Chapter 877
But when Pearl opened the door, she found someone familiar sitting at her desk.novelbin
Blake Jordan was casually munching on grapes. When he saw them both showing up at the sametime, he couldn't believe it.
"You two got back together so quickly. I thought it would take some time. That's quite the skill,Richard, quite the skill." His words sounded more like they were partners in crime than just friends.
Pearl closed the door and asked, "Do you have some sort of secret arrangement?"
Blake chuckled. "You didn't know how much he cared for you. When something happened to yourcompany before, he pretended not to care and kept a distance. But that night, he flew over toBodgow to see us and asked us to help you get through the situation."
Pearl was stunned; she never imagined that to happen. She turned to look at Richard, who didn'tlook shocked at all.
"Not only that, all the money used to help came from him. I used to wonder why he was being sogenerous, but now it's clear he was trying to win you over." Blake stroked his chin thoughtfully. "As aman trying to win your heart, he's doing a pretty good job. Handsome, wealthy, and clever. Findingsomeone like him isn't easy, so I fully support you two being together."
"Are you trying to sell me out, Blake? Why didn't you tell me about this?" Pearl asked, though therewas a hint of a smile on her lips.
"What would be the point? If I did, Richard's plans would be ruined. I'm just thinking about yourfuture," Blake replied with a mischievous grin, looking like he had made a huge sacrifice worthy ofpraise.
But Pearl just wanted to punch him. "If this happens again and you don't tell me about it, I'm goingto beat you up."
Blake rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Richard gave me enough."
Richard cleared his throat. "It was just a car."
"A discontinued car! Next time, give me a better one, and I'll keep giving you information about her."Blake winked, looking annoyingly pleased with himself.
"Blake Jordan!"
Realizing he might have said too much, Blake hung his head in shame. "Let's keep this between usso Pearl doesn't get mad."
Pearl slammed her hand on the table. "If you keep on with all this bullsh*t, I'm going to kick youback to Bodgow."
"Uh, boring…" Blake grumbled, finally shutting up.
Richard couldn't help but think that exchanging a car for information about Pearl wasn't a bad ideaas he watched them bicker. He had been unsure about Blake before, but now he was starting toappreciate him.
"He's not entirely wrong," he said.
This only annoyed Pearl more. "It's one thing for him to act this way, but why are you going alongwith it?"
"He's telling the truth. We make a good team."
Blake raised his chin and confidently said, "Exactly. You two are the couple I'm rooting for the most,so I won't let anything ruin your relationship."
Pearl sensed something was off. "What do you mean by that?"
Blake glanced around nervously before responding, "Someone just submitted their resignationletter. It sounded bitter, so I replied, 'Good riddance'.
