Beyond the Divorce

She Came on Her Own

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

office. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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 playfully, “What’s wrong with that? You should be honored that I came here. Not to brag, but many companies 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 playful 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 your company 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 flatter 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 intercom on my desk, “Ms. Harmony wants some coffee. We have as much coffee as you want. I guarantee our coffee is top–notch.”

She glanced 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 clarity, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I hadn’t laughed so heartily in a while. Still, I wondered why this

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 playfully 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’ve completed your task, right?”

I knew she didn’t come to me of her own accord. 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 to come here so excitedly.”

I knew Harmony was pretty innocent, and her strategies weren’t cunning. She wouldn’t openly claim Atlas 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?”
