Female Novel
Chapter 804
Pearl spotted a car parked by the road with its engine running. She approached it in the rain andsaid, "Hello, I'm so sorry for bothering you. Can I—"
She looked up and met the intense gaze of the person inside the car before she could finishspeaking. It left her stunned.
By that time, the rain had soaked half of her body, and her hair was a mess, making her look quiteawkward. Standing in front of Richard was undeniably humiliating.
She abandoned the words she had intended to say.
"Go on. What's the matter?" Richard asked indifferently, showing no signs of surprise.
"Nothing. I got the wrong guy." With that, she turned and got back into her car.
Bumping into Richard was unfortunate. Knowing his personality, he would never agree to give her aride, so it was wiser to retreat to her car instead of enduring humiliation in the rain. She woulddecide what to do once the rain stopped.
But suddenly, the rain intensified, causing Pearl to feel anxious. She wondered when the rain wouldstop.
While lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps in the rain outside her car.
Knock, knock... Someone gently tapped on her car window.
Pearl lowered her window and saw Richard standing in the rain, holding a black umbrella. Helooked cold and distant.
His face was barely visible through the hazy rain, but his voice was clear. "No umbrella, I see."
Pearl laughed dryly. "Mister Richard, you could be a rapper with that statement."
Richard tightened his grip on the umbrella. "Stop joking in this situation."
For some reason, despite his usual aloofness, Pearl sensed his concern. It was strange, but maybethe rain was playing tricks on her mind.
Nevertheless, she remained cautious. "Did you knock on my window just to mock me about nothaving an umbrella, Mister Richard?" She wouldn't put it past him to do so at this moment.
Richard sounded icy. "Am I really that heartless?"
Pearl smiled and cursed inwardly. She wondered if he had any f*cking idea just how heartless hecould be. But she couldn't say that aloud because she could tell that Richard wanted to offer her aride.
"Of course not. You appeared like a savior to me. Mister Richard, would you be so kind as to giveme a ride back?" She tried to be polite, but her sarcasm still seeped through as she made herrequest.
"Is that how you ask for help?" Richard remained unmoved.
"Forget it. I know you won't agree no matter what I say." Deflated, Pearl leaned against the driver'sseat and pouted in frustration.
"Yeah, I'm just here to give you an umbrella. You can go back while holding it."
Pearl wasn't surprised. She knew he wouldn't show pity for the fairer sex. She rolled her eyesinwardly.
"You should head back, Mister Richard. If I go back in this heavy rain, I'll be completely drenched."Then, she tried to roll up her window.novelbin
"Get into my car."
Pearl laughed at his words. "Okay, give me thirty seconds."
