Chapter 21
Emily could scold Pearl, but
if it involved the Waldorfs… When she thought of the Waldorfs‘ power, she shuddered in fear.
Pearl did not want to dwell on the past with this old classmate, so she lowered her gaze. “I’m glad you
understand. Now, you’re disturbing my work, Miss Emily ”
This statement was the final blow for Emily. Her face turned livid as she gaped, but she could not refute
Pearl. She straightened up and said fiercely, “Why you… You may be engaged to the Waldorfs and ar
e under their protection, but you’ll still be fired sooner or later if you prove useless since this is a place

aguely exposed bosom made it hard for him to look at her directly.
Richard averted his gaze and looked at the proposal on the table. “Fine, I’ll look at it.”
He read it through briefly, and his eyes gradually lit up. Pearl’s idea was unconventional and unexpecte
d, making full use of many skills to achieve success. It just so happened that he had the same views as
her in some aspects.
When he was done, he looked up and asked, “Is this the task Emily assigned to you?
“Mm–hm.” Pearl nodded and smiled.
Richard told his secretary to call Emily to his office. When Emily saw Pearl there, she glared at the latte
r before asking cautiously, “What can I do for you, Mister Richard?”
Richard asked coldly, “You gave this task to a new employee?”
Emily trembled “Mister Richard, I…..”
“This is the most important proposal of this season, and you gave it to a new employee. You’re just mish
Richard was not quick to anger, but today, Emily trembled in fear when she heard the chill in his voice.
“Deduct two months‘ salary from her pay.”
Emily became furious but did not dare to express it. She cursed Pearl in her heart and yearned to slap t
After Emily left, Richard looked toward Pearl.
“You differentiate between reward and punishment well, Mister Richard.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Pearl was not fully satisfied with this result but at least she managed to teach Emily a lesson.
Richard looked at her grinning face while his thoughts ran a mile an hour. As expected, she had not let h
