Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 169

"Why not come in?"

William hung up the phone and squinted at Frederic, who was standing at the door and poked his head in like a thief. 'Does he think I'm blind?' William thought.

...

"Mr. William."

Frederic nervously entered the office and handed over the documents.

William opened them with a long face and said after a glance, "Trash."

Frederic wiped his sweat without surprise.

"Trash. Ask them to redo. If they mess it up again, just get out of here. Tell them the Duncan Group doesn't care about who they're. If someone can't do the job, get out."

William touched his face, thinking, 'Am I too kind recently? Those guys have forgotten the rules.

"Yes." Frederic nodded, thinking, 'Mr. William doesn't change at all. They're stupid enough to think he becomes merciful. He's just kind to his wife instead of them!'

...

...

...

It was five o'clock in the evening and was time to get off work.

Jane planned to open a bottle of good red wine and celebrate with the employees.

Charlee had benefited her company. Then, with a low price, Only One got the naming right in the competition for Great Dancers, which was also good news.

"Jane, I called Pearl but no one picked up," Robert said on the phone.

He took Pearl as his patient and cared much about her.

Pearl was still abroad. She went shopping and had spas recently and was emotionally stable.

Pearl wouldn't be antisocial unless she was stimulated.

"Robert, are you too nervous?"

Robert accompanied Pearl on New Year's Eve. In the past few days, he moved to the International Mansion to take care of Pearl.

Jane believed that there was something between them.

The day after she returned home, she had a meal with Pearl. Pearl was obviously not as resistant to Robert as before.

The truth proved that saving a woman from trouble was the best way for a man to approach her.

Robert and Pearl became closer to each other.

"I'm not that worried if I just couldn't contact her."

Robert and Pearl had an appointment to eat together at night. He bought the ingredients and went to Pearl's house.

No one answered the phone or opened the door for him.

"I had a bad feeling and opened the door with the password."

Pearl behaved normally but was a normal person.

Robert was very worried because the room was empty and the knives had disappeared from the kitchen.

Pearl never cooked, and the knives were only used to cut fruits and were mainly used by the housemaid.

...

"The housemaid got off work and went back to her hometown. She won't go back after the 15th of this month."

Robert swallowed nervously. Pearl suddenly disappeared and took the knives away. Something terrible might happen.

"Don't worry. Things may not be as bad as you think. Let's go out to find her."

Jane put on her scarf and rushed out with the car key.

She didn't have much interaction with Pearl and only knew that Pearl had a cousin who was running a spa club.

Her phone rang while she was driving. It was a call from Pearl.

"Where did you go? Robert is looking for you," Jane said worriedly after picking up the phone.

...

"Janie, it's me," a man said in a melodious voice.

...

'It's not Pearl, it's...' Jane did a double-take and asked, "Randy?"

...

"Yeah." Randy lazily leaned against the sofa.

...

Randy thought, 'Jane remembered my distinctive voice. Did this mean I'm special to her?'

He was delighted.

Since Jane moved out of the International Mansion after New Year's Eve, Randy saw much less of her and lost the chance to dance attendance on her.

"Why do you have Pearl's phone?"

Jane confirmed several times that it was indeed a call from Pearl.

"Well." Randy sat up and adjusted his expression. "I picked it up from the grass in the International Mansion. It doesn't need a password so I didn't give it to the guards."

...

The people who lived in the International Mansion all had good backgrounds, but the guards there were not trustworthy.

The phone was private. Randy only opened the address book and found Jane's phone number in it.

He explained why he did not give the phone to the guards.

He called Jane, eager to impress her.

"I see. That's Pearl's phone," Jane said.

Randy had seen Pearl before and knew she was the daughter of a diamond baron.

He said, "I wasn't there just now and missed dozens of calls."

And Randy was embarrassed when he saw the calls were all from "Sissy".

As it was a man, he might misunderstand if Randy answered the phone.

"So I chose to call you," Randy said, "I'm not familiar with Ms. Pearl. Can you come and get it?"

...

Randy told Jane he was filming an advertisement at a shopping mall in the city center.

"Alright." Considering that Pearl had something private in her phone and it was not safe to keep it in others' hands, Jane had to agree.

...

Half an hour later, Jane arrived at the shopping mall in a big mask and a hat. She was brought into the studio by Randy's assistant, Jovanny.

The paparazzi, waiting at the door, immediately took photos of them. They could not see Jane's face, but they saw her car.

...

It was really big news that Randy was dating a mysterious woman!

Jane did not know that she was exposed again, and she was eager to get Pearl's phone.

"Thank you so much," Jane seriously said to Randy and took back the phone.

...

She was relieved that Pearl's phone wasn't taken away by an outsider.

"Don't worry. I locked the phone in the cabinet and I only saw the call records," Randy said with a smile, "You also helped me before and got in trouble because of that. I just did something for you in return."

...

...

Previously, since he didn't know Jane well and got something wrong about her, he gave her a bad impression.

It was difficult to change that. At least Jane thought that he had ulterior motives, and therefore she was on guard against him.

After realizing his mistake, Randy changed his tactics and tried to win Jane's heart step by step.

Giving Jane the news about the competition for Great Dancers was just a part of his plan.

"It's so kind of you," Jane said.

After handing over the phone, Randy didn't say much. He had to work for the advertisement later.

Jane left with the phone in a hurry.

She was photographed again when walking out.

This time Jane sensed something but she had to find Pearl and had no time to tangle with the paparazzi.

"Robert, where are you? I've got Pearl's phone. Come and see if we can find anything." Jane called Robert.

She sat in the car and opened the web page on Pearl's phone. She then found the search records were quite suspicious.

"Jane, I'm about ten kilometers away from you. Let's meet at the coffee shop there," Robert said and hung up in a cold sweat.

...

He remembered he only told Elyse something about Pearl on New Year's Eve.

...

He slapped himself across the face, thinking, 'I spoke too much.'

Elyse thought that he and Pearl were dating. He was embarrassed at that time, emphasizing that Pearl was just his patient.

There had almost been no secrets between him and his sister since their childhood.

Robert thought, 'Perhaps Pearl heard us at that time. Did she know she's ill? She seemed normal these days.'

...

However, she seemed too normal, which exactly meant something abnormal.
