Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 917

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

Pearl reached out to the head of Steward Group, suggesting they have dinner together in three days. Before, this man had always been polite, but for some reason, he suddenly acted all high and mighty, 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't help 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, how can you say that? You took three days to even accept my invitation. I'd say I'm pretty on time compared to that," she replied, her words dripping with sarcasm.

Jonathan's chubby face darkened, his annoyance clear. "Miss Pearl, as your business partner, I don't think you should talk like that," he said, taken aback.

"Business partner? Mister Jonathan, it seems you remember our agreement after all," Pearl shot back.
