Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1059

Early in the morning, the Dark Bar was almost empty, yet the air was thick with the scents of cigarette smoke and alcohol.

When Damian arrived, he immediately spotted a woman from behind who reminded him of Gigi. She was dressed in a maid's uniform and carrying a tray. Rushing over, he spun her around only to be met by a stranger's scared face, leaving him disappointed.

He made his way back to the bar and questioned the staff member on duty.

"Have you seen a woman about her height but thinner, with long, straight black hair and big eyes?"

Damian did his best to describe Gigi, but the staff member thought for a moment and then shook his head. "No, haven't seen her."

Damian's worry grew as he clenched his fists.

He began to regret his harshness. He should have considered Gigi's feelings before speaking so bluntly. But right now, finding her was all that mattered.

Where else could she be?

Then, another place came to mind.

Ten minutes later, Damian arrived at another popular spot, Spirit Bar.

He entered and immediately noticed a slim figure near the stage.

It was Gigi!

Despite her heavy makeup, her youthful face was unmistakable.

What was she doing there?

His words hurt Gigi deeply, and she turned pale.

"I know I can't compare to her," she said, her voice shaking. "But shouldn't I learn by doing? As long as I work here—"

"Enough! This is nonsense. Let's go home," Damian interrupted, grabbing her wrist.

But she yanked her arm away. "No, I'm serious about this. It's my life, not yours. You can't control what I do."

For the first time, Gigi stood up to him.

Bewildered, Damian found himself speechless. After a long while, he took a deep breath to calm down.

"Why do you insist on comparing yourself with her, Gigi?"
