Chapter 34
Pearl crossed her arms and stared at him as she smiled.
Richard replied gloomily, “Then I’ll deduct another half a month from your salary.”

At night, Pearl went to the washroom to change. Abby followed her into the washroom on the pretense of touching up her makeup.
Abby, wearing a light pink dress that enhanced her adorable qualities, dropped her act and glanced at Pearl. Her hatred grew worse. “I’m warning you, Pearl. Don’t dream of snatching Richard’s heart, or I will make you pay.”
Calmly, Pearl smoothed her bangs. “You have no say in what I want, do you?”
Her stubbornness made Abby want to rip to shreds. “I grew up with Rick. No one can get in between us. You best stop or you’ll regret it.
Pearl shook her head. “Ha! He didn’t fall in love with you even though you two grew up together. How pitiful.”

When Pearl opened the box to change into the dress, she found that someone had cut it up and ruined it. She had no choice but to throw it into the dustbin. However, she found the washroom had been locked from the outside as she tried to leave to go and buy a new dress. Her phone just so happened to be out of juice as well.
