Katie’s words amused Pearl. “I have nothing to do with Richard, Why are
you suresi meddle in his relationship with
someone else?”

“You’re very perceptive, Miss Pearl, but I have my judgment.” Katie smoothed her hair. “I can see your feelings for Richard, or else I wouldn’t have come to you.”
Looking cold, Pearl assured her, “I’ll never be involved with Richard.”
“I hope so. My flight is tomorrow at eight in the morning, but I want to remind you that my sister will be ba

Calmly, Richard explained, “It was Dad’s idea. He’s afraid something might happen to you.”
Pearl was inexplicably uneasy after hearing his explanation. “Don’t worry about me. I’m
