At spoint, he dozed off. When he woke up, he found a woman's coat draped over his body.
With a curious smile, Pearl looked at him in a daze. "What are you looking at?" Stunned, Richard didn't expect Pearl to wake up so early, let alone drape a coat over him.

"Are you going to act recklessly again?" Richard knew she wouldn't learn unless she faced consequences.

Pearl asked tentatively, "So, are we okay now?" "No, I need to make sure you take it seriously Richard thought carefully. "You'll move to Waldorf Residence withstarting today, for your safety and to prevent any more reckless behavior." Pearl's smile faded. "That's not ideal. There are so many people there."
