Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1433

Esther causing trouble wasn't as big of a deal as upsetting the boss.

Pearl asked Holly, "What's happening?"

Holly gave a nervous smile and stumbled over her words. "Um... Mi... Miss Pearl, Esther... she bull…"

She struggled to say "bully" and was frustrated with herself for it. But she found it hard to talk in front of Pearl.

"Esther bullied you?"

Holly felt Pearl was being fair and nodded with relief.

"Yes. She threw my coffee on the floor and threatened me. You need to do something about this."

People can act very convincingly when they want to.

Pearl frowned and nodded. "Okay, I get it. Esther threatened you, right?"

"Yes!" Holly beamed at her, then shot Esther a triumphant look.

"If that's true, then Esther needs to be punished."
