Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 985

Esther felt like crying, but she refused to do so in front of this woman or in public.

"Alright, don't cry. You shouldn't come back here anymore. Mister James doesn't want to see you," the woman remarked, seeing Esther's change in expression. She handed her a napkin, perhaps feeling sorry for her.

Esther accepted the napkin, wiped her tears, and let out a sigh. "I understand now."

"Good. So don't show up here again," the woman advised.

"I mean I understand, but that's exactly why I'll keep coming back!" Esther declared.

The woman wanted to take back the napkin. "Why are you so stubborn? Can't you see how he looked at you with disdain? Why would you still stick around?"

"You've only seen him look disdainful, but have you considered that side of him only came out because I'm the only one who could make him so angry?" Esther argued. That meant she was important to him, or he wouldn't have been so upset.

"I give up. You're like a persistent little dog," the woman said with an eye roll, but her tone wasn't entirely negative. "You don't look ugly, and your voice is nice. Why would you keep throwing yourself at him?"

Esther shook her head and took a sip of water. "Because I know he loves me and can't forget about me, and I still have a chance. Why shouldn't I try?"

"How can you think you have a chance?" The woman was done discussing this and turned her attention to a new arrival, prompting her to tell Esther, "You should leave now."
