"It’s fine... It’s fine," Harper said while patting Bella’s hand, which was holding hers and looking worried for her. "No need to worry about . I’ll definitely find my other half. I’m sure about that, but I just don’t know when."
Bella slightly nodded while smiling at Harper. She also wanted to see her best friend find happiness in her life.
"Harper, you need to lower your standards. You expect a partner with too high standards," Leo said, expressing deep concern for her. "Also, every man out there is afraid to approach you... you are too high to reach."
Harper took another deep breath.
She agreed with Leo. Nurous n she had encountered in the past were scared when they learned her last na, especially after they knew she was one of the significant shareholders in the RDF Group.
While,
n with the sa status as her are not her cup of tea. When she likes one of them, they are already taken or have soone they love.
Sigh!
Harper smiled bitterly as she looked at Leo for a few more seconds before she comnted.
"Well, Leo, when our friends married, I abandoned my high standards and pickiness. Well, I do not abandon them in their entirety. I was just adjusting them so it would be realistic. But trust ! I try to lower them but still fail to et soone my heart could open with..." She shrugged.
"Seriously, you don’t have soone you like? I an, soone you are interested in?" Bella asked in concern.
Now, Leo and everyone else there, including Sam, who earlier wasn’t interested in hearing their chat, focused on Harper and were curious about her answer.
Harper looked at them in return before finally responding to Bella’s question.
"I do have soone I like. But the problem is that person is not interested in . He is so freaking cold to every ti we et…" Harper paused to take a deep breath before she continued, shaking her head. "Well, I don’t have a chance with him. So I will just bury my interest in him."
"What the hell? Who is that person? How dare he look at you coldly?" Leo answered irritably. "Tsk, tsk, is there a problem with his eyes? How could he ignore a beautiful and kind woman like you?"
While Leo flared up hearing soone give Harper the cold shoulder, Bella doubted it.
"Harper, you may have misjudged him—"
"Huh!? What do you an, girl?" Harper asked.
"I an, maybe the person is worried that you will reject him; that’s why he didn’t make a move on you."
Harper slightly raised her eyebrow upon hearing Bella’s words.
Before Harper could say sothing, Bella continued, "You should try to approach him first and give him a sign to let him know that you are interested in him."
"Should I?" Harper felt puzzled after hearing Bella’s suggestion. But her confusion only lasted a few seconds. She couldn’t approach him without any proper reason.
Harper secretly scolded herself in her heart for daring to like that man. When she thought about forgetting that man, Bella managed to confuse her again.
"Well, my friend... of course, you must do it. Because it’s impossible for soone as beautiful and kind as you not to be noticed by n, right?" Bella smiled when she saw Harper’s confused expression.
Harper almost laughed, hearing Bella’s words.
"Gosh, Bella Donovan, if only you knew who that person was, you might agree with imdiately," Harper wanted to say. But she held it back. She didn’t dare to admit to everyone that the person she liked was Sean Spencer.
How embarrassing!
She had a crush on Sean from the first mont she saw him at Bella’s house in Sweden. At the ti, she buried her feelings for Sean because she knew he only had eyes for Bella.
However, when she heard that Bella had chosen Tristan, her buried crush on Sean slowly resurfaced, prompting her to fly to his city to look at him, even though she clearly understood Sean wouldn’t give her a chance.
"Dana, do you agree with ? Harper should try to express her feelings to that man, right?" Bella spoke again when she didn’t hear anything from Harper.
"Y-Yes..." Dana answered Bella’s question shyly. Then, she looked at Harper and said, "Sister, you should try to express your feelings to him. He might like you too."
This happens to her when she likes Leo; she is afraid to show and express her feelings and worries that Leo will not like her. She even worries that Leo will fire her from the company. But it turns out her fears were groundless; Leo liked her.
Suddenly, Harper’s laugh echoed, surprising them all with her reaction.
After her laugh subsided, she said, "Bella, Dana, you’re both right. Even though I know I don’t have a chance with him, I will try to speak to him. Thank you, guys, for giving courage..."
Harper didn’t know if this idea was right for her. She would go all out on Sean Spencer, asking him to give her a chance. It would be a blessing if he accepted, but if he rejected it, it didn’t matter. Better to try than not at all, right?
"Who is he? Do we know him?" Leo suddenly asked.
Instantly, Harper felt her throat go dry, as if she had just been teleported to the desert hearing Leo’s question.
"Harper, you can tell us the man’s identity," Bella also chid in. "Maybe we can help you get closer—" her words suddenly stopped when her cell phone vibrated.
She quickly checked the incoming text ssage, and the na on the screen surprised her.
[Sean] Bells, I’m in front of your house.
Bella quickly stood up from her chair, simultaneously confusing and worrying Leo and the others.
"What happened?" Leo couldn’t help but ask when he saw Bella suddenly stand from her seat after reading sothing on her cell phone.
"He’s arrived," Bella halted her step while looking at Leo.
"Who?" Harper asked while standing from her seat and approaching Bella. She was also curious to know.
"Sean—"
