Chapter 1006:

Harlee arched an eyebrow, her gaze laced with playful mischief.

“Brenton, even you dislike work so much. Why on earth would you think I’d enjoy it?”

Brenton sighed, his shoulders slumping, disappointment clear on his face.

As Harlee turned to leave, he called after her, “Hey, what about once a month?” Harlee’s help in dealing with the troublemakers in the company once a month would allow him to focus on corporate battles against competitors.

“Once every three months,” Harlee shot back over her shoulder without pausing.

Brenton chuckled, watching her retreat.

“Three months, huh? Better than nothing, I suppose.”

Later that evening, Harlee made a trip to Tonya’s villa, where they went over a few actionable strategies.

Before leaving, Harlee casually mentioned her plan to involve Rhys.

“I wouldn’t expect anything less!” Tonya exclaimed, clearly impressed. She had been worried that Harlee might let emotions cloud her judgment, but instead, Harlee had emerged sharper, ready to wring every ounce of utility out of Rhys.

Thinking back to recent events, Tonya hesitated before asking, “By the way, what’s your plan for Noel?” Harlee blinked, confused.

“Plan? What plan?”

Tonya sighed.

“Your engagement with Noel.

Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten.”

Harlee’s expression faltered briefly. Truthfully, she had completely forgotten. In fact, she hadn’t spoken to Noel in days.

Clearing her throat, she rubbed her nose awkwardly and muttered, “Well… I guess I’ll find some time to take him out for dinner. You know, as a thank you for his help with the act.”

Tonya facepalmed.

For all of Harlee’s brilliance, her emotional awareness was practically nonexistent.

With a resigned shake of her head, Tonya leaned in and gave her friend a playful tap on the forehead.

“Harlee, you really ought to consider those around you.”

Harlee’s brow furrowed, baffled. Since when did Tonya start spouting cryptic remarks?

Tonya caught the confusion in her friend’s expression and sighed inwardly.

Harlee was utterly clueless—not only about Noel’s feelings but also about who Tonya was hinting at.

With a teasing smile, Tonya tapped her index finger against Harlee’s temple and said lightly, “Honestly, if I didn’t spell it out for you, would you ever figure out that Noel is head over heels for you?”

Harlee froze in disbelief. Noel? Interested in her? That couldn’t be true. They were simply acquaintances—a doctor and patient, maybe occasional companions. She was closer to Robbie than she’d ever been to Noel. Why would Noel feel that way about her?

Tonya stared at Harlee, sighing.

Hopeless.
