Chapter 367: Meeting Harmony
Hayley’s POV:
Christine nodded eagerly and said, “Of course, I want to go. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to get tickets.”
I quickly responded, “Trust me, you’ll definitely get tickets. Don’t worry about that. Instead, think about what you’ll say to your idol when you meet her, or what you’d like to do.”
Christine furrowed her brow and told me, “Hayley, you’ve really got me stumped with this question. Even though I’ve lost my memories, the moment I hear Harmony’s name, a surge of excitement rushes back. It makes me realize that my love for Harmony is genuine, straight from the heart. If I meet Harmony right now, I honestly don’t know how I’ll react!”
I watched her worried expression and smiled, ruffling her hair. “Alright, take your time thinking about it. Now go sit down and focus on class.”
Christine murmured an okay and hurried back to her seat.
As for me, I had missed a few days of lessons, so I focused on catching up on my work as best as I could. Time flew by, and before I knew it, half a month had passed. During that time, the school organized a wolf combat training session. As an Omega, I naturally ended up at the bottom of the rankings. But because of the honors I had earned in previous tennis and math competitions, no one mocked me.
Finally, school was over, and Christine and I walked together to the school gate. Today, however, Christine seemed hesitant, as though she wanted to say something but held back.
I asked her directly, “Christine, is there something you want to tell me?”
Christine quickly shook her head and said, “No, nothing at all.”
Though I found her behavior strange, I didn’t push her further. “Alright, I’ll head home now. See you tomorrow!”
Christine waved at me as I turned to leave.
Christine’s POV:
After watching Hayley leave, I quickly pulled out my phone and made a call. “Hayley’s in the car now! Are you ready on your end?”
After hanging up, I stepped to the side of the road, flagged down a taxi, and left quickly.
Hayley’s POV:
On the way home, I was handling some matters related to the Shadow Pack remotely. There was one issue I had been struggling with for a while, unable to find a solution. The car abruptly stopped and shifted to the side of the road.
“What’s going on? What happened?” I asked, startled.
“Ms. Carson, the car broke down. I’m calling a repair crew now. We might be a little late getting home,” the driver explained.
“It’s fine. I’ve got a problem I still need to solve. I’ll just do some homework while we wait,” I said casually, focused on finding a solution.
It wasn’t until I figured out a solution and told Thomas to handle it that I closed my laptop and stretched. As it was getting dark and the repair crew still hadn’t arrived, I began to feel uneasy.
“Why hasn’t anyone shown up yet?” I asked the driver.
He seemed a bit nervous. “I checked the car again, and it seems there’s nothing wrong with it. We can head back now.”
I sighed in frustration and stayed silent. The driver started the car, and I looked out the window at the scenery. Before long, the car smoothly pulled into the estate garage.
But today, something felt off. The estate was eerily quiet, and even the lights that were usually on at night were off. Since Hera hadn’t given me any warnings, I wasn’t overly concerned.
I opened the car door and stepped out, noticing that the driver had already driven away. Not thinking too much about it, I made my way toward the front door. I unlocked it, pressed the switch inside, and the large entryway immediately lit up. But the house was unsettlingly quiet.
“Gloria, are you home?” I called out to the housekeeper, but there was no answer. Just then, the lights leading to the backyard flickered on. Curious, I walked over toward them.
