Chapter 239


    Mobius walked into the university without looking back.


    “Look at the guy you like! He doesn’t even respect you, and he’s so arrogant. Honestly, you should


    have moved on from him a long time ago,” Lifting his head, Esther’s cousin blew at his bangs in a


    somewhat gangster-like fashion, but he still managed to look handsome.


    “Why did you have to provoke him like that, cousin?” Gloomy, Esther felt that it was her cousin’s fault


    that Mobius had left in


    a huff.


    “Would he have shown that he cared about you if I hadn’t provoked him? Alright, I’m going back to


    ss now. Tell my mother that I didn’t skip ss,” Esther’s cousin replied before turning and heading


    into the university.


    When Esther turned around and saw Pearl and Richard standing nearby, she was stunned. “What are


    you doing here?”


    Hearing that, Pearl burst intoughter. “We wouldn’t have witnessed such a strange misunderstanding


    if we hadn’t been here.


    “Oh, you heard all that…” Esther blushed and lowered her head, feeling embarrassed that they had


    seen her lie to Mobius with


    her cousin.


    “Mobius has a quick temper, and he can be harsh with his words. You’ll need to figure out ways to deal


    with him if you want to be his girlfriend,” Pearl advised, trying to encourage Esther.


    Esther nodded. “Got it. But Pearl, I need your help with something.”


    “What is it?”


    Esther hesitated before exining, “Well, it’s my eighteenth birthday next Wednesday, and I’d like to


    invite Mobius to my birthday party. Can you help ask him toe?”


    “Why don’t you invite him yourself?”


    Esther sighed. “I’ve tried approaching him several times, but he doesn’t want to see me. Please help


    me, Pearl, I really want


    him to be there.”


    Pearl agreed to help Esther with her request. After saying goodbye to Esther, Pearl and Richard


    returned to Waldorf Enterprises.


    Richard immediately convened a meeting with thepany’s executives and formally appointed Pearl

    as the vice president.


    Sophia, who had been recently promoted to the design director role, was the first to express her


    reservations. Pearl had only been with thepany for a short time, and Sophia felt that her promotion


    was againstpany rules.


    “I’m not sure about this, Mister Richard.” Sophia hesitated, “Pearlcks experience in this role, and


    she’s not even an employee here. Promoting her to vice president so suddenly might not be in line with


    Pearl had long anticipated that kind of statement from Sophia. Smiling, she said, “You’re mistaken,


    Miss Sophia. Didn’t you also get promoted from a regr employee to the design director position not


    too long ago? And it’s not like you earned your promotion solely based on your qualifications. You


    simply took advantage of the situation. It’s no surprise that you fail to see the bigger picture.”


    Pearl’s sharp retort left Sophia pale and flustered. “You’ve crossed the line, Pearl. I earned my


    promotion based on my qualifications. Moreover, I graduated from the top design school in Enswood


    with honors. I am more than qualified to be the design director.”


    Sophia’s confidence was apparent when she mentioned her academic achievements. She believed her


    qualifications made her the rightful design director and was unapologetic about it.
