Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 341

Pearl was about to introduce Felix as her cousin, but the next second, Felix started introducing himself, "I'm not a troublemaker. I am Felix, captain of FX E-Sports, the top-ranked e-sports club in the country."

"Oh, so you're the eldest son of the Jordan family, the e-sports enthusiast." Richard's expression brightened upon hearing the Jordan surname.

"Yes, that's right," Felix said proudly.

"So, you came to find me this time because you want to recruit me into your team? Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't have the time to stay long-term in your club, nor am I interested in e-sports." Pearl gazed at Felix's handsome but somewhat childish face and couldn't help but feel like something was missing in his brain.

Good-looking? Undoubtedly. Perhaps some intelligence went into exchange for that.

Although Felix appeared disappointed, Pearl remained firm, and he understood he couldn't force her. "I know you don't want to join our team. I'm actually here to invite you to participate in a team match. One of our teammates had a car accident, and I—"

"Why not find another person from your team to take his place?" Pearl didn't particularly care.

Felix waved off the idea and praised Pearl's skills, "He plays a crucial role as a marksman, and he's the best in the team. Given your diverse and versatile skills, I thought you'd be a suitable replacement."

"Well... alright." Pearl looked at him with a bit of reluctance but didn't want to refuse outright. She could only agree to go to the club with him.

"Fantastic!" Felix cheered.

Suddenly, Richard interjected, "I'll come along."

Puzzled, Pearl turned to Richard. "Why are you coming along with us? You're not a gamer."

One man extended his hand, aiming to shake hands with Pearl. "Pearl, you're quite pretty. Can we be friends?"

"Sure..." Pearl smiled and was about to reciprocate when Richard swiftly intervened, shaking the man's hand instead, "She already has plenty of friends. However, I'm open to being friends with you."

It was a typical display of protectiveness. Richard's jealousy was palpable, and Pearl managed a forced smile. "Apologies, he's always like this. He feels neglected and craves attention. Just offer him a bit more warmth, will you?"

At first thinking it was a case of romantic jealousy, the man changed his mind after hearing Pearl's explanation. He gave Richard's shoulder a friendly pat, saying, "Make yourself at home here. If you run into any problems, don't hesitate to reach out."

As he said this, the man tried to put his arm around Richard, but the latter promptly took hold of his hand, stopping him.
