Chapter 8 The biggest shame!
Richard looed at Pearl coldly. Then he continued, "I'm a businessman, I helped you, therefore you need pay back with something of the same value."
Pearl felt like she was suffocating. It took her some time to find her voice. "Then what do you mean?"
Richard's gaze fell on her badge. He mocked her, "Well, a well-known doctor like you could pour a glass of water for me, right?"
Pearl was taken aback. But she snapped back to her senses swiftly. "Yes, I could."
There was a water dispenser in this room. So she got back to him soon with a glass of water. "It's warm. I have tested it. So you can drink it now."
But Richard frowned at her.
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't drink it. I just felt the glass ."
After just saying this, Pearl began to regret for in fact Richard did not say anything at all now. She just explained directly. It felt like she had thought too much.
Richard did not get the water. On the contrary, he left her standing there.

"Don't think so highly of yourself. I'm not interested in you. No wonder I have been feeling horrible. Even breathing the same air with you make me sick."

Pearl clenched the bed sheet. She endured the pain. She forced herself to be composed. Then she replied indifferently, "Well, if you're not interested, what are you doing now, Mr. Zellweger? And don't forget, you're getting married next month. If someone sees this, they might misunderstand this..."
