Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 239

Mobius walked into the university without looking back.

"Look at the guy you like! He doesn't even respect you, and he's so arrogant. Honestly, you should have moved on from him a long time ago," Lifting his head, Esther's cousin blew at his bangs in a somewhat gangster-like fashion, but he still managed to look handsome.

"Why did you have to provoke him like that, cousin?" Gloomy, Esther felt that it was her cousin's fault that Mobius had left in a huff.

"Would he have shown that he cared about you if I hadn't provoked him? Alright, I'm going back to class now. Tell my mother that I didn't skip class," Esther's cousin replied before turning and heading into the university.

When Esther turned around and saw Pearl and Richard standing nearby, she was stunned. "What are you doing here?"

Hearing that, Pearl burst into laughter. "We wouldn't have witnessed such a strange misunderstanding if we hadn't been here."

"Oh, you heard all that..." Esther blushed and lowered her head, feeling embarrassed that they had seen her lie to Mobius with her cousin.

"Mobius has a quick temper, and he can be harsh with his words. You'll need to figure out ways to deal with him if you want to be his girlfriend," Pearl advised, trying to encourage Esther.

Esther nodded. "Got it. But Pearl, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"I'm not sure about this, Mister Richard." Sophia hesitated, "Pearl lacks experience in this role, and she's not even an employee here. Promoting her to vice president so suddenly might not be in line with company policies."

Pearl had long anticipated that kind of statement from Sophia. Smiling, she said, "You're mistaken, Miss Sophia. Didn't you also get promoted from a regular employee to the design director position not too long ago? And it's not like you earned your promotion solely based on your qualifications. You simply took advantage of the situation. It's no surprise that you fail to see the bigger picture."

Pearl's sharp retort left Sophia pale and flustered. "You've crossed the line, Pearl. I earned my promotion based on my qualifications. Moreover, I graduated from the top design school in Enswood with honors. I am more than qualified to be the design director."

Sophia's confidence was apparent when she mentioned her academic achievements. She believed her qualifications made her the rightful design director and was unapologetic about it.
