Absalom hurriedly put down his phone and yanked out his IV needle before running toward the door.Several nurses happened to walk into the room and saw his actions. They quickly stopped him.“Mr. Terran, what on earth are you doing?”“Why did you remove the IV needle?”Absalom frowned and did not answer. He swiftly went around the nurses and continued to head toward the door.However, the familiar figure had gone.There was no one in the corridor.“Harmonia, was that you?”Absalom’s heart ached, and his eyes turned red.…Harmonia returned to Hector’s room and talked with the others for a while. They only left when Hector needed to rest.With all the arrangements ready, a private car would send Hector to the airport tomorrow at noon, and he would take a private jet back to Nilus City.However, the group purchasing of housing projects was still ongoing.Harmonia had to stay and oversee the final touches alongside Louis, so she could not return to Nilus City with Hector.Ev
A somewhat familiar voice came from beside Harmonia.Harmonia turned and met a pair of scrutinizing eyes.“Mr. Martinez?” Harmonia did not expect to run into Dimas. “Are you also here for a blessing?”Dimas looked at the lucky charm in her hand.Not only did she secretly visit Absalom, but she also woke up early to get him a lucky charm that was blessed!Dimas’s expression did not change much and remained inscrutable.After a night of praying, he had finally managed to calm down. However, he started to feel agitated again and found it hard to find peace. A sense of anger was taking over him.“I came to listen to the sermon to calm down.”He explained why he came to St. Patrick’s Cathedral.Harmonia nodded and did not doubt him. He did seem like one who would do this.“Wear it.” Dimas removed his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.Harmonia frowned. Although her clothes were wet, she instinctively wanted to remove the jacket and decline his offer.Dimas noticed her
Dimas’s expression darkened, and his dark brown eyes had an unfathomable look in them.“Rio, investigate Hector.”“Understood.”Dimas fiddled with the beaded bracelet on his wrist and left.…Soon after, the plane took off.Harmonia and Safan returned home.Safan looked at the suit jacket she was wearing and asked, “Is it trendy for girls to wear men’s clothes these days?”Harmonia was taken aback and quickly looked down at the suit jacket she was wearing.It was only then that she realized she had forgotten to return it to Dimas.Seeing the curious expression on Safan’s face, Harmonia came up with a random explanation, “Yes, we love the oversized look now.”“Oh, is that so?” Safan saw through her lie but chose not to press her.Harmonia fell into deep thoughts and did not bicker with Safan. She thought of how to return the suit jacket to Dimas.She had no idea where he lived and did not have his number. But no matter what, she still needed to return it.An idea sparked i
When Harmonia saw the caller’s number, she was stunned for a while.Once she answered it, Dimas’s voice came through.“Is this your number?”“Yes,” Harmonia replied and then asked, “Mr. Martinez, can I buy you a new suit jacket to make up for damaging this one?”“Yes, you can.”“I’ll contact you when I return to Nilus City.”“Okay.”After hanging up, Dimas stood on the balcony and looked at Harmonia, who held his suit jacket in one hand and her phone in the other.He smiled and saved her number.He had finally gotten her number through valid means.…Harmonia put the suit jacket into a bag and decided to visit the booth.She took out her phone and opened BuildEasy.She was shocked to see 766 orders!There were only 766 households in the town interested in rebuilding. This meant that everyone was participating in the group purchase!Louis’s efficiency was truly remarkable!Marshtown Studio’s ranking had climbed to the fifteenth spot! BuildEasy’s rankings considered var
Then, Harmonia clutched her chest with one hand and used the other to support the booth table. She was shaking and breathing quickly, which drew everyone’s gaze.Soon, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up. She looked so pitiful that anyone’s heart would ache for her.When Blaed’s parents saw this, they exchanged bewildered glances, and their eyes widened in confusion.Louis was shocked and rushed to support Harmonia.And then, Harmonia went along the flow and fainted.“Harmonia! Harmonia!” Louis panicked and tried to wake her up.Harmonia lightly pulled on Louis’s sleeve to signal that her fainting was just an act. Louis got the message and started crying intensely the very next second.“Harmonia, wake up! What happened? Please don’t scare me!” Louis’s voice choked with sobs.“It must be their fault! How could they bully a young woman like you?! It’s absolutely outrageous!”Louis shouted and cried.Blaed, the hooligan, had died, so the locals did not have to be afraid o
Buzz!“Welcome to our second-hand car platform, where no intermediaries are taking a cut!”The voice of the robotic customer service agent sounded.Harmonia was browsing Pinecone Second-Hand Cars, a popular website for buying and selling cars.Safan shouted, “You want to sell cars?!”“Yeah.” Harmonia nodded.“Did you lose money on your group purchasing of housing projects?” Safan looked at her and asked.She shook her head. “The project adopts the small profits and quick returns strategy, so I won’t lose money.”“In that case, why do you want to sell your cars?”“During the renovation of the Empyrean Tower, we need to make advance payments and maintain sufficient working capital in our accounts. I also intend to expand the studio’s size, so I’m selling a few cars to generate some funds.” She could always repurchase the cars she sold, but the opportunities she missed would be lost forever!Within a month, the studio had to secure a spot within the top ten rankings to get a c
Safan knew that the fire at Empyrean Tower nine years ago was not as simple as it appeared.If Harmonia investigated the truth, she would be in danger.Safan was worried about Harmonia’s safety. Still, he did not want Peter’s death to be in vain! He was torn and could not make a decision.…That night, Harmonia sat by the windowsill while reading Peter’s notebook.She read every word and every manuscript very carefully and examined even the tiniest details closely.Suddenly, her phone started buzzing and interrupted her train of thought.She picked up her phone and found that Alessia had sent her numerous messages.[Harmonia, you’re trending again!][Check it out! Who’s the guy taking shelter from the rain with you?][I’m not sure who first spotted you in that photo. It just went viral and soon started trending.][But I did some digging on the guy who took it. It turned out to be a photographer who accidentally took the photo while hiking.]…Harmonia clicked on the tren
“I can only identify the words ‘rain’ and ‘eaves.’”Rio moved the paper away and complained, “You don’t even know how to read! Just get on with your tasks!”The bodyguard scratched his head and hurriedly left.Rio looked at the words and shook his head as he also could not read them.…The next day, the group purchasing of the housing projects came to a successful conclusion. Louis and several local construction teams had lengthy discussions and negotiations. In the end, when they learned that it was Harmonia who owned the studio, they gradually agreed.Even though they faced restrictions after joining Marshtown Studio, such as not being able to take on freelance jobs elsewhere, they did not need to worry about having no work during the off-season. In fact, for them, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.Besides, Harmonia had thoughtfully adjusted their contracts to ensure they would earn more than before.After three days, six local construction teams officially sig
