Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 

When Esther heard Pearl was coming over, she went straight to the lounge to see her. She saw Pearl sitting on the couch drinking coffee and eagerly rushed over to hug her. 

“Pearl, Clem got me another role in a drama. This time, it’s not any silly and innocent female lead but a cool and charismatic supporting female role. I read the script, and the character is really charming. I’m super excited about it!” 

“That’s great! But I didn’t come to you for your new role.” 

Pearl’s unexpectedly serious tone made Esther suddenly worried. “What is it then?” She hadn’t left the company in the past few days and wasn’t sure why Pearl had come to see her. 

“Do you remember the last time you were framed?” 

Esther hadn’t forgotten that incident and nodded vigorously. “Of course, I remember. Didn’t that matter get resolved in the end? Did Jenny, that troublemaker, cause another problem?” 

Pearl shook her head. “No, it’s not about that. It’s about the promise you made to the public with Mobius. You should fulfill it, right?” 

What promise? 

Esther’s mind suddenly clicked. “Oh my gosh. You’re not talking about us getting engaged, are you?” 

“Of course. When are you guys planning to get engaged?” 

Pearl’s words sent a shock through Esther’s mind. In fact, the idea of getting engaged hadn’t really crossed her mind. She thought Mobius was just joking. 

Moreover, if they were truly going to get engaged, she felt that Mobius should be the one to initiate it. If he didn’t make a move, she wouldn’t have the audacity to approach him herself. 

“Well, you know Mobius is a bit shy. Have you forgotten all the things he did for you before? Even if he likes you, he’s too embarrassed to bring up the engagement himself.” 

Pearl’s words made sense. 

Esther’s expression softened. “Really? Then how can I get him to bring it up?” 

Pearl chuckled, “I have an idea.” 

Esther leaned in closer to Pearl, listening intently to her plan, and then smiled. “But won’t that be a bit shameless?” 

Pearl rolled her eyes and gently countered, “He likes you, and we all know that. I’m just giving him a chance to express himself. How could that be shameless?” 

Esther had always listened to Pearl’s advice. When she heard this, she instantly felt more at 

ease. 

As the two of them chatted and laughed, Clem suddenly pushed the door open with a grave expression. “We’ve got a problem.” 

Esther was slightly puzzled. “What’s wrong?” 

“The director suddenly changed his mind about the role I secured for you this afternoon. He said he wants to give the role to Jenny.” 

Pearl’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. “Don’t worry. Let’s call the director now and find out what’s happening.”
