Pearl arrived at the office early the next day, but before she could step inside, Silas grabbed her wrist, visibly angry and eager to vent.
"What's going on? You never contacted me anymore after you left my place." Silas was frustrated, noticing that she had been avoiding his texts, with two days having passed since her last response.
Pearl remained calm and simply smiled when she saw how upset he was. "I didn't think there was anything worth discussing, so I didn't."
Silas felt helpless and reluctantly released her wrist. "It was all Yelena's fault," he explained, looking at Pearl with guilt and hope. "My family found out about this, so they want you to come to my home so they can apologize."
Pearl immediately declined his invitation to visit his home. "I don't think that's necessary. It's not a big deal, it's normal for girls to have their moments." She was indirectly turning him down.
Understanding that what had happened had been traumatic for Pearl, Silas didn't want to push her and suggested that they talk about it later.
He had initially approached her in anger but left feeling disappointed.
After their conversation at the door, Pearl went to see Rosalie. Over the past few days, the latter had become more familiar with the office, and Pearl had asked Wayne to keep an eye on her, allowing her to learn a lot.
When Pearl showed up, Rosalie was studying how to create video content. Pearl could tell that Rosalie had matured in the short time she had been there.
