Pearl froze, and before she could react, Richard left.

Her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Hanzel’s name and promptly answered the

call.

She heard Hanzel’s cheerful, deep voice. “Pearl, do you have any plans after work? Can you come to

my concert if you’re free?”

Pearl nodded. “Sure, I’ll be there soon.”

The concert venue was packed, and she had to squeeze her way to the front row. After listening for a

while, Richard still hadn’t shown up, but she was enjoying the performance a lot and was savoring the

moment.

Hanzel was quite a good singer and had improved a lot since before.

“To thank you for your support, we’ve randomly selected a guest to receive a mystery gift from me.”

The stage lights immediately focused on her. There was no escape, and everyone’s eyes were on her.

Hanzel smiled at her. “It’s Miss Pearl. Could you come to the stage to receive the gift please?”

Pearl reluctantly made her way to the stage, sensing trouble ahead when she saw he was watching her

with adoration in his eyes.

“My mystery gift is… a kiss!”

Hanzel’s thousands of fans collectively screamed with excitement after he made the announcement.

“Why didn’t he pick me?”

“I want a kiss from him too!”

“He’s never kissed a girl before. Is this his first kiss?”

Pearl looked at Hanzel with an awkward expression. “This… isn’t a good idea.”

Hanzel moved his microphone aside and whispered to her, “I had no choice. It was the company’s

request, not mine.”

The company had only asked for a hug. He had decided to go for the kiss but didn’t plan to reveal that

to her.

Hanzel smiled and leaned in. “Pearl, this is my first on-screen kiss. Enjoy the moment.”

Pearl stood awkwardly as he leaned closer and cupped her face. She couldn’t escape, so she closed

her eyes, anticipating the kiss. However, the kiss she expected never came.

Instead, a kiss gently touched her forehead.

“Ahhhhhhh! He’s so gentle!”

“So glad it wasn’t on the lips, or I might die of heartbreak!”

“That’s so sweet I could die!”

Hanzel had managed to control his impulses at the last moment and kissed her on the forehead

instead. He knew he couldn’t rush things, or Pearl might become upset and hate him.

Pearl opened her eyes and saw Hanzel smiling at her, feeling relieved that it hadn’t gone further. She

slowly returned to reality, only to notice a pair of intense eyes glaring at her.

She turned to see Richard standing there with a chilling aura, his gaze filled with anger.

When did he get here?

Pearl looked into her eyes, but he abruptly turned and left. She suddenly felt as if she’d been caught

cheating.
