After she left, the doctor took out a phone from his pocket, hands trembling, and replied, "I'm sure you've heard what you wanted to..." * Back home, Pearl took the test.
When two red lines appeared, her heart sank. She was pregnant.
She wasn't ready to be a mom, so this caught her by surprise. Her first reaction was to call Richard, but then Richard cback.
Watching him quickly walk into the living room, Pearl's heart raced.
"Richard, I'm..." She couldn't bring herself to say the word 'pregnant.' But seeing Richard's troubled expression, Pearl decided not to burden him and asked, "What's wrong?" "Just sissues with the company," Richard said, massaging his temples to ease his headache. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Knowing Richard's usual calm demeanor, his reaction indicated a serious problem. Pearl asked, "What happened? Maybe I can help you." "Silas. He leaked all our company's information to Lawson Enterprises. They beat us to developing our concepts and designs." Pearl was enraged. "Silas needs to be put in his place!"

I just believe he's not inherently bad, just manipulated." "Are you doing this because you like the him?" Richard's frustration with situation led him to question Pearl's intentions. Pearl felt hurt by Richard's suspicion. "That's who I am to you?" Realizing his mistake, Richard tried to clarify, "That's not what I mean." Pearl scoffed. "Do you really think I have feelings for him?"
