Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 1020

James was still showing the woman around when Esther quietly left the law firm.

When he finally turned around, he noticed Summer standing alone at the reception, staring off into the distance.

Summer seemed to have noticed James' gaze. For the first time, she didn't look at him with admiration but with disappointment and disdain.

Disdain?

James thought he was mistaken. When he looked over again, Summer had already looked away, focusing on the door intently.

"What are you looking at, James? James?" The woman, Sabrina, waved her hand in front of James to regain his attention.

"Nothing. Sabrina, let's go upstairs."

Sabrina Watson shook her head. "No, someone's waiting for me. Let's end our date here. See you tomorrow, Mister James."

James gently nodded. "Sure, go ahead. Take care."

"Okay, bye."

As Sabrina made her way to the door, she approached Summer. "Who was that girl standing beside you earlier? I felt like she was staring at me."

Seeing Esther as her friend, Summer found Sabrina's inquiry irritating, even though Sabrina had the upper hand. She retorted, "That's personal. Please don't ask about that, miss."

Sabrina was taken aback by her rudeness and awkwardly smiled at James. "James, your employee here is quite something."

James's expression turned cold. "I didn't discipline her well."
