James couldn't read her expression but could guess what she was thinking. He chuckled, the sound echoing in the quiet space. "So, you'd prefer

Esther dating me, huh?"

Pearl shook her head and regarded him with a scrutinizing gaze. "I'm not sure if you're a good person, so I'll continue keeping an eye on you."

Despite being better than Mobius in terms of family, temperament, capability, and looks, Pearl remained cautious because James seemed like a

schemer.

"Since you're Esther's best friend, | won't let you down," James assured, his eyes softening as he looked at the unconscious Esther. "Esther, I'l make

you mine."

Pearl was shocked. She had something on her mind and ended up blurting it out, "I want to know how you met Esther." Why did he suddenly develop

such strong feelings for her?

James didn't try to hide anything and just said, "I fell for her three years ago when she first stepped on stage." It was love at first sight, plain and

simple, with no elaborate buildup.

Pearl felt a bit foolish. She had thought numerous theories about why he might have fallen for Esther, but the reality was far simpler than she had

imagined. Was he just another fan turned admirer?

Suddenly, a memory struck her. Her voice trembled slightly. "Three years ago, Esther did a series of photoshoots and sold out all her copies. Was

that..."

Esther had mentioned this to her before. During her debut, Esther had done a series of photoshoots, and the sales had surpassed those of famous A-

listers at the tby several times.

Esther suspected someone was behind it but couldn't figure out who. After that, her rise to stardom had been smooth sailing. She beca B-lister

within a year, and now, with Pearl's assistance, she was on the cusp of joining the A-list.

"I bought them," James admitted. How could one make a girl happy without spending money?

Pearl was stunned but also touched. This man was quite the romantic.

Esther's success might have been partly due to him. Her goldmine was just right in front of her!

"In that case, | have no objections to you two dating," Pearl concluded. James seemed willing to spend money on Esther, treat her well, and protect

her. There didn't seem to be any downsides.

James coughed. "Your motives are pretty obvious, Miss Pearl."

Pearl suddenly realized her transparency and offered him an awkward smile.

"But thank you for entrusting Esther to me. If your company ever needs assistance, feel free to reach out." He raised his wine glass. "To our

partnership."

Pearl raised hers and clinked it against his. "To our partnership."
