Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1187

The woman angered so many people; who would dare to shop on her behalf?

Esther couldn't help but laugh. "You're something else, Pearl. Looks like she'll have to shop at the wholesale market now."

Pearl shrugged and picked up her cup of coffee. "Not my problem. She's free to shop wherever she pleases."

"Talk about freedom," Esther laughed again. But it didn't sound like real freedom. "And how did you manage to get all those brands to make that announcement?"

Pearl seemed to have a lot of influence. Normally, it would take ages to get a response from those companies.

"It was easy. They just know who they shouldn't mess with."

Esther put her hands to her chest. "You're amazing, Pearl. If I were a guy, I'd definitely try to win you over.

Pearl was speechless, thinking, 'Silly girl.'

After their chat, Esther went back to filming her TV shows.

Pearl didn't have much on her plate and, since she was about to have a book signing event, decided to set it up near where Esther was filming. She was basically there to keep an eye on the filming process. Normally, Pearl wouldn't attend book signings or would have someone else sign the books for her. This was the first time she appeared in person as Pea, mostly because Finnegan had outed her.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Her book was a hit, so many people came to the signing. But with a big crowd, there were bound to be some troublemakers.

While Pearl was signing books, a big man in his thirties with a gold chain rushed toward her. His expression looked crazed as he exclaimed, "I'm a huge fan, Pea. Can I shake your hand?"

The man seemed to have bad intentions. Seeing the lecherous look in his eyes, Pearl felt uncomfortable but couldn't refuse in front of the crowd.

She reached out her hand, but the man sniffed it creepily.

"You smell so good, Pea."

Pearl quickly pulled her hand back, disgusted. "You shook my hand so can you move now?"

But the man didn't leave. Instead, he asked for more. "How about a hug? Just a quick one, and I'll go."

Pearl didn't want this man anywhere near her. She smiled politely and shook her head. "We don't do that here."

The man's friendly face turned angry. "Just asking for a hug, and you're making it a big deal? Who do you think you are? Too good for a hug?"

Pearl was amused and just glanced at the security guard next. "Could we have this man escorted out, please?"

"How dare you throw me out? I paid to be here!" the man protested, waving his book in the air.
