Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 14

Pearl woke up early the next day. Today, she had to spend the day with Hugo, a doctor and the dean of Eldoris Hospital. The Waldorf brothers truly were exceptional. Despite being so young, Hugo had managed to become the dean. He appeared gentle and reserved and had not said much to Pearl after she came to live with his family. They went to the hospital together. “I have two surgeries lined up today, so I’ll be busy. You can stay in my office. Take the bodyguards with you if you get bored and want to go out.” Pearl nodded. After playing her mobile games all morning, Hugo had yet to finish his surgeries. He was extremely busy, so she left the hospital and went out. When she got home at night, there was no sign of Hugo. The next day, it was Mobius’ turn. Mobius was the youngest Waldorf and was still in university. The family driver had asked for the day off today, and since Richard would be passing by the university on his way to the office, he drove Mobius and Pearl there after breakfast. During the car ride, Mobius exclaimed from the front seat, “F*ck, Rick! Someone broke your record at Death Valley!” Death Valley was a famous car racing route. Richard held the record of clearing it in under five minutes and thirty-two seconds, making Mobius admire him deeply. But someone had broken Richard’s record. Hearing this, Richard frowned. “And it was a woman! But I can’t see her face since she was wearing a helmet.” Pearl was nodding off in the back seat as Mobius frantically tried to find out the woman’s identity. In the end, he found nothing on her. When they were almost at the university, Mobius changed the topic as he looked at Pearl. “Hey, village girl, do you like Hanz?” Pearl was slightly annoyed at how he addressed her. “What makes you think that?” “You gave him such an expensive microphone. Are you a fan of his? Tsk! As expected, all women like celebrities.” Pearl rolled her eyes. She had no intention of arguing with a fool and got out of the car. Richard’s grasp on the steering wheel tightened. Did Pearl really like Hanzel? “Bye, Rick. Oh, do help me find who that woman is since you’re more capable.” Mobius loved car racing, and now his idol had changed. That woman must be high-class and charming. How cool! Richard ignored him and ordered, “Make sure to keep your eye on Pearl.” “Who would bully her?” Mobius complained before getting out of the car too. The university was not strict on rules, so Pearl was allowed into the classroom with Mobius and to listen to the lectures. She could feel eyes watching her everywhere she went. After all, she was the fianceenovelbin

chosen by the Waldorfs, so of course, she would be in the limelight. Pearl, who was bored out of her mind, overheard a woman making a sarcastic remark after one of the lectures. “She likes Mobius? Tsk! How shameless! Isn’t she aware of how old she is?” Pearl was speechless as she was only twenty years old. She wondered who had spread the rumor that she liked Mobius. Pearl got up and went to the washroom. When she came out of the stall, a few women blocked her way. The leader glanced at Pearl and ridiculed, “You like Mobius?” “No, I don’t.” “Hmph! Hey Pearl, Mobius is the most handsome guy in the university. You don’t deserve him.” Pearl became speechless. Did they not understand her when she said she did not like him?
