Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342 

The man winced in excruciating pain, feeling as though his wrist was being torn apart. He wailed, “Ow, ow, ow! Man, I was just trying to be friendly! Why’d you hurt me?” 

“Don’t touch me,” Richard snapped, flinging the man’s arm away. 

Rubbing his sore wrist, the man muttered, “Pearl, your friend’s got a strange vibe, I don’t think I’ll get along with him. It requires a lot of patience to handle someone like that, let alone think about a relationship. Sure, he’s good-looking, but his attitude would only appeal to someone with a masochistic streak.” 

Richard shifted his gaze to Pearl, a glare of resentment on his face. “Why not just tell them I’m your boyfriend?” 

Observing Richard’s attractive face, it seemed as if he bore the weight of hurt behind those S**y double eyelids, maybe even teardrops teetering at the brink. It did pull at Pearl’s heartstrings ever so slightly-the pretty-boy strategy was quite effective. 

Pearl coughed lightly. “This is my boyfriend. I’m the one with the masochistic tendencies.” 

It wasn’t about masochism; it was dealing with a boyfriend who felt wronged over trivial matters. It left her feeling inadequate. 

The three men were taken aback and refrained from further teasing Pearl. They knew that pushing it might lead Richard to inflict serious harm, and they needed their hands intact for gaming! 

Meanwhile, Felix, focused on business, suggested, “Let’s head to the training room.” 

Confused by the strange expressions of the three men, Felix asked, “What’s the matter? Something wrong with your eyes?” 

The three men were speechless! 

“Boss, isn’t the training room strictly for club members? Why bring Pearl there?” one of them reminded Felix. 

Realizing his omission, Felix apologized and introduced them, “Pearl, meet FX’s BirdsofPrey, Superscion, and RadishX.” He then said to the trio, “Pearl will substitute for Woofreborn in the team matclı.” 

“Her?!” BirdsofPrey’s jaw nearly hit the floor. “Boss, are you kidding? Woofreborn plays a crucial role as the marksman, and you’re replacing him with her?” 

Superscion shared the concern, expressing, “Boss, we’re facing AD E-Sports, the rising star of this year. If we lose, it’ll bomb our reputation in the e-sports scene.” 

In contrast, RadishX didn’t mind. “Pearl is stunning. She doesn’t need to play seriously. A few smiles at the opposition would throw them off. We’re guaranteed to win.” 

Pearl quipped, “Everything’s part of the plan, right?” 

Felix gave them a stern look. “A few days ago, I lost a ivi match against her.” BirdsofPrey frowned. “But one match doesn’t prove much. Who’s to say…”
