Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 15

“Really? And who are you? Does Mobius even know you? Do you deserve him?” The woman’s face stiffened before she sneered. “How dare you come to the university with Mobius. We’ll put you in your place!” When Mobius learned that Pearl was being ambushed at the washroom, he reluctantly went there. If not for his father, he would ignore her. However, he was shocked when he arrived at the washroom. Melissa Kirk and her friends were known bullies. They loved bullying others by relying on their powerful family backgrounds. But at that moment, they were running out of the washroom, their faces bearing red slap marks and their hair a wet mess. Mobius’ frowned as Pearl came out calmly. Dressed in a black T-shirt and sporting a high ponytail, she looked young and trendy. She looked unscathed too. “Those girls…” Mobius glanced at Melissa and the others who were running away. “They wanted to beat me up, so I hit them.” Mobius knew that Melissa practiced boxing. Pearl said nonchalantly, “I never imagined you’d have so many admirers when you’re just so-so. Those admirers of yours are so dumb and vulgar.” Tongue-tied, Mobius decided to not argue with her. Afternoon came, and no one else had come to find trouble with Pearl. The last period was physical education. She sat by the field and watched a few young men play basketball. After a while, she felt an ache in her abdomen. She frowned. ‘Shoot! I forgot I’m getting my period today.’ Pearl was generally fearless, but the one thing she feared was her period. Every time her period came, she would be in excruciating pain. Holding onto her stomach, she slowly got up and left the basketball court. She quickly went to a store at the entrance of the university. However, she did not notice someone following her. When Richard finished his work, his assistant entered the office. “Sir, the person who broke your record at Death Valley last night was Miss Pearl.” “Who?” Richard looked up. “Miss Pearl.” Richard had always been indifferent toward her, but now, he was amazed. ‘Pearl? But wasn’t she with Hugo yesterday?’ Car racing was Richard’s hobby, so he was curious about the person who broke the record that he held for over a year. Hence, he asked his assistant to investigate it after arriving at the office. ‘Pearl sure is a miracle worker.’ Richard smiled. At this moment, his phone rang. “Rick, Pearl’s missing!” Mobius realized that Pearl was gone after he finished playing basketball, and she was not picking up his calls. When called home and inquired with the helpers, they told him that Pearl had not gone home. Mobius did not dare to tell his father about this, so he called Richard. Hearing this, Richard’s expression fell.
