Wayne had left, and Pearl, with a sharp look in her eyes, quickly thought of a plan. She knewexactly who she needed to team up with.

Pearl reached out to the head of Steward Group, suggesting they have dinner together in threedays. Before, this man had always been polite, but for some reason, he suddenly acted all high andmighty, making her wait three days before agreeing to meet.
But Pearl was fine with it; she just went along with it and rescheduled for three days later.
When the dinner date arrived, Pearl didn’t hurry. She showed up half an hour late on purpose.
She walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted the middle-aged man waiting. She couldn'thelp but feel a mix of disdain and disgust.
"Miss Pearl, making a big entrance, I see. You call me here and then show up late," he said.
Pearl forced a calm smile, hiding her inner revulsion. She sat down casually. "Mister Jonathan, howcan you say that? You took three days to even accept my invitation. I'd say I'm pretty on timecompared to that," she replied, her words dripping with sarcasm.
Jonathan's chubby face darkened, his annoyance clear. "Miss Pearl, as your business partner, Idon't think you should talk like that," he said, taken aback.
"Business partner? Mister Jonathan, it seems you remember our agreement after all," Pearl shotback.
"What do you mean by that? If this is how it's going to be, then forget it," he said, standing upangrily.
"Wait, Mister Jonathan. We're not done here." Pearl calmly pulled out a contract and tossed it on thetable. "You want to terminate the contract, right?"
"Yes." Jonathan glanced at the contract, his interest piqued. "Your company's plans don't align withour direction anymore. The board and I have decided to move on."
Pearl covered her lips and smiled slyly. "Is that the board's decision, or just your personal issue?"
Jonathan faltered, caught off guard by her question. "Miss Pearl, I don't have any problems withyou. Why accuse me of such things?"
"If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about," Pearl countered.
"I've done nothing wrong. Your accusations are baseless," Jonathan said, fixing his tie and trying tomaintain his composure.
"If you refuse to admit the truth, it'll only be more embarrassing for you when I reveal it," Pearlwarned.
Jonathan turned and sneered. "You need proof for accusations, Miss Pearl. Do you have any?You're just fishing for a reaction. I haven’t done anything wrong."
"Naturally, I have evidence." Pearl clicked her tongue and pulled out another document from herbag.
Jonathan's confidence wavered at the sight of the familiar cover. He panicked when he took a closerlook. How did Pearl get this document?novelbin
