Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1226

"Why did he break up with her?" Pearl knew she was talking about Esther.

"He broke up with her because his ex came back into his life. It's kind of funny because my friend looked just like his ex. It was like she was just a stand-in."

Summer looked really upset as she shared this. "My friend was such a wonderful person, inside and out. They were even engaged. But then his old love came back, and my friend was pushed aside."

"Didn't your friend try to talk to him after that?"

Summer's face showed her sadness. "Of course, she did. But what's the use? He didn't even want to see her. She came here and waited outside his door for two days, but he wouldn't come out to talk to her."

"And then?" Pearl's anger was at its peak.

"Now, he's getting married to his ex-girlfriend."

"What did he say when you called him?"

At this point, Summer didn't feel the need to hide anything from her. "He's at home busy spending time with his fiancee."

"Okay, thank you. What's your name?"

Summer waved off the question. "No need to worry about that. I'm putting my job at risk by telling you all this. He'd fire me if he knew."

Pearl handed her a business card. "Please, tell me your name. I want to thank you properly."

"Who is it?"

The maid peeked out, surprised to see Pearl. She knew who Pearl was and wasn't expecting her.

"Miss Pearl, what brings you here?" The maid blocked the door, clearly uncomfortable but trying to be polite.

"I'm here to see James," Pear said, trying to sound cool, though she was far from feeling it.

"Mister James isn't home right now."

Pearl wasn't happy with that answer, but she didn't want to make it difficult for the maid.
