She Came on Her Own


    Yesterday, Ivanna told me that Ste had visited Harmony. Today, I was surprised to see Harmony at


    my


    office.


    I leaned into my office chair as I watched Harmony saunter in. I smirked and said, “Hey, Ms. Harmony,


    did you wander into the wrong office? Although we’re neighbors, we have no business together.”


    Harmony responded yfully, “What’s wrong with that? You should be honored that I came here. Not to


    brag, but manypanies want to hire me.”


    stood up with a bright smile, walked out from behind my desk, and sat on the couch. After gesturing for


    Harmony to join me, I said, “You’re right. Since you’re a guest, please have a seat.”


    Harmony appeared yful and elegant as she sauntered to the couch. She put down her bag and put it


    aside. She looked at me and said, “I didn’t expect yourpany to be so well–organized. I


    underestimated you.”


    Her words made me see her in a different light. I was surprised that she dared to speak the truth. I


    agreed


    that she had underestimated me.


    I didn’t hide my dislike for her, saying, “You don’t have to tter me. I’m just a small business owner


    trying to make a living. I’m just a nobody to a famous person like you. Let’s talk.”


    Strangely, Harmony didn’t get angry this time. Instead, she casually asked, “What’s this? You don’t


    even offer me a cup of coffee? Is that how you treat your guests?”


    I raised an eyebrow, stood up, and confidently spoke into the inte on my desk, “Ms. Harmony


    wants some coffee. We have as much coffee as you want. I guarantee our coffee is top–notch.”


    She nced at me and said, “All right, don’t push it. I just want one cup.”


    For some reason, Harmony seemed much improved today. She looked like she had a newfound rity,


    and I couldn’t help butugh. I hadn’tughed so heartily in a while. Still, I wondered why this


    troublemaker visited since we weren’t friendly with each other.


    suspected Ste could have sent her to gather information. I observed Harmony and deliberately


    avoided asking her why she hade. I wanted to see what she would say.


    Meanwhile, Carol ced two cups of coffee on the table and left the office. I sipped mine but remained


    and observed Harmony. Finally, she grew ufortable and awkwardly drank her coffee

    irked and asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here?


    1 yfully responded, “Why the rush? You traveled all this way but haven’t mentioned your purpose


    yet. That’s unlike you. Besides, you can’t leave until you’vepleted your task, right?”


    I knew she didn’te to me of her own ord. She wasn’t cunning enough for that. Harmony


    laughed a few times before saying “I came here today to tell you some good news.”


    I kept my smile and sharp remarks, “We’re not close, so I can’t imagine what good news would require


    ou toe here so excitedly.”

    I knew Harmony was pretty innocent, and her strategies weren’t cunning. She wouldn’t openly im


    As was her boyfriend if she were crafty. So, I only provoked Harmony to make her lose control and


    unintentionally speak the truth.


    “Don’t be so pleased with yourself. You didn’t even ask what the good news is.” Harmony’s expression


    turned cold.


    I sensed the timing was right and asked, “I can tell it’s good news because of how excited you are. All


    right, spill the beans. Is the news about you or me?”
