Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1160

Esther's loud voice made Amelia panic.

"Shush!"

Esther realized too late that they were in the village, where people might overhear their conversation.

"So, what's your plan?" Esther felt better knowing Finnegan was on her side, working as a spy with her.

"I can't share it right now. It complicates my job since you figured out I'm a police officer," Amelia explained, cautious even though she trusted Esther's innocence not to spoil her plans.

Esther nodded, understanding, and dropped the subject.

After a while, Finnegan came in, puzzled by their knowing smiles.

"Mister Finnegan, she found out I'm an undercover cop."

Finnegan wasn't surprised. "She's always been smart. It's no surprise she guessed."

Esther was worried by his comment. "What do you mean? Do you know me?"

Finnegan glanced at Amelia, signaling her to leave, then turned back to Esther. "Don't you remember me?"

He closely looked at Esther's face, searching for hints in her expression. However, she only seemed confused. This made him feel a bit disappointed.

"Have we met before? If you tell me your name, maybe it'll ring a bell," Esther said, giving an awkward smile. "It's been so long, I can't really place you."
