Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 379

Although Raymond was called out, he didn’t look awkward.

However, Pearl said ‘you guys’ instead of just ‘you’. Raymond maintained his smile. “Master Jordan

misses you.”

Pearl didn’t believe him. “He would have come and captured me. Miss? He doesn’t miss me. The

Jordans just didn’t have anyone better.”

“It doesn’t matter because we have a lot of time left,” Raymond replied with a subtle smile before

turning and returning to the hotel.

Pearl found the phrase ‘a lot of time left’ sounding familiar. As she pondered it, she realized it was

something she had said to Richard before.

“We have a lot of time left, Richard.”

But did they?

Pearl watched him walk away, sensing that he might be hiding something behind those words.

The next day, filming for the series officially began. Pearl and Esther woke up at five for makeup, outfit

changes, and script memorization.

Pearl gained a new appreciation for the challenges actors faced. As they finally started shooting, one of

the minor actors began to throw a fit.

“Why am I only on screen for such a short time? My makeup will go to waste! I don’t want to film this

“They’re not as pretty-”

The girl became even more arrogant upon hearing that. “Well, I’m pretty, so you should give me more

“You look like a rotten apple, and even makeup can’t cover that up. Why do you think you’re pretty? I

swear it’s always the ugly ones.” Pearl didn’t hold back, targeting the girl’s insecurities with a cutting

remark.

“Who are you calling ugly?” The girl stood up and stared, only to realize the criticism came from

someone at least a hundred times more beautiful than her. Her anger intensified. “You’re not much

better. You’ve probably had a lot of work done on your nose and face.”

Pearl’s features were naturally stunning. Her face was petite, her nose straight, and she was even

more beautiful than the female lead, Esther.

The girl was consumed by jealousy, wondering why she hadn’t been blessed with such beauty.

Esther angrily scolded, “Do you know who you’re talking to?”

“Who is she? She’s not an actress. She’s probably just a minor character like me…” The girl tried to

console herself, but the next revelation was a shock

“She’s our investor, the president of Brilliance-Pearl Leighton!”

“Investor? The girl went pale.
