"I don't want to, but our partnership isn’t over. If she becomes unhappy and causes trouble later, won't our efforts during this time be wasted?" I looked at Theo with anticipation in my eyes, waiting for him to agree.
Theo looked up at me and agreed, likely pressured by my burning gaze. "So be it, but let’s not stay for too long."
"As long as we attend. There’ll be so many people there. No one will notice if we leave early." I breathed a sigh of relief after he agreed.
I did not actually want Theo to go with me, but considering Harriet’s character, she might cause trouble if I did not bring him along. Regardless, it was just a birthday party. There should not be any problems with us just showing our faces.
Thinking of this, my heart was much more settled.
In the blink of an eye, the time came for Harriet's birthday.
I arrived at the scene with Theo.
A lot of people came, most of them friends from her circle. At a glance, they were all handsome men and women. It was a rarity to see such a crowd at a banquet.
I saw Shannon waving at me from afar, and I led Theo forward. "You guys are finally here. Look, most of Harriet's guests are insiders, all models, singers, directors, and producers she knows. I guess she invited them all just as long as they were in Whaldorf City. Some of them are even companies she has worked with."
I glanced around as Shannon introduced me. "They're all big names."
"Yeah. However, I just learned secretly that some people don't, in fact, have a good impression of Harriet. They came just to maintain superficial feelings."
This was the norm in the entertainment industry. One had very few close friends.
I sighed and shook my head helplessly. "We won't get involved. Theo and I plan to leave in a while. How about you?"
