Richard gazed at her, an unsettling intensity in his eyes that made her skin crawl.
“I’m going to take a shower. Wait for me here,” he instructed calmly, then walked into the bathroom. novelbin
The sound of running water filled the air, and Pearl slowly made her way to Richard’s bed, where she
took a seat, her heart pounding.
She couldn’t help but notice that Richard was clearly upset. She wasn’t sure how to explain, and even if
she did, it might be futile because he might not listen.
Sitting on the bed, she braced herself for whatever punishment Richard had in store.
The sound of splashing water ceased after a while. The bathroom door opened, and Richard emerged,
clad in a bathrobe.
Pearl’s eyes followed a single water droplet as it traveled down his face, traced a path over his abs,
and eventually disappeared into the unknown.
“Are you seducing me?” Pearl gulped, her face breaking into a silly smile.
Richard seemed to find her expression amusing. He took a few steps closer and tilted her chin up.
“Who do you think looks better, him or me?”
Pearl didn’t even have to think about it. “You, of course.”
Richard nodded and smiled. “Good, you get a kiss as a reward.” He leaned down and planted a kiss on
her lips.

“Richard “Pearl started to speak, but he didn’t stop. Instead, he deepened the kiss as if he wanted to
devour her lips.
Pearl found it difficult to breathe, so she thumped lightly at his chest. “Enough, Richard. Stop it.”
Her protest seemed to awaken an underlying anger within Richard. “You met another man behind my
back, didn’t you?”

“He’s just a friend. I went to welcome him back, and we didn’t meet alone. There were others with us.”
“What about the dancing?”
“I lost a game,” Pearl explained, lowering her head innocently, as if she were a child awaiting
punishment.
“How should I punish you?” Richard’s lips brushed against her neck as he playfully nibbled at the
ribbon around it. He chuckled and continued, “Not only will I punish you, but I’ll also make sure to
thoroughly torment you.”
He nibbled at her neck, leaving a red mark, and Pearl began to tremble, feeling a tingling sensation
spreading through her neck.
