Mysterious Mr.Richard

Judging from Dr. Wale's face and his silence, Pearl could guess that he was miffed. After weighing it for a while, she changed her opinion and words, "How about giving me some time until the end of this month? Dr. Morgan, if you still need me by then, I will be glad to accept the job."

"That's perfect." Nathan was overjoyed, "I'll go back to arrange this right now."

Dr. Wale's expression improved. It was clear as day that he was glad at heart for this. But before he left, he still added, "You know you won't leave easily if you really accept this job. You still have a month to think about it."

After watching Dr. Wale and Nathan leave the place, Pearl shook her head and sighed. "Alex, don't you agree as Dr. Wale grew older, he tends be more childish? He loves to argue with people and says more sarcasms."

"He only does that to you." Alex's laugh came from next to her. "Everyone knows Dr. Wale think highly of you most. I bet he will be the happiest one if you really become a teacher here. Even his future researches will left to you." 

"Come on. Stop saying that. Let's go now."

They walked side by side to the back stage.

 As they were walking, Alex was curious to ask, "Did you accept Dr. Morgan's offer for you don't want to upset Dr. Wale?"

"Yes. What else could I do?" Pearl said helplessly, "Didn't you notice how gloomy his face was? Had I said no, I bet he would no longer acknowledge me as his student!"

Looking at Pearl's side face, Alex's eyes softened unknowingly.

The world was changing; so were people. But time seemed to have stopped for Pearl. Her confidence, pride, as well as kindness had never changed after these years.

He would like to keep accompany with her until the end, even if he may get nothing at last.

 Alex and Pearl just reached the back stage. Noises from an ongoing ruckus came to their ears.

"Everyone, keep looking. How could they just disappear?" said someone with an anxious voice.

"We've looked everywhere, including the lounge. But they weren't there."

"Are they in the restroom?"
