Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 

Hearing that, Esther looked away. “No, I said that because I happened to see a woman pestering you.” 

Mobius insisted, “Just stop. This is my house. Please leave immediately.” 

Esther kept her head bowed, never having experienced such humiliation, and tears welled up in her eyes. 

“Stop crying. I can’t stand it when women cry.” Mobius’s frustration grew as he saw Esther’s tears. 

Pearl, noticing Mobius’s insensitivity, shook her head and tried to console Esther. “Alright, Este. Don’t cry. Despite his bad temper and sharp tongue, he’s a good guy. Don’t take his words to heart.” 

“It’s the first time someone has humiliated me like this. No, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here,” Esther declared, preparing to enter the house. 

Seeing Esther’s determination, Mobius became flustered. “Fine, stop causing a scene. I’m sorry, okay?” 

Esther stopped crying at his apology. “Really?” 

“Yeah, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have offended you. Just don’t approach me again. We’ll be total strangers. What do you think?” 

Total strangers…

Esther widened her eyes. “Where are you guys going?” 

Noticing Mobius’ impatience, Pearl answered for him, “He’s got to rehearse for a competition at the university.” 

“What kind of competition? Can I help?” 

Pearl sized Esther up and agreed, “If a popular star like you joins their performance, winning the competition should be easy.” 

However, Mobius immediately rejected their offer. “No, I don’t want to. I already told you we’re going to be strangers. 

“Are you a coward, Mobius? You’re rejecting me because you’re worried I’ll steal your spotlight?” Esther, aware of Mobius’s impulsive nature, intentionally provoked him. 

As expected, Mobius couldn’t resist rising to the bait, sneering, “Stop flattering yourself. It’s not like everyone likes you.” 

“Then why won’t you let me join your performance? You’re scared, aren’t you? It’s alright. I’m generous and won’t steal your spotlight.” Esther watched Mobius from the corner of her eye. 

Rolling his eyes, Mobius gave in. “Fine, come along. I don’t think everyone will vote for you just because you’re pretty.” He was indirectly complimenting Esther’s looks…
