Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1095

"Agnes is planning to have me and James get engaged this weekend..."

Esther felt helpless. She was busy filming and didn't have much free time, but Agnes insisted they get engaged soon.

Pearl was surprised. "Engaged? Is it that urgent?"

"Yeah, Aunt Agnes said we should get engaged soon to make sure everything goes smoothly." Simply put, she feared losing out on having Esther as her daughter-in-law.

Esther took out an invitation card from her bag. It was simple yet fancy. The words [Engagement Party] were printed in gold embossing.

"I'm here to give you this invitation. You have to come this weekend." Esther blinked, looking eager.

"Sure, I'll be there." Pearl smiled and then saw James coming in, looking a bit dusty.

He nodded and greeted Pearl, then turned to Esther. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming here? I wouldn't have found you if I hadn't asked your assistant." He sounded calm, but his voice had a hint of reproach.

Esther stuck out her tongue, looking smug. "I came here in a hurry to talk to Pearl. She just went through something a few days ago, and I haven't comforted her yet."

Although she knew Pearl didn't seem to need such comfort, she was just presumptuous. But as her best friend, she needed to help her feel better.

"Alright." James chuckled. "I'm here to pick you up for dinner at my place. My mom said she wants to see you."

Pearl nodded with a smile. "Okay."

"Let's go. Sabrina's waiting for us," James said, picking up Esther's coat from the couch.

Speaking of Sabrina, Esther winked mischievously at Pearl. "Let me tell you, Pearl. James and his childhood sweetheart are so interesting. Their love story is like something out of a novel. I'll tell you all about it when I have time."

Pearl chuckled. "Okay."

Suddenly, Esther seemed to remember something. "But I feel like her boyfriend looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere."
