Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 84

After hanging up, Adriana's wicked voice still echoed in Pearl's ears. She was totally different from the one whom Pearl had used to know. 

Pearl soon received the address. It was a restaurant in the Westfield District.

Pearl stared at it for a while before driving towards it. 

On the way to the restaurant, Pearl's arm, which was holding the steering wheel, could not loosen up the whole time. Her back was also stiff. She just couldn't make herself relax. 

Had she not left Kityall for seven years, she would never know that her best friend had feelings for Richard. It was the only person in the university she had ever told about her relationship with Richard. 

Even though Pearl knew Adriana and Richard started their relationship after she had broken up with Richard, she still felt uncomfortable. She found it hard to accept the fact that her best friend had now become Richard's girlfriend. To her, this was like cheating.

Pearl arrived at the restaurant after half an hour. 

The place was very high-class. After telling the waiter her name, she was led up towards a private room on the second floor.

Adriana had already been here.

She was dressed in yellow, looking through the window beside her table. Even from afar, she was brimming with elegance as she slowly sipped from her cup of tea. Men were quick to pity women whose faces were like hers.

The waiter pulled out a chair for Pearl, "This is the menu, Miss."

"Thanks." Pearl sat down.

Adriana, whose attention was on something outside the window, finally turned her head to face Pearl. She put down her cup before greeting Pearl, "Oh, Pearl, you're here! Was there any traffic on your way here just now?"

Pearl's face darkened. "Let's get to the point. What do you want?"

Adriana smiled, "Pearl! You're still that impatient."

"Well, as least you've changed a lot."

"No, I haven't. But if you really meant that, then it only shows that you've never known me well." Adriana scanned through the menu, "Isn't this our first meal after you came back? Maybe you have things that you would like to ask me?"

"Really? What do you think I want to ask you about?"

"Oh umm... How about the reason I'm with Richard?" Adriana shot a gaze at Pearl, "Tell me, Pearl. Do you hate me?"

Pearl clenched her fists tightly, but her expression was still indifferent. "Why should I? Richard and I have already broken up."

"Wonderful. I thought you hated me and wanted to revenge on me." Adriana smiled again. 

"What do you mean by that?"

Adriana handed her phone to Pearl, which was displaying a photo.  Pearl's face froze the moment she saw it.

"Recognise it?" Adriana sounded gloomily.

Of course, Pearl recognised it the photo. 

A week ago, She and Richard took her children to the zoo. The photo was taken at the Tiger World.

"I know you're gonna say it's nothing, and there was nothing happened between you two. It's just a photo. Even if you two are not in love anymore, you're still classmates once before."
