Chapter 80
Pearl playfully teased Richard, but he suddenly snapped back to reality. After quietly fl*pping through the document for a while, he looked up and asked, “Why did you come back?”
Stunned, Pearl realized that Richard knew that candidate.
“I think your question isn’t related to the interview, Mister Richard.” The woman smoothed her hair and looked indifferent. Maybe you should ask me something related to the job.”
Thud! Richard closed the document with a livid expression. “I know you’re not really here for the interview. Tell me why you came back”
However, the woman covered her mouth while giggling. “Of course, I came back to see you for my elder sister, What do you think… my brother-in–law?”
Brother–in–law?
Confused, Pearl looked at the woman and a sudden crisis dawned on her.
Richard’s breathing seemed unsteady. “Stop it. I’m not your brother–in–law.”
Raising her brows, the woman said, “Fine, it looks like you’ve forgotten about my sister. Very well, I won’t waste your time any longer.”
Speechless, Richard seemed to have lost his cool.
“I’m leaving, and I’ll also tell my sister to forget about you.” The woman got to her feet and was about to leave but Richard stopped her.
“Katie Sullivan, I no longer have anything to do with your sister. We’re only just strangers.”
Katie sneered. “Oh, strangers. My sister did fail to see who you truly are.” After that, she left without turning around.
Besides, Richard might have broken up with his beloved under some force, but both of them still cared about each other.
Pearl’s heart skipped a beat when she witnessed the usually calm Richard lose control that way. Although Richard claimed they were now merely strangers, his actions betrayed his concern.
