Chapter 151
Esther’s face turned red with embarrassment. With her thoughts and feelings now exposed, things became
awkward.
“Alright, time to go. Pearl, would you like to join us?” Tyler seemed to have forgotten his recent behavior and appeared comfortable around Pearl.
“No, you go ahead.”
Tyler pouted, then turned and left.
Esther looked at Pearl’s calm expression and patted her shoulder. “I know you must feel bad after what happened. Don’t worry, the truth will come out and you’ll be vindicated.”
“I know.”
‘Anyway, since I snuck in here and can’t sit with them, why don’t you sit with me so we can talk?” Esther looked at her excitedly.
Pearl was about to decline when her phone started ringing. Wayne called to inform her that an urgent matter required his attention at the office, so he wouldn’t be able to drink with her.
“See, even your friend can’t hang out with you now. You might as well keep me company!”
Esther then dragged Pearl to a table not too far away and took a seat. She sat there with her chin resting on her hands, gazing at Mobius, who was in a dark corner.
“Este, what do you see in Mobius?” Pearl was curious how a proud woman like Esther could be attracted to a hothead like Mobius. The first time she met him, she almost felt like strangling him.
“Oh, me?” Esther had to go far back into the past. “The first time I met him wasn’t when he saved me. I’ve actually known him earlier than that.”
Pearl paused, surprised to learn of their longer relationship.
“I first met him two years ago when I was fifteen and hadn’t debuted yet. I was just a trainee in my agency, and I wasn’t a good dancer, so the trainer scolded me a lot. I even got beaten up and had bruises all over. I was very upset, so I went to cry by a lake behind the office.”
There was a touch of bittersweetness in her voice as she reminisced.
“That was when I met him. He was sixteen and attended a high school near my agency. One day, while I was crying by the lake, I bumped into him.”
As Esther recounted the story, an image began to form in Pearl’s mind. “So, he comforted you, and that’s when you developed feelings for him?”
Esther thought about it and chuckled. “No, not really. He thought I was trying to drown myself in the lake, so he pulled me out. In reality, I had just sl*pped because it was sl*ppery there. After he saved me, he gave me a good scolding, but I found it endearing.”
Pearl couldn’t help but twitch her l*ps. Their story was certainly unique.
“What happened after that?”

Esther propped her chin on her hand. “He left after that, but he told me not to give up on life and to live it to the fullest, I didn’t know his name until he saved me again. That’s when I felt it was destiny. He’s not getting away from me.”
Pearl was surprised. “He doesn’t remember you?”
“He doesn’t.” Esther looked sad. “He had no idea who I was, so when I grabbed him, he thought I was some crazy person and told me to stay away from him.”
“Your brother knows the Waldorfs, but you don’t know Mobius?”
Esther rolled her eyes. “Tsk. All he does with the Waldorfs is party and get drunk. I’m not into that. This is my first time drinking, and it’s actually quite fun.”
She looked around, then winked discreetly.” Pearl, I want to drink. Can you keep it a secret from my brother?

“You can’t if you’re underaged.”
