Chapter 533
It wasn’t surprising that Damian looked exceptionally good and was a lot taller than the average man. His mother had been one of Bodgow’s top four beauties in her prime, and his father came from a well–off family there. It was only natural that their son turned out so well.
As Pearl observed his faint smile, her heart skipped a beat, and she remembered a poem: “The beautiful stranger was like black opal; rare and incomparable.”
“Why are you staring? It’s been years, and you’re still mesmerized by my looks?” Damian remarked without a blush. With broad shoulders, long legs, and striking features, no one could deny his self–assured statement.
Pearl scoffed and took a sip from her glass. “Mesmerized? I was just thinking, what’s the point of looking so good? It’s rather pointless.”
Damian’s most obvious trait was his good looks, something that made many people envious. However, it was something he cared little about; in fact, he even disliked how good–looking he was.
Hearing Pearl’s comment, Damian’s expression soured, and he was about to give her a piece of his mind when someone suddenly joined them.
“Pea, Wayne, Dame, sorry I’m late. Got held up,” Feather said, appearing beside them.
Damian didn’t want to call Pearl out in front of everyone, Wayne looked disappointed, and Pearl shot him an angry glare.
“By the way, I need to ask you something.” Pearl pulled Feather to sit next to her and fired off questions. “What’s going on between you and Hanzel? Why have you been spending so much. time together? Is he threatening you?”
Feather looked helpless. “I don’t know what’s gotten into him. Lately, he keeps wanting to see me, asking me to play sports with him, or go shopping. He even asked me to be his manager. I had a bit too much to drink one night, and he got my thumbprint. Now, I’m… his manager.”
Pearl froze. “Are you saying you two signed an agreement in my company without my knowledge? Does Clem know about this?”
Pearl’s head was pounding. If that scoundrel Hanzel had taken an interest in Feather, given his reputation as a playboy, he would likely grow tired of her soon and cast her aside. No way was Pearl going to allow that to happen!
Feather smiled awkwardly. “By the time Mister Clem found out, it was too late. The agreement was already signed. Hanzel insisted I become his manager, threatening to quit otherwise. Mister Clem just laughed and accepted it.”
“What do you think about this?” Pearl stared at Feather intensely, her gaze piercing.
“I don’t know how to turn him down.”
Feather suddenly remembered Hanzel getting a bit tipsy and pulling her sleeve, saying he wanted to buy her some new clothes. “You only wear black, white, and grey all the time. Don’t you ever feel like adding some color to your wardrobe? Let’s go. I’ll buy you some nicer clothes. You’re an adult now so you should wear more colorful outfits.”

Feather didn’t resist and found him amusing. He dragged her to the nearest boutique, and when the owner mentioned closing time, he casually handed over a card, claiming it had 700 thousand and that he intended to buy the entire store. The password was six eights.
The owner was stunned and rushed to the nearest bank to verify. To ensure Hanzel couldn’t change his mind, she handed him the shop’s keys and flew away, leaving Hanzel and Feather very much ainused.
“This is my first time buying clothes for a woman… Hiccup. Try on some clothes. You see, I’m the Best Actor, and my taste… Hiccup… is impeccable…”
Even if that were true, why did he choose a boutique for children’s clothing?
Afterward, Hanzel dozed off on the store’s floor. Feather was going to tease him when he woke up, but she couldn’t leave him there. So, she sat with him until the sun came up.
