Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 

“It’s not about worry, it’s about care. Except for me, any other man isn’t a good one,” Richard remarked. 

Pearl was left speechless. 

Just then, Derrick approached. Pearl swiftly distanced herself from Richard and greeted Derrick with a charming smile. “Mister Derrick, hello.” 

Today, Pearl exuded elegance in a white dress paired with high heels, showcasing her figure flawlessly. 

Derrick was captivated, finding her allure far surpassing women covered in makeup. 

“Hi, what are we having today?” he asked. 

“I wasn’t too sure about your taste, so I picked a local restaurant. I hope it won’t disappoint you,” Pearl said, a touch of concern in her tone. 

“It sounds good already.” Derrick glanced at the menu, noting the pricey dishes. He silently applauded Pearl’s savvy choice. 

After selecting a few dishes, they began chatting. 

“Mister Derrick, aren’t you working today?” Pearl feigned a mistake, chuckling apologetically. “Sorry, I forgot today’s the weekend.” 

Who wouldn’t appreciate a charmingly naive person? Derrick was no exception. “It’s alright. Even if it were a workday, I’d come if you invited me.” 

“Isn’t your job usually demanding?” Pearl furrowed her brows. Wary of Derrick’s intentions, she tried to stick to the point. 

“Not really. Just accounting and calculations. It’s rather relaxed,” Derrick replied. 

Observing his eagerness to talk about the topic, Pearl gently prodded, “You must be quite familiar with Lawson Enterprises’s financial records, then?” 

“Of course. I manage them so I know everything about it,” Derrick boasted, keen on impressing Pearl. 

Resting her chin on her hand, Pearl’s face revealed a trace of anticipation and subtle admiration. “That’s impressive. I studied accounting too, but I always struggle with maintaining records. I often get scolded by my boss.” 

“Don’t worry. If you have any difficulties, I’d love to help and teach you,” Derrick said, extending his hand to comfort Pearl. 

“Really?” Pearl instinctively moved away, her enthusiasm dimming. “But I’m quite slow. Can you let me see Lawson Enterprises’s records and teach me step by step?” 

“Sure, no problem!” At first, Derrick was hesitant and doubtful when Pearl brought up Lawson Enterprises’ records. However, his mood lifted instantly when she requested to be taught step by step. 

“Thank you.” Pearl flashed a faint smile, seeing Derrick getting way over his head with joy. 

The next day, they met at the same restaurant, and Derrick brought along the records.
