Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 100

"It's nothing." Pearl smiled and patted his back. "Focus on your studies from now on."

Mobius felt a strange emotion stirring in his heart. "I see why Richard likes you now…"

Pearl was caught off-guard by Mobius' comment but managed to maintain her composure. After some thought, she smiled. "Your brother has feelings for someone else. Didn't you know that?"

Mobius was shocked. "Are you talking about… Jenny? That's his first love. I don't think he still has feelings for her."

"Did you know your brother canceled a partnership and rushed back to see her?"

Mobius was confused. "Huh? He's just been in the office and didn't even meet any women."

Pearl was momentarily at a loss for words. Was she overthinking this?

Meanwhile, Richard had learned about the situation and spotted them on his way to the school.

"Rick!"

"Cheating? Why?" Richard was obviously concerned about Mobius and didn't even look at Pearl, even though she was just next to them.

Mobius scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's fine now, thanks to Pea. If it wasn't for her, I might have been expelled and called a cheater."

Richard looked at Pearl, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Thanks for helping him."

"Pea!"

A voice called out from behind, prompting Pearl to turn around and see Mobius running over, clearly out of breath.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Mobius finally caught up to her, his face beaming. "Are you giving my brother the cold shoulder?"

"No, don't overthink it. There's nothing between us to begin with, so why would I give him the cold shoulder?" Pearl smiled while suppressing her anger.

"I know something happened between you two," Mobius persisted, "but why won't you just talk about it? Do you have to be this way?"
