[Chapter 166]
Springfield!
In an upscale apartment.
Pearl was sitting on the couch in her pajamas, having just hung up on David, and was about to call her subordinates to hurry things up.
David said on the phone that money was not an issue as long as they could get results. He probably wanted to do something urgently to show his family.
'Didn't heirs of powerful families try to kill each other to fight for the patriarch's position?'
"Maybe David's jockeying for a spot in his family? Is he in such danger too?'
If so, she needed to speed up. She and David were in the same boat now. She would rise or fall with him.
If David failed to grab the patriarch spot, her life would be miserable, and she still had some indescribable feelings about him.
She did not want David to fail, so she had to work harder.
Since money was not an issue, it was easier to get things done with half the effort.
With that, she got off the phone with her subordinate after urging them to finalize the investment quickly. Then, she contacted several corporations interested in financing-she was going to meet them tomorrow.
At this time.
A curvaceous woman walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. She had a beautiful face and had reached up to the top of her head to fix her hair. Her skin was as fair as snow.
Any man would be burning with desire at the sight of her.
"Pearly! Were you talking to your man on the phone? You've only been here a few days, and you can't take it anymore?" The woman spoke flirtatiously.
Then, she walked over to Pearl and brought her chin up with one hand to kiss her.
Pearl turned her head sideways, knocked her hand away, and said, "Rhonnie, can you be serious?"
The person Pearl called Rhonnie was Pearl's university roommate and best friend-Rhonda Rogers.
The two had been roommates since freshman year and remained close until graduation.
Although they had not seen each other for a few years after graduation, they were still familiar with each other.
Both of them were the campus belles back in university, but Rhonda was far more popular.
It was because her body was so perfect that you could not find any flaw in her. Besides, she had a beautiful face and a flirtatious voice.
She was a man-eater in school. Freshmen, seniors, and even some of the lecturers in school were smitten by her.
However, after spending a few years together, Pearl realized that the girl did not seem to like men! She was pursued by nearly a third of the men in school, from the poor to the most popular boy in school.
The poor would send love letters, flowers, and breakfast every day.
The most popular boy would buy her designer clothes, bags, perfume, and all kinds of luxury goods.
However, it all ended up in the trash.
After four years of university, no man succeeded.
The girl had no interest in men but would always take advantage of her.
She even stole her first kiss by force.
"I'm serious, okay? When I asked you to stay with me in Springfield after graduation, you insisted on going back to your hometown, and now you're back in my arms! Any woman I've set my sights on can't escape from me," said Rhonda as she held out her long palms and made some gestures.
"Rhonnie, it's been years. How come you haven't changed? You're a fool not to show men your beautiful figure!"
With that said, Pearl reached out and took Rhonda's towel off. A figure you could call perfect appeared before her eyes.
Rhonda did not care that her towel was removed. They had seen each other naked back when they were i n university.
"Those jerks are no match for you, Pearly! They look like they're trying to eat me up. It's freaking disgusting," said Rhonda as she sat naked next to Pearl.
"Rhonnie, are you sure you don't want a man? Do you want to spend your life alone?" Asked Pearl as she turned her head around.
"What's so good about men? Isn't it nice being alone? Why ask for trouble? I even have to take care of them. Pearly, why don't you spend the rest of your life with me?" Rhonda asked somewhat flirtatiously.
"No! Rhonnie, I don't want to spend my life like this! You'd better find someone else!" Pearl rejected quickly.
"Pearly, you've had a change of heart! It's only been a few years! Do you have a boyfriend now? You must have been talking to your man on the phone earlier. Come on. Tell me about him. What does he look like? How tall is he? What about his weight?" Rhonda asked with a smile.
Pearl's face was burning slightly from Rhonda's barrage of questions.
"Rhonnie, you'd really ask me anything. How… how should I know?" Pearl said with a blush.
"You don't know? Isn't that your man?"
"You… You… You… I'm done talking to you. I'm going back to my room!"
Blushing, Pearl got up to return to her room, but Rhonda grabbed her hand.
Rhonda pulled Pearl back gently, and Pearl sat in Rhonda's arms.
"Pearly, don't go! Tell me, was that your boyfriend?"
"No! That was my boss!" Pearl said, a little bashful.
"Your boss? Male or female?"
"Male!"
"How old is he?"
"He's in his 20s!"
"So young?"
"Yes! He's still in university!"
"He became a boss in university? Good for you! No wonder he could steal my beautiful Pearly's heart!"
"Rhonnie, stop the nonsense! By the way, my boss just gave me a major assignment, and I need your help, Rhonnie!"
"What assignment?"
"He wants me to spend at least fifty billion dollars on investments this month!"
"How much?" Rhonda asked louder.
"Fifty billion!" "Who is your boss? Does he have too much money to spend?"
"I don't know either! You have to help me this time. You know Springfield better than I do. Do you have any big projects that need financing?"
"I'll have to ask around! Don't worry! It's only fifty billion dollars. I'll take care of it for you!"
"Alright then! I'm going to bed. Good night!" After saying that, Pearl got up and walked back to her room, while Rhonda did not pull her this time!
After watching Pearl leave, Rhonda picked up the towel, covered her beautiful figure, and sat on the couch without moving. No one knew what was on her mind!
