Chapter 37
Pearl grinned from ear to ear while watching Abby flare up in a rage.
Abby, having long lost her sanity, started rambling, “Nonsense! Rick was drugged! How could he have consented to sleep with you?!”
Cocking a brow, Pearl knew that it was Abby who had drugged Richard.
“I never said he was drugged. How did you know, Abby?” There was a glint of mockery in Pearl’s eyes. “Don’t tell me you were the one who drugged him.”
Abby realized that Pearl had tricked her. After looking around to confirm that they were alone, she threatened, “I’m warning you. Don’t you dare take my Rick, or you’ll pay for it. He’s mine.”
“You overestimate yourself, Abby. I’m eager to see if you’ll succeed.” Pearl stretched lazily and returned to her seat, ignoring the madwoman.
Pearl took a cab after work as she did not want to go home with Richard.
During dinner, Hanzel casually mentioned his plan to shoot a music video for his new song the next day. Dustan suggested he took Pearl along. He thought it a good chance for Hanzel to spend some time with Pearl.
“Wouldn’t she bring trouble, Dad?”
Hanzel Labeled Pearl as trouble after she had been kidnapped once.
Hearing this, Pearl purposely went against him. “Okay, I’ll tag along.”
Enraged, Hanzel shot daggers at her.
Pearl went to the set with Hanzel early the next morning.
Hanzel’s new song was a slow and romantic song in line with today’s standards. Pearl knew that it would be popular after listening to the prelude. She gave an objective suggestion, “The song is nice, but it’ll be better if you lower the key of the last part and sing it with more feelings.”
Flabbergasted, Hanzel wondered inwardly, ‘She’s good at music too?”
His surprise made Pearl smile but the latter stopped talking.
Naturally, the music video for a romantic song needed to feature a couple, but the actress playing the role was late and nowhere to be seen. The director called the actress and learned that she had gotten into a car accident and would not be attending the shoot.
The stressed–out director had no idea where to find another pretty and youthful woman. He had carefully picked that actress. He knew that he could not find a suitable candidate in such a short time.
Hanzel suddenly approached the director and beamed, “Sir, I have a suitable candidate.
He pointed at Pearl, who was enjoying the breeze.
The b
breeze lifted Pearl’s hair, making her look like a young beauty from a painting in her simple white dress.
The director’s eyes sparkled with joy. “She’s even better!” He made his wish known to Pearl and gained her consent,
Pearl found it hard to refuse given Hanzel’s role in the affair.
The makeup and shooting ended quickly as Pearl was charming and had outstanding acting skills.
“Why don’t you sing the song with me for the recording? I’m sure the song will be better with you in it because you’re the heroine of the music video.”
After contemplating it briefly, Pearl nodded in agreement as she found it hard to reject his sincerity.
Hanzel’s new song, Sweet Tea, became a hit on its launch day and topped the charts. Many netizens praised the female singer’s melodious voice but there were some naysayers.
[Her singing style is exactly like Nancie’s. I’m sure she copied Nancie!]
