Silas removed his apron and threw it to the floor. "Sure, I'll leave. I hope you're happy and not ledaround in circles." His smile faded, and he slammed the door as he left.
Watching him go, Pearl had a bad feeling.
Richard's voice came from behind. "Feeling reluctant?"
"No, there's nothing between us…"
Richard raised an eyebrow as his anger subsided. He knew Pearl wasn't interested in him; it wasone-sided. Yet seeing Silas's persistence toward Pearl made him uncomfortable.
Finally managing to chase him off, Richard spoke sternly. "Don't let him stay over anymore."
Pearl saw the anger in his expression but couldn't help but laugh, wrapping her arms around hisneck. "Don't worry, I won't."
Realizing she still didn't know why he was there, she asked, "What brought you here?"
"I can't visit because I miss you?"
Pearl immediately blushed at his words. "I never thought you were the flirty type."
Richard took her hand, his eyes sincere. "What, you don't like it?"
"I'm not used to this sudden change," she admitted. She had been the one taking the lead before,so the change felt strange.
Richard didn't reveal the real reason for his visit. He had received news from his assistant that theperson trailing Silas found him drunk at a bar, heading to a familiar location alone.
Based on the description, Richard realized it was Pearl's home. Silas would wait at her home everynight in the past month. This angered him, leading him to drive over to warn Pearl to stay away fromSilas, but he caught them together instead.
"If you have any more contact with him, I'll make him disappear from Enswood forever."
Pearl nodded, knowing he wasn't joking. "I promised to stay away from him, and I will. You don'thave to worry."novelbin
Richard pondered for a moment before bringing up another matter. "Is he an influencer in yourcompany?"
Pearl nodded. "He's one of the best ones."
Richard immediately ordered, "Fire him."
