Pearl sighed. “You don’t get it, Mobius…”
Mobius cut her off. “I’m just two years younger than you, and I know my brother. He may sound cold,
but he
cares for you a lot.”
“I’ve decided to move out. There’s no need to say anything more.”
Mobius was shocked. “Move out? Why?”
Pearl explained, “Just like you said. My relationship with your brother has become strained. Spending
time together would just feel awkward.”

Pearl immediately refuted, “No.”
Mobius chuckled. “Then why are you avoiding him? The Pearl I know would never back down when
facing someone she doesn’t like.”
Pearl froze, unsure of what to say.
“Just admit that you like him. I can tell my brother has feelings for you too.”
Mobius made it really clear, leaving Pearl with no reason to deny it, so she fell silent.
After some thinking, she returned to the office. As soon as she arrived, she saw someone familiar.
Abby?
Pearl frowned and was going to leave, but Abby saw her and walked over with a smile on her face.
“Pearl! It’s been a hot minute.”
Pearl wanted to avoid her, so she sounded cold. “Yes, it has. I thought you were still in jail.”
The old Abby would be enraged when she heard that, but she just smiled instead. “Thanks for your
concern. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, so I came back to ask for your forgiveness.”
“I hope that’s true.” Pearl knew this woman wasn’t simple, so she didn’t believe her.
“How about I treat you to lunch today as an apology?”
Pearl immediately declined. “No thanks. I have work to do.”
Abby looked disappointed. “You won’t give me a chance because you’re being cautious. I’ve turned
over a new leaf, Pearl. Can’t you forgive me?”
Her pitiful look attracted sympathy from those around them..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“All Abby did was love someone too much. That’s such a shame.”
“She acknowledges her mistakes and is trying to change. Pearl is a little harsh.”
“Shh, don’t let Miss Pearl hear you, or you’re going to get it.”
Pearl overheard their whispers and looked at Abby’s sad expression, realizing Abby was trying to gain
sympathy so everyone would feel sorry for her.
A few months in jail really changed her.
“What do you want to have for lunch?”
Abby immediately smiled. “You’re so nice. I also invited Rick later, so the three of us can decide where
to eat.”
Pearl’s heart dropped when she heard Richard would be there too, but Abby strutted into the office in
her high heels before Pearl could change her mind again.
Left with no choice, Pearl prepared herself for the lunch meeting with Abby and Richard.
Richard had a meeting, so Pearl and Abby waited for him at the door.
