Chapter 355: Scenes Related to Harmony

Hayley’s POV:

Hearing him say that, I forced myself to stay calm and tried to act nonchalant. “There are so many people in this world; it’s no surprise some of them look alike.”

Christopher seemed like he wanted to say something else, but Christine spoke up, shifting the topic.

“Hayley, you’re really good at playing the guitar,” she said, giving me a thumbs-up. “I don’t know why, but when I hear you play, so many images related to Harmony just pop into my mind. They’re scattered, but they really stick with me,” she added thoughtfully.

“Oh? What do you remember?” I asked, intrigued.

Christine shook her head with a sigh. “I think it’s because I’m just an Omega, so it takes me longer to recover.”

I gave her a reassuring smile and comforted her. “It’s okay. Take your time. One day, you’ll remember everything.”

“By the way, are you going back to school?” I asked, changing the subject.

Christine nodded eagerly. “I had to leave in such a rush that I didn’t handle all the paperwork, but it saved me lots of work. I should be back at school next week.”

“That’s great!” I said, genuinely pleased for her.

I stayed at Christine’s house until late, reluctant to leave. Christopher had to remind me several times before I finally left.

On the drive back, Christopher asked, “When did you learn to play the guitar? I don’t remember you ever mentioning it before.”

I turned my head to look at him and casually replied, “Oh, it was a long time ago. I just haven’t played in a while, so it’s a bit rusty.”

“Really? I can tell you’re good at it,” he said, sounding sincere. “I think your style is really similar to Harmony’s. Even though you’re just an Omega, your ability to mimic is incredible,” he continued.

“I bet you really like Harmony, don’t you? I’ve tried to meet her a few times, but I haven’t found the right opportunity. She doesn’t seem too interested in meeting me.”

As he mentioned this, Christopher looked a little frustrated.

“My manager has reached out to Harmony a few times, but we still haven’t been able to set up a meeting. She’s just as mysterious as the rumors say,” he sighed, shaking his head.

Hearing him keep prying about Harmony, I furrowed my brows and asked, “Do you need something from her?”

“Nothing serious. I just wanted to learn a thing or two from a master,” he said casually.

Then he asked, “I can tell you’re probably a fan of Harmony too. If I ever meet her, I’ll definitely get an autograph for you.”

Lowering my head, I didn’t know what to say. Should I tell him that I am Harmony?

I hesitated for a moment, then scratched my car awkwardly. “I–I don’t think I need that.”

Christopher didn’t catch the odd tone in my voice and kept going. “It’s okay if you don’t want an autograph. If I meet her, maybe I can take you along and you can see her in person.”

I nodded, then asked, “Do you really want to meet her?”

Christopher gave me a soft smile and answered seriously. “To be honest, I wasn’t all that interested at first. But she’s so mysterious, you know? People are naturally drawn to things that are hard to understand. The more mysterious something is, the more you want to know about it.”

“So I just want to understand the person behind the mystery. That’s all,” he added with a shrug.

“She’s so talented. Do you think she might be one of those powerful Alphas?”

I couldn’t help but laugh at that idea.

“Well, I think one day, you’ll get your wish,” I said honestly.

Christopher thought I was trying to comfort him and replied casually. “I hope so! But don’t worry; if I ever meet her, I’ll definitely take you with me. I’ll help you fulfill your fan dream.”

I smiled and nodded. He seemed to be in a much better mood now, and with a grin, he pressed the gas pedal, speeding up as we headed home.

Once we arrived, Christopher turned off the engine, and I opened the car door to step out. As soon as I walked inside, I spotted Benjamin’s jacket hanging on the coat rack. A surge of happiness ran through me, but Hera didn’t seem overly excited. I couldn’t tell if Benjamin had really come back or not.

I quickly asked, “Gloria, has Benjamin come back?”

Gloria replied, “Ms. Hayley, the alpha hasn’t returned yet.”

Instantly, I felt a wave of disappointment. It had been days since I last saw Benjamin, and I had no idea what he had been up to.

“Ms. Hayley, is there anything else you need?” Gloria asked.

I shook my head and said, “No, I’m just going upstairs.”

Once in my room, I took out my phone and called Benjamin, but the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. I sighed and hung up, tossing my phone aside. Sitting at the vanity, I began to remove my makeup. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I froze, suddenly remembering something. After a moment of deep thought, I grabbed my phone again and dialed Thomas’s number.
