Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 724

Winoa was elated by the effect of her actions. She believed that if she persisted, Richard would eventually give her a chance.

She clearly heard Pearl reaching out to him and being rejected. That was amusing. That woman should have valued him more instead of trying to come back to him later. Richard must be feeling disgusted by her now!

Her confidence grew as she imagined herself becoming Mrs. Waldorf, and a smile that she couldn't hide spread across her face.

Richard noticed her expression and asked, "Did you remember something happy, smiling so widely?"

Winona's heart skipped a beat as she saw Richard's handsome face with a rare smile. He even asked about her, which was rare. She replied, "Yes, I did."

Richard, still smiling, subtly pushed her hands away from his shoulders. "It's better to be happy. I have work to finish so I can't spend time with you now. Why don't you go back, and I'll call you when I'm free?"

Winona was a little disappointed, but she decided not to push her luck further after the progress she had made today. She didn't want to risk making Richard angry.

"Take care of yourself. I'm going to head out," she said, pressing down on her racing heart and leaving the scene.

As she departed, Richard frowned, took out a napkin, wiped his shoulders, and threw it into the bin with a look of disgust.

Meanwhile, Pearl was in turmoil, uncertain about what to do next. She paced around angrily, and Silas inquired, "Why are you so anxious?"
