Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 128

Only Abby knew if she really was concerned about Pearl.

Pearl cast a cold glance at Abby before heading to her desk. Her desk, which had previously been cluttered with stacks of work, was now empty. She furrowed her brows and asked a colleague sitting nearby, “Where are my files?”

She worked really hard to get all those files, and many of the documents were only partially completed. Why were they missing?

Her colleague looked at Pearl and explained, “Abby took them because you’ve been absent for a while. She helped you finish all the work.”

Did Abby intend to take credit for work that Pearl had already completed? This infuriated Pearl. She took a deep breath, preparing to confront Abby, but Abby beat her to it.

“What did you do?”

“Calm down. I finished all the work, but it’s for your own good. I’m sure you don’t want the company’s work to be delayed because of your absence. Since I didn’t know when you’d return, I didn’t want to risk delaying our progress. I didn’t think you’d want that responsibility.”
