Harriet did not come to the villa to disturb me up until the day we were to leave for Jarlston, and this elicited a sigh of relief from me.
It was likely because her manager, Lola, had persuaded her.
Shannon and I were waiting for the two of them to come over to the airport, but we did not see anyone for a long time. "Shannon, why don't you call and ask them?"
“Alright."
Shannon took out her phone and called Lola. "Hi, Miss Lola. Why are you and Miss Osborn not here yet? We're at the airport."
"Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot to inform you that Harriet wanted to go by herself, so she won’t be traveling with you. She should have boarded the plane by now. I still have some things to deal with here and will head over later."
"I understand."
Shannon frowned after hanging up the call. “Seriously. She didn’t even give us prior notice that she wanted to go by herself!"
I patted her on the shoulder and smiled slightly. "It's okay. Let's go in."
"Unexpectedly, her elegance and dignity are all just for the cameras. She’s a monster behind them." Shannon complained about Harriet while walking.
I looked around. "Let's be more cautious in public."
"It's because we’re in public that I’m not naming names. I get to satisfy my urge to gossip, but no one has to know. Aren’t I smart?" Shannon raised her brow at me with a smug expression on her face.
I covered my mouth and chuckled as I shook my head helplessly. "Alright, alright. Let’s check in."
While we were queuing up to scan our tickets, Shannon suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, isn't Theo also going to Jarlston today? Why aren’t you two together?"
I looked up at her and smiled softly. "I'm not a person who prioritizes my love life over friends. Of course, I’m going to go with my good friend."
"You’re a great friend!" She gave me a thumbs-up.
