Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 983

Esther felt lost when it seemed like James had blocked her.

She checked her messages and noticed their couple's display picture had changed. She attempted to send a message there, realizing he hadn't blocked her there.

[Hello?]

There was no response, but Esther wasn't ready to give up. She sent another message, only to find herself blocked there as well.

Running out of options without being able to call or text him, Esther grew frustrated. With a guard dog at the door, she couldn't even confront James directly. What was James doing…

She felt sad at first, but then she remembered she pushed him away and stopped feeling that way.

But even after her actions, James hadn't said a word. How could she give up over these minor setbacks?

She approached the door and knocked.

The woman glanced at her briefly and ignored her.

"Open the door," Esther demanded.

"Why are you still standing there? Get me a glass of water. I've been talking so much my throat is dry," Esther insisted.

Forcing a smile, the woman replied, "The water cooler is over there. You can get it yourself."

"As a guest, I've never heard of having to fetch my own water. Who taught you how to entertain guests? Why did James hire you?" Esther fired off questions.

The woman had no answers but feared James's opinion. Afraid of being fired, she reluctantly got a glass of water from the cooler and approached Esther.

However, as she handed over the glass, she intentionally spilled it on Esther's hand.
