In the evening, Pearl showed up alone at Lawson Enterprises as promised.
Since it was after work hours, hardly anyone was left in the building. As Pearl walked in, she encountered only the security guard at the entrance.
When the security guard saw her coming alone, he asked curiously, "Miss, it's after hours now, and there's no one inside. Who are you looking for?"
Pearl smiled at him and replied, "I'm here to meet someone."
Perplexed by her response, the guard scratched his head. "That's strange. Well, young lady, make sure to leave when you're done. It's not safe at night, especially for a young woman like you."
Pearl was confident in her ability to protect herself but appreciated the guard's concern. She just smiled at him and walked in.
Interestingly, Lorrie arranged to meet her not in the office but on the rooftop.
Once in the elevator, Pearl couldn't stop thinking about Lorrie's intentions in inviting her. As the elevator doors opened, the strong wind on the rooftop brought her to her senses. The place was decorated like a small villa, and Lorrie sat at a table with two glasses of wine.
Seeing Pearl approach, Lorrie greeted her warmly. "You're here early. How punctual."
Pearl sat across from her with a blank expression, skipping the wine. She went straight to the point, "So what's the purpose of inviting me here today?"
