This meal was a real feast.

Aukda the gathering, a few of them chatted about the affairs of the stabile, nasling down the specifics of their collaboration. They agreed to meet the day after must row, owe Mare was out of the hospital, in check home things were progressing at the stable,

With till hellies and surished palmes, Pearl and Mare were seally to call it a night.

Laicas glanced at the stack of greasy dishes and condery in the sink, eyes wide. You’re all taking off alrearly Leaving me with this entire mess?“

Was this even within the realms of lanman behavior?

Pearl named back, giving Lanos a subtle look. “Do you know how much charge for my appearance fre

Lucas blinked, shaking his Iseul. “Nis clue.”

“Shp another zero onto Ikmen’s offer, got it?“.

Lucas pondered momentarily and sighed. Tietty steep, but luxury comes with a price tag. You’re worth every bit of in

He gave her a thumbs up, laying on the charm.

Ignoring his sweet talk, Pearl pressed on. “Did I charge you for the meal we just had?”

Liigas shook his head. “Nope,”

“Well, there you have it, Pearl continued, “If I didn’t charge you, why the fuss over you washing a few dishes! Dul 1 inconvenience your

Lucas was left momentarily speechless.

It seemed pretty logical,

Lucas nodded toward Mare and quipped, “So why isn’t he sticking around to help with the dishes!”

Mare raised an eyebrow and retorted, “I’m nursing a serious injury. Do you expect me to do dish duty?”

Lucas was momentarily lost for words, his frustration evident as he shot a glance toward Mason and Thomas.

Mason and Thomas chimed in without skipping a beat, “We’ll take care of it, no problem.

Pearl stepped in, holding them back, and persisted in questioning Lucas, They pitched in while shopping for groceries. What did you do?”

“Don’t waste time yapping over a couple of dishes. If you’re not keen on eating my e pronto.” Pearl declared, her patience wearing thin, and closed the discussion

g my cooking again, say the word. I have the cleaning crew sort out

Upon hearing this, Lucas immediately said, “Alright, I’ll do the dishes. If you’re up for cooking again, don’t limit it to dishes- Id even handle chicken buschering

What’s the deal with chicken butchering!

Pearl furrowed her brow in puzzlement, and Marc explained from the sidelines, “He’s scared of chickens.

“You’re afraid of chicken? Not only Pearl but also Mason and Thomas stored in disbelief, all shooting wide–eyed looks at Lucas. They chorused. “You’re a special forces, and you’re scared of chickens!”

Locas faced their profound disdain and felt hurt as Ise defended tuselt. “So what if I’m scared of chickens Being human means having fears. right! Is in a crime to be afraid of chicken?”

Marc added another jab, He’s scared of chickens and ducks. Anything with a pointy beak terrifies him.”

Tanas glared at Mart, retosting. Your the one with the big mouth, blabbering on and on!”

A dent glant starsused in Prats eyes, and her lips cuales slightly without a sound.

La gue lingered, and a sense of uncase sented in. Why did her expression feel like it harbored some mist hievous intend?”

Exiting the room, they arrly right the elevator doors as they were about to shut, and then they were swiftly held o

open.

Pearl casually looked up and spotted a woman entering with long flowing hair and a sultry outfit. She wore a sun hat, intentionally casting a sludow over her fare, yet her strikingly alluring features were still easily recognizable.

The A–listerlebrity Donna, was at the peak of her popularity, gracing the big screen and the airport. Her presence was ubiquitous, making it hard not to know who she was.

Upon entering. Donna’s eyes locked onto Mare for a beat before she grinned and chimed, “Hey there, Mr. Males”

However, Mare didn’t respond right away. Instead, a touch of unease crossed his features as he glanced at Pearl.

He couldn’t afford any more misunderstandings, especially after the previous mix–up involving Donna.

Following Marc’s line of sight, Donna’s gaze landed on Pearl. In a split second, their eyes met, and a sudden stiffness gripped her. The smile she wore seemed fruzen, replaced by a noticeable chill

It’s you!”

Donna’s emotion took a sharp shifting rapidly and sending out a clear signal of hostility that was impossible to ignore.

Pearl’s demeanor turned icy, a subtle furrow forming beween hier brows. “Miss Donna, have we crossed paths before?

When it came to women, there was a knack for serving each other’s vibes, helping to figure out if they were allies or adversaries. Yet, Miss Donna gave off an enigmatic vibe, leaving Pearl uncertain whether to classify her as a friend or foe..

Donna seemed to catch herself, realizing her emotions had gotten the best of her. Marc instinctively positioned himself before Pearl. His gaze locked onto her. Donna reined in her emotional outburst and curved her lips into a controlled smile,

The renowned Miss Pearl from the Woolery family, how could I not recognize you? Though I doubt you’re acquainted with me

Pearl echoed her words without missing a beat, The renowned Miss Donna, how could I not know you?”

Upon hearing this, Donna cast another fleeting glance, her eyes revealing a mix of intricate emotions.

Subtly, she assessed Pearl, feeling that Pearl before her didn’t quite match the “Pearl described by others, as if they were two different people.

The elevator plunged rapidly downward, with Mason and Thomas standing quietly on the side, their gazes locked onto Donna. Their faces flushed a deep shade of crimson,

It wasn’t until the elevator doors slid open that Donna turned her head, offering a slight nod before she departed, a smile gracing her lips. In that Instant, Pearl and Marc lifted their hands, snapping their fingers in front of their assistants. “Look again, your eyes are practically popping out

Mason and Thornay’s amention snapped back into the moment, their excitement barely containable

“Wow, that was Donal Never in a million years did I expect to see the real Donna in person, let alone ride an elevator with her. Feels like I’m living in a fantasy

Thomas nodded emphatically, “She’s even more gorgeous in person than on TV. She’s probably the most naturally stunning actress out there.” “Ahvolonely!” Mason couldn’t have agreed more. Back when we were in school, my dom mates downloaded many of her movies. She was a goddess, our fantasy! And she’s still as stunning as ever after all these years

The Goddess remains the Goddess, and the marks that time has etched upon her only deepen her allure, making her even more womanly than before..

“Mine was even more clueless, a real embarrassment”

Mason and Thomas exchanged a sly grin simultaneously, both lowering their heads under the intense gaze of their CEO. They obediently reined in their earlier bravado and gestured for Pearl and Marc to hop into the car,

As Pearl and Marc settled into the vehicle, they couldn’t help but share a subtle uptick of their lips at the sight of their humbled assistants. Their gazes met casually, and an unspoken understanding passed between them, catching them both off guard.

It had eluded them before, but an uncanny understanding always seemed to bridge the gap in some issues, as if their thoughts were telegraphed.

After dropping off their charge at the hospital entrance, Marc didn’t immediately step out of the car. Instead, he subtly shifted, retrieving a ticket from his pocket. With a sincere air, he extended a formal invitation to Pearl.

“Pearl, how about joining me for the Rose Exhibition three days from now!”

Pearl raised her eyes from the radiant ticket in her hand, meeting Marc’s gaze brimming with anticipation and a gleaming excitement. At that instant, her heart fluttered imperceptibly.
