"If I’m going to do something, I’ll do my best."
Harriet pursed her lips indifferently. She smiled when she met my firm gaze. "If I agree to endorse your company, will you accept any conditions, Miss Lane?"
"As long as I can."
"Then, what if I want you to divorce President Grant?"
Harriet's words startled me. How could she say such things?
Noticing my shock, Harriet laughed out loud. "I jest. Don't take it seriously. You were scared, weren't you, Miss Lane?”
Relieved, I looked up at her. She regained that friendly smile from before again, and I pulled away. "Then please think about it, Miss Osborn. We’ll take our leave first."
"Alright."
She watched us as we walked out the gate. After it closed, the weight in my heart also lifted.
However, there was something off with Shannon's expression. She pushed me, "Wada, do you think that what Harriet said was scary?"
"Which part?"
"That thing about Theo."
"It was a bit strange." I frowned. I was puzzled when she said that. She and Theo had only worked together once, so it was impossible for her to be harboring some secret love for Theo, right?
Shannon folded her hands across her chest, looking thoughtful. "I think there’s some trick to it. You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, we already have children. What’s there to be afraid of?"
Embracing Shannon, I led her to the car, and we left.
Now that we had approached Lola and talked to Harriet, we could only wait for the result.
