A Shocking Piece of News


    I calmed myself down. “Was I too blunt? I just hate seeing you used this way.”


    She studied me, trying to determine if I was telling the truth.


    1 added, “Well, did she ever let you see As yourself? Has she ever treated you like As’s


    girlfriend?”


    Harmony’s face grew paler as she clenched her delicate hands.


    “If she thought you were his girlfriend, she would’ve let you see As instead of getting you toe


    here. Think about it! Her intentions weren’t pure!”


    There was another knock on the office door. I nced at Harmony and said, “Come in!”


    Carol entered, holding an invitation. “Ms. Chloe, this is an invite from the Builders Association for a


    party


    tomorrow night. Also, could you please sign this report? It’s urgent!”


    1 examined the report and asked Carol, “Have you double–checked this data?”


    “Yes!”


    I signed it and handed it back to Carol. Before Carol could leave, Eleanor entered. When she saw


    Harmony in the office, she hesitated.


    “I’lle backter!”


    “Is it urgent?” I asked.


    She nced at Harmony before saying, “Very urgent!”


    Harmony understood I was busy and said, “I’ll leave now. I won’t disturb you!”


    She looked at me disdainfully before reaching for her belongings. “You should at least walk me out,


    right?”


    “Oh! Of course!”


    I stood up and told Eleanor, “Please wait a moment. I have to see this celebrity off. Recognize her?


    She’s


    a big star that’s making waves!”


    Harmony smugly said, “I’ll give you credit for being polite!”


    saw her off at the elevator and said, “Try not to wander around like today. Be smarter next time.”


    Harmony scoffed as the elevator doors closed. I shrugged with a smile and returned to the office.


    Eleanor asked, “Who was that?”


    “A movie star. Didn’t you see her all dolled up?” I teased, “It’s a standard look for celebrities!”


    Eleanorughed. “I wondered why she didn’t look like someone from our field. That exins it!”


    She then updated me on her recent partnership negotiations. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly


    she had taken the reins.


    I asked Carol to find us a quiet restaurant. “Tonight, I’m treating Ms. Eleanor to dinner!”


    “With whom?” Carol asked.


    “Just the core team,” I said. Then I added, “Oh, and let’s enjoy ourselves too. Find a nice, fancy ce.”


    Just then, my phone rang. me space to answer the call. Grayson was


    oth of them stepped back alving


    on the line, bringing me shocking news.


    He revealed why the police were investigating Kennedy’s car ident. He was gripping a USB drive


    when


    they found him.


    However, what was on that drive remained a mystery. It was likely connected to his death, so it was


    safe


    to say someone had killed Kennedy.


    It sent chills down my spine, and I almost dropped my phone. My suspicions that he was murdered


    were


    correct. Who could it be? Celine?
