2025-10-21 17:55:21Harry pulled up in front of his agency and it was a lot bigger than he thought, it had an intricate design that exuded elegance with top-class infrastructure.
It stood out compared to other buildings surrounding it, not because it was flashier, but it just had a unique design, but then again this was one of the more expensive parts of Crestview city. Harry realized only after he arrived that he should have bought something fancy to wear so that he could leave a good first impression. The clothes he wore weren't a reflection of his new man of means status, anyone could easily mistake him for an average bum. Harry exited the car and Rita was already waiting outside to welcome him. When Harry left the car, Rita was surprised that he looked like the average college student and not her new boss. He didn't look elegant or classy and this only made her mistake this as a sign of humility and not the fact that he was just a poor student only a few hours ago. "Good day sir, I have come to personally welcome you to Savour Agency," Rita greeted with a smile but Harry was surprised that this was a genuine smile. She was truly glad to see him prompting him to wonder why but this was an insignificant detail. "Thank you…" Harry said, pausing abruptly as he looked at her name tag. "Rita, are you the one in charge of this agency?" Harry questioned but this only made Rita blush at the thought of him thinking she could hold that position not knowing that Harry was oblivious as to how a CEO should look. "I'm afraid I am not the CEO, Sir. But the CEO has been expecting you," Rita responded as she led the way. "Alright," Harry responded, he didn't know what else to say or do as he was still shocked that this was happening. Harry entered the building and the fragrance that invaded his nostrils sent him into a trance. ‘This place is so fucking fancy!’ Harry thought to himself as he was led to an office at the end of a corridor. "Miss Susan will see you now," Rita said but she emphasized the Miss as if subtly telling Harry she was single. However, Harry wasn't paying enough attention to pick up on this. He was still processing everything that was happening. Harry made his way into the room and to his surprise, there sat a woman in a light blue uniform top with a black shirt just above her knee, exposing a little bit of her thighs in the process with long socks and high heels. But the thing that got Harry's attention was how her shirt was barely able to keep those big melons on her chest in place without the buttons popping off. Harry gulped hard as he stepped inside the room, there was a transparent table separating them. ‘That was an interesting choice,’ he thought to himself. She got up the moment Harry entered, he was officially her boss and what he did to the agency was up to him however this was her moment to show him her vision. "Mr Farrow! So nice to meet you, I'm Susan!" Susan greeted, stretching her hand for a handshake. She was confident no doubt but this didn't scare Harry, he had met women like her at school and at his various jobs and they all had one thing in common, they were all stuck-up bitches. And Harry knew she was no different from them, the only reason she was like this was due to his position and it wasn't a reflection of who she was. “Susan, that's a fine name but I would like for us to get down to business," Harry knew he had to make a strong first impression. "O-Of course, please sit," Susan stammered, she didn't know why but just as Harry knew how important a first impression was, so did Susan. "You don't need to be so nervous, I'm not Count Dracula or anything nightmares are made of," Harry made a silly joke, trying his best to break the evident tension in the air. Susan was embarrassed that he noticed that, even if Harry didn't have the skill granted by the system, he would still have spotted this without a doubt. "I'm sorry, Sir," Susan quickly apologized. Harry thought she was a powerful woman when he walked in here but she was awfully submissive right now. "I have to ask you something that has been nagging at me since I came in here. Why the transparent table?" Harry couldn't hold his curiosity as it was a bizarre choice, to say the least. "The motto of Savour Agency is transparency so this is a literal demonstration that we hide nothing," Susan responded, she knew how corny this sounded but it was a clever marketing strategy. "Ah, that is pretty smart! Now that is how you get the client!" Harry was a little more excited than he should have been and Susan blushed as she didn't expect this enthusiastic reaction from him. If anything, she expected him to point out how corny it was but upon closer examination, this man was way younger than her. She kept her mouth shut as he carefully examined the document before him, thanks to the ability he had gotten from his system, he could remember everything he read almost to a fault even though he didn't quite understand what it was exactly he was reading. He immediately thought of how this would help him during tests and exams. "You know what Susan? How about I leave the technical issues to you, keep running it how you have been running and if you need anything, give me a call," Harry encouraged her and this was the best case scenario considering this allowed her to retain control over the agency without doing much of the work that comes with it. Harry snuck a peak at her chest once again when she was putting away the documents before averting his gaze. ‘Things that big should be a tourist attraction…’ Harry thought to himself. [Savour Agency Status Change: Congratulations, you just entered the top 1,000 promising modelling agency!] ‘Well, not bad I guess,’ Harry thought to himself while exiting the building. He stood and stared at the sign, wondering if he should change the name to something that speaks more to him as he didn't even know why it was called Savour. "Move it!" A voice barked at him from behind but Harry recognized this voice without even turning around. "Alicia?" Harry muttered under his breath.

