Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251 

Clem quickly answered the phone and made his way downstairs. He appeared to be in a hurry, walking and talking on the phone simultaneously. While his voice wasn’t raised, it lacked warmth. 

“I’ve already told you, if he’s up for it, let him do it. If not, send him packing. No need to complain about how tired he is. He’s not the only one in this company working hard. He’s just another artist, not some priceless A-lister. There’s no reason for him to be lazy Oh, by the way, the newbie looks promising Keep an eye on them.” 

Clem ended the call upon spotting Pearl and flashed a mischievous yet sophisticated smile. “Hey, Pearl” 

He didn’t say anything, but Pearl could tell he was looking forward to seeing some drama. Did serious people always have a lot of time on their hands? 

“Hello, Mister Clem Can you help guide this artist here? Can you be his personal manager?” 

Given that Pearl had offered him a job and saved his wife’s life, Clem should be willing to oblige. However, he appraised Hanzel from head to toe, wearing an enigmatic expression. “Hanzel Waldorf?” 

Hanzel nodded politely. “Hello, Mister Clem.” 

“I’m rather strict when it comes to managing people. Even if you’re a superstar out there, you’ll have to start from the bottom under my watch. I may not appear strict, but I assure you, I can turn your life into a nightmare. Do you believe you can handle that?” 

Pearl couldn’t believe what she heard. He didn’t look very strict. That was a joke. 

Hanzel smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, I can handle it.” 

“Good. Come with me to the training room, and I’ll give you a test,” Clem said before turning to Pearl with a smile. “I’ll be taking him now. If he turns out to be a good one, I’ll buy you dinner.” 

Pearl raised her chin. “Sure.” 

After Clem left with Hanzel, the acting president finally returned to his usual self. 

“Miss Pearl, Why wouldn’t you tell anyone you’re the real president of the company?” It was a question that had perplexed 

many. 

Pearl pursed her l*ps, about to offer an explanation, but someone interrupted her. 

“Pearl.” 

Turning around, Pearl saw Richard approaching, causing her heart to sink slightly. “Yes?” 

Richard approached her and handed her a box of cupcakes. “I finished up some work at the office and came to pick you up.” 

“Ah, this is Mister Richard. I’ve heard a lot about your work, and it seems you’re exactly as people describe you.” The acting president was obviously a bootlicker, so when he found out Pearl and Richard had a close relationship, complimenting Richard would mean giving a compliment to Pearl too. It was killing two birds with one stone. 

However, his efforts were in vain, as Richard was numb to flattery and was even annoyed. Richard had observed from a distance that this man was standing very close to Pearl while talking to her, and his smile was creepy.
