Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl couldn’t figure out why Dustan knew about Richard’s business trip and even asked her to acco

Richard released her wrist when he sensed she wasn’t upset. “Maybe he wants us to bond by spending

some time together.”

Dustan might wish for Richard to marry her instead of Abby, so he might have wanted to provide them

with some alone time.

“What time in the afternoon?” Although Pearl resisted the idea of being alone with Richard because of

what had happened over the past two days, she anticipated that it would be difficult

to get herself out of the situation if she declined Dustan’s

request.

“The flight is at three o’clock in the afternoon going to Mosvil.”

“Okay, I’ll pack up and get ready to leave.” Pearl sighed, accepting her fate.

She packed light since it was just a two–day trip. Then, she headed to the airport with Richard.

Richard had booked first–class tickets. In the first–

class cabin, most of the passengers were busy typing on their laptops.

Pearl covered her legs with a small blanket and sipped her hot coffee, enjoying the smooth flight.

But then, the plane began to shake violently again and nosedived.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. The captain is trying to control the plane…”

The frequent announcements made Pearl realize the severity of the issue.

After around a minute, the plane’s speed decreased, but it was still descending rapidly.

“I want to go to the cockpit, Richard.”

Frowning, Richard rebuked, “Don’t mess around at a time like this.”

The critical

situation made Pearl unbuckle her seatbelt and get to her feet. “I’m not messing around. I want to see if

there’s anything I can do to help land the plane safely.”

Richard abruptly grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Don’t make light of people’s lives, Pearl. Besides, the co

Richard still refused to budge. “No, it’s not safe.”

Suddenly, the announcement over the intercom changed. “Attention, passengers on flight G12548. Is th

Richard’s heart skipped a beat, but he eventually let her go. “I’m going with you.”

Pearl turned around and saw that the speaker was a strange man seated at the back.