Chapter 549. The FINALE
The backyard was full again by seven, but this time nobody had to pretend it was a casual afternoon. Anna had hung paper lanterns from the fence the night before, badly, and half of them sagged in the middle. Nobody fixed them. They looked better crooked.Melissa kept holding her left hand out in front of her when she thought no one was looking, tilting it to catch the light. Harry caught her doing it twice and pretended he hadn't.Rhiannon came through the side gate at seven thirty with a duffel bag over her shoulder and no warning at all. She had told everyone she couldn't make it, that the schedule wouldn't allow it, and she had lied to every single one of them. Anna screamed. Melissa dropped a tray of glasses onto the grass, and nothing broke, which Rhiannon called a sign."Seven hours of flying," she said, hugging Melissa so hard her feet left the ground. "I'm wearing the same shirt as yesterday. I regret nothing."Harry watched them from across the yard and had to look at the gr
Chapter 548. Inevitable
Harry carried the ring around for eleven days before he did anything with it.It sat in the inside pocket of his jacket, a small box he'd picked out alone on a weekday afternoon, standing at a jewelry counter feeling like a kid pretending to be an adult. The woman behind the counter had shown him three rings worth more than his first car and he'd politely pointed at a fourth one, thin and simple, with a small stone that caught the light without trying too hard. It was the one Melissa would have picked herself. He'd known it the second he saw it.He didn't tell anyone. Not Wren, not Anna, not even Dr. Gail, though she'd probably guessed. He just carried it, and every morning he woke up thinking today might be the day, and every night he went to bed having decided it wasn't quite yet. The platform had changed something. Saying all of it out loud, the worst night of his life and every ugly choice that came after, had cleared a space in him he hadn't known was blocked. Once it was clear
Chapter 547. His Mother, His Father, Himself
The cemetery sat on a quiet hillside outside the city, the kind of place Harry visited maybe twice a year now, not out of obligation exactly, more out of a settled habit that had replaced the raw, unbearable grief he used to feel standing in front of this particular stone. His mother's name was carved plainly into it, no elaborate epitaph, nothing that tried to explain away what had happened to her. Just her name, and two dates, and the quiet dignity of being remembered honestly instead of prettied up for anyone else's comfort. He sat on the grass beside the stone for a while, not saying anything out loud, just letting himself exist near her the way he did on these visits. A year of distance had changed something in how he carried this particular grief. It didn't ambush him anymore, didn't flatten him the way it used to in unguarded moments. It had settled into something he could hold steadily, sad and permanent, without it derailing the rest of his day. He thought about her ins
Chapter 546. Everyone He Hurt, Everyone He Helped
Dr. Gail's office looked the same as it always had, the same window overlooking the same unremarkable parking lot, though Harry came less often now, maybe once every couple months instead of the weekly sessions that had gotten him through the worst of the aftermath. This particular visit hadn't been scheduled around any crisis. He'd just called and asked if she had time, feeling some quiet need to sit somewhere honest and take stock of things properly before whatever came next in his life actually arrived."You seem different today," Dr. Gail said, settling into her chair. "Not upset. Just thoughtful in a specific way.""I've been thinking about everyone," Harry said. "Not in a spiraling way. Just accounting, I guess. Everyone this story touched.""Tell me," she said, the same two words she always used to open the door wide enough for him to walk through it himself.He started with his mother, because it felt right to start there, at the root of everything else. Her instability, the
Chapter 545. The Platform
The train station looked smaller than Harry remembered it, which surprised him more than it probably should have. He'd built it up in his mind over the years into something vast and looming, a place heavy enough to hold the worst night of his life, but standing on the platform now with Melissa's hand in his, it was just an ordinary station, worn benches and flickering overhead signs and the distant rumble of a train somewhere down the line that hadn't arrived yet.Melissa hadn't asked where they were going that morning. She'd simply gotten in the car when he asked her to, quiet and patient beside him the whole drive, some instinct in her clearly understanding this wasn't a place that needed small talk on the way."This is it," Harry said, once they were standing on the platform itself, the words feeling strange in his mouth after keeping the sentence unsaid for so long. "This is where it happened."Melissa looked around slowly, taking in the ordinary details of the place, the peeling
Chapter 544. The Found Family, Fully Formed
The backyard filled up gradually that Saturday afternoon, nobody quite sure who'd actually organized it, just a loose collection of texts that had somehow turned into everyone showing up at once with food and folding chairs and no real agenda beyond wanting to be in the same place together. Rhiannon had landed the night before, a rare gap between tour legs, and had immediately declared she wasn't spending a single free evening anywhere but here."You're all stuck with me for exactly thirty six hours," she announced, dropping a cooler of drinks onto the picnic table with more enthusiasm than the task strictly required. "Make the most of it."Anna, who'd apparently been counting down the days on a calendar in her room, threw herself at Rhiannon before the cooler had even settled properly."You smell like an airport," Anna informed her, not letting go."That's the sound of true love," Rhiannon said, hugging her back just as hard. "Airports and love, same smell, everyone knows that."Ann
