Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 96

"What I do is none of your business, Mister Waldorf. You should worry about your own situation." Pearl retorted, not wanting to back down and resorting to hurtful words.

Richard wiped his lips with a napkin and said, "I'm only taking care of you because of my dad's orders. I have no interest in being a busybody."

"If you're not interested, then don't do it," Pearl shot back, her annoyance growing.

Mobius walked out of his room, noticing the tense atmosphere between them. "Why are you both frowning so early in the day? You're not enemies."

Pearl dismissed it, saying, "Nothing is going on, Mobius. Time for breakfast. I'll help you study in your room later."

Mobius nodded, quickly finished his meal, and returned to his room. He clutched his pen tightly, clearly anxious. "I don't think I've learned much in the past six months, Pea. Do you think I can finish this?"

"Of course not," Pearl answered honestly.

Mobius sighed. "What's going to happen? Am I going to fail?"

Pearl sighed in response. "You won't fail because I'm here, but you're probably not going to get a perfect score."

Perfect score? He would be happy just to pass. He smiled when he heard he wouldn't flunk. "Let's start the revision now then."

Pearl opened the book and began highlighting the key points. She appeared to have the entire book memorized and efficiently marked the critical areas. Her confidence made it seem as if she was the one who wrote the exam questions.

"Pea, but… " Mobius started, surprised that when the teacher marked important sections, they were lengthy paragraphs, but Pearl only highlighted a sentence every few pages and completed the entire book within ten minutes.
