Harmony's voice was trembling slightly. "Sir... Sir..."
She had received news that 'he' would attend the annual dinner that night. However, there was no sign of him ever since she arrived at the venue.
He should have been seated with the other guests of honor if he had been present.
She therefore assumed that he was busy with something or had other reasons for being absent.
It never occurred to her that he would show up, but perhaps he had kept a low profile all along and did not reveal his identity.
An extreme sense of dread came over Harmony's expression.
In that case, had he been around to watch her resounding failure when her plot against Samantha ended up biting her back?
"Sir, I..." Harmony eagerly wanted to explain herself.
The man opened his lips and interrupted her. "Get up."
There was a hollowness to his voice that somehow made him feel detached and untouchable from everyone else.
