Chapter 338

It was six in the evening, the typical end of the workday. Before long, a sleazy, overweight middle-aged

man named Derrick leisurely strolled out of the building, a smile etched across his face.

Capitalizing on the moment, Pearl, carrying her bag, moved forward but accidentally collided with

Derrick. “Ah-”

Due to the impact, Pearl inadvertently fell to the ground. Her phone flew out, its screen shattering upon

impact.

Startled by the sudden collision, Derrick’s mood turned sour. “Hey, what’s wrong with you!”

“Sorry, I was on the phone and didn’t watch where I was going.” Pearl feigned pain, tears welling in her

eyes.

Seeing a delicate and charming lady in distress, Derrick’s irritation disappeared. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Are

you alright? Let me help you up.” Saying this, he reached out to assist Pearl.

“How could I trouble you? It was my own fault for falling, and my phone…” Pearl stood up on her own,

appearing apologetic. She stole a glance at her phone on the ground, feigning a pang of heartache.

“It’s okay, I’ll buy you a new phone. Miss, what’s your name?” Derrick was already plotting how to take

advantage of the situation to get closer to Pearl. Spotting her damaged phone, he felt a twinge of

excitement.

“My name is Sarah White. And yours?” Pearl replied with a slight smile.

“I’m Derrick, the financial manager at Lawson Enterprises.” Derrick’s spirits soared as he disclosed his

position. He had a plan; once he mentioned his job, she’d surely show interest like other women.

“It’s getting late, and I have some urgent matters. I’ll take off now.” Pearl glanced at her watch,

displaying a hint of anxiety. “Regarding the phone, I’ll buy a new one myself later. Please don’t worry.”

“No, it’s partly my fault. Let me at least pay half the cost, or else I won’t feel right!” Derrick,

encountering this beautiful woman with an uninterested reaction toward money and status, experienced

a mix of emotions.

If she agreed to be with him, he’d immediately end things with his nagging wife and marry her instead!

Pearl hesitated for a moment, then proposed, “How about this, add me on WhatsApp. Once I’ve

purchased the new phone, you can transfer half the amount to me.”

Though reluctant, Derrick tentatively agreed. He reminded himself not to rush, as wooing a woman

required gradual progress.

Pearl provided him with a phone number, but it was only a secondary one. Even if someone attempted

to dig up information behind the number, they’d find nothing substantial.

After this exchange, Pearl smiled, waved, and departed.

Derrick remained in a daze, glued to his phone. Only late in the evening did Pearl finally

respond to his greeting on WhatsApp.

Seeing numerous messages from Derrick, Pearl felt annoyed but maintained a polite tone in her reply.

“Sarah”: [The new phone costs 850 dollars, just transfer 425 dollars to me.]

[Ding! You have received 4250 dollars via PayPal.]

“Sarah”: […?]

Derrick: [Miss White, I mistakenly added an extra zero, my apologies. But it’s okay, it’s a small amount.

You can keep it.]

“Sarah”: [Well… alright then. To make up for it, I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Maybe we can go out a

few more times, and gradually, I’ll reimburse you the whole amount.]

This scenario unfolded precisely as Derrick desired. He responded with two smiling emojis, appearing

especially pleased.

The following day happened to be the weekend. Early in the morning, Pearl went to the agreed -upon

location, with Richard discreetly following her out of concern.

“I’ll be sitting behind you,” Richard said.

With a somewhat exasperated eye roll, Pearl replied, “Are you worried I can’t handle this pervert?”
