Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 779

Was this the person in the picture?

The man noticed Esther standing there and approached her.

Esther finally regained her composure when he stood in front of her. "You're not an incel catfish."

"Incel catfish?" James Crawford looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean I'm not a catfish?"

Esther realized she had blurted something out and quickly explained, "Oh, it's nothing. It was just a slip of the tongue."

"Well, this slip can lead to misunderstandings," James replied.

Esther chuckled awkwardly.

Seeing Esther's difficulty in conversation, Pearl decided to step in."What's your name?"

James smiled and introduced himself, "I'm James Crawford."

The name sounded familiar to Pearl, and after a moment of thought, she realized that this was the well-known lawyer, James Crawford. Rumors had it that none of the cases he handled faced any issues, and none of his clients had ever lost a case in court.

"Mister Crawford, I've heard about you," she said.

Both of them were intelligent people, and they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

James could sense Pearl's disdain, but he didn't seem bothered by it and continued to smile. He had a way with words and could easily charm his way into anyone's heart.

Esther, who had been busy with her acting career, wasn't familiar with him. "What are you talking about?"

Pearl didn't elaborate further. "Never mind. The Crawford name is quite well-known. You'll find out more if you have the time." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The Crawfords were all outstanding individuals, and they were a family of lawyers.

Esther nodded as if she understood. "Then why is your dad an e-hailing driver?

James's smile froze. "That's his hobby. I don't know why either…"

Esther smiled. "That's okay. Well, now that we know each other, let's just be friends. Want to grab a drink? I just broke up with my boyfriend so I want to celebrate."

James blinked in surprise. "Really? You broke up with Mobius Waldorf?"

Esther remembered their engagement caused a stir and everyone knew about it, so she blushed. "Yes, I did."

"That's fine. You deserve better." James was tall, and he casually reached out to mess up her hair, which caught Esther off guard.

She took a few steps back. "Okay, enough talking. Let's get a drink."

Esther then pulled Pearl, who was looking alert, into the bar.

James followed them, wearing a wide smile and watching Esther's petite figure as she hurried ahead.

He had received a message from his dad about a girl who resembled the famous celebrity Esther asking about his son. Initially, he had asked his dad to reject the idea, but he later managed to

obtain a photo from her. Although it was taken from an odd angle, he could immediately recognize the girl he had admired for years.

The girl he had been secretly admiring was now single, and he wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away!
