“Don’t be so nosy…” Helplessly, Pearl rolled her eyes, but she could only sit down because she was not as strong as Richard
Seeing that, Raymond returned to his own seat as well.
Before long, the plane landed at Mosvil. Richard got off the plane with Pearl and went their separate ways with Raymond.
“It just occurred to me that I never asked that guy for his name.”
Richard asked coldly, “Why? You want to know his name?”
Pearl, sensing the change in his tone, added, “Well, he was my comrade, and I’m naturally curious about his identity.”
“Well, to hell with that!‘ Richard turned away and stopped talking to Pearl.
Тор
Pearl’s surprise, she bumped into Raymond again when she tried to check in at the hotel.
“You’re staying here too? What a coincidence!”
Upon spotting Richard and Pearl approaching, Raymond greeted them with a bright smile. “Looks like we’ll be temporary neighbors.”
Pearl asked curiously, “Sir, I don’t even know your name yet.”
Raymond laughed. “I’m Raymond York.”
Raymond York?
Pearl had heard of him. He was the president of NK Group, a company that had become famous overnight and had since established a significant presence across various industries.
Despite his company’s success, Raymond maintained a low profile and rarely appeared in public.
Although Pearl was surprised by his identity, she introduced herself, “I’m Pearl Leighton, and this is Richard Waldorf-”
“Yeah, I know. You’re quite famous, Miss Pearl I’ve seen you on the news.” Raymond turned and flashed Richard a smile. I’ve heard so much about you, Mister Richard.” He extended his hand to shake hands with Richard.
However, Richard fixed his gaze on Raymond for a long while before he gave the latter a firm handshake.
“I’m heading to my room now.” Raymond faced Richard’s hostility with boldness and amusement.
After he left, Pearl asked, “Do you have a problem with him, Richard?”
Richard answered coldly, “No, I don’t.”
“But why do you look like you hate him?”
Richard stared at her with a gloomy expression but offered no explanation. Instead, he simply said, “Let’s go to our rooms and rest. We need to negotiate a deal at eight o’clock tonight.”
“Okay,” Pearl agreed half–heartedly. Suddenly, she recalled something and asked, “Do you know why our flight experienced problems, Richard?”
“Was it due to foul play?”
Shocked, Pearl exclaimed, “How did you know?”
Richard sounded composed. “I know a bit of flight principles, and it didn’t look like a typical accident.”
“Do you think it was Brandon or Lawson Enterprises‘ doing?” After thinking for a moment, Pearl couldn’t think of anyone else harboring such animosity towards both her and Richard.
After a pause, Richard said slowly, “It wasn’t them ”
