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 454. The Reunion
The room Harry had arranged was small and unremarkable by design, a quiet corner suite with soft chairs and warm lighting, nothing about it meant to impress or overwhelm. Ricardo arrived first, pacing slightly near the window, dressed more simply than Harry had ever seen him, no armor of expensive tailoring or careful presentation, just a man waiting to meet his daughter.Osaka arrived a few minutes later, quiet and tense, positioning himself near the far wall, close enough to be present, far enough to give the moment room to belong to the two people it actually belonged to.Lily arrived last.She paused in the doorway for a long moment, taking in the room, taking in the man standing near the window who went suddenly, completely still the second he saw her.Ricardo didn't move first. Harry watched him hold himself back, watched every instinct in the man visibly strain against itself, the urge to close the distance, to pull her into an embrace seventeen years in the making, warring aga
Chapter 453. Bringing Her Home
Harry spent most of the next two days on the phone, arranging details with a level of care he hadn't applied to anything in longer than he could remember. A private room at a quiet hotel, nothing flashy, nothing that would draw attention. Security tight enough to keep everyone safe, discreet enough that it wouldn't feel like walking into an armed camp. A back entrance, a scheduled arrival time, contingencies for a dozen small things that could go wrong.It struck him, somewhere in the middle of confirming the third security detail, how strange it was to be applying this exact skill set to something that actually mattered. He'd spent so much of his early life planning dates and gestures with this same meticulous attention, choosing restaurants, timing surprises, orchestrating moments meant to impress. Now he was orchestrating a reunion between a grieving father and the daughter he'd believed dead for seventeen years, and the stakes had never once felt more real.He went to see Ricardo
Chapter 452. The Cost of a Bluff
Harry arrived the following afternoon at Osaka's request, meeting the two of them at the same small café, and found the air between Lily and Osaka carrying a different tension than the warm, careful opening he'd expected from Osaka's earlier message. Lily's eyes found him the moment he walked in, and there was something sharp in them that hadn't been there during their last conversation. "You told him my father already knew," she said, before Harry had even fully sat down. "Weeks ago. Before I had any idea any of this existed." Harry felt the accusation land exactly where it deserved to, and didn't try to soften his way around it. "That's true." "Explain it to me. All of it." He told her plainly, no dressing it up, no framing it in a way that might make it sound better than it actually was. He told her about the tribunal, about being cornered, about needing something, anything, to shift the room's attention away from an accusation that would have ended very badly for him. He told
Chapter 451. Osaka and Lily
Osaka had flown into more airports than he could count over the years, for business, for negotiations, for the quiet, dangerous work his family had trained him into since he was young enough that he barely remembered a version of himself that hadn't known how to disappear into a crowd. He didn't remember any of those landings feeling like this one. His hands shook slightly as he collected his bag from the carousel, a small enough tremor that he doubted anyone around him noticed, but he noticed, and the noticing unsettled him more than the shaking itself. Seventeen years of careful control, and here he was, undone by nothing more than the prospect of a conversation. She had chosen a small café on the edge of the town where she lived, public enough to feel safe, quiet enough for a real conversation. Her choice, all of it. Osaka had learned, through Harry's careful updates, to simply accept that this entire process belonged to her now, every term, every boundary, and something in him r
Chapter 450. What She Actually Wants
The cottage looked different in daylight, less like a stranger's guarded threshold and more like an ordinary home with flowers along the path and a bicycle leaned against the wall, catching the afternoon sun. She opened the door before Harry had even finished knocking this time, no chain across the gap, and stepped back to let him in without a word."I looked into some of what you told me," she said, once they were both seated in her small kitchen, a pot of tea between them that neither of them had touched yet. "There's a man. A researcher who specializes in cases like this, missing children, false identities, that sort of thing. I found him online and paid for a consultation. I didn't tell him your name, or Ricardo's, just the shape of what you described. He said it wasn't impossible. Said it happens more often than people think, children moved and hidden to protect them from something dangerous.""You didn't have to do that on your own," Harry said."I wasn't going to just take a st
Chapter 449. The Waiting
Harry checked his phone for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, the screen showing nothing but the same notifications he'd already read, and set it face down on his desk with more force than the gesture actually required. Five days since England. Five days since he'd stood on that quiet path and watched a stranger's door close slowly between them, and he still hadn't heard a single word back. He'd thought, more than once over those five days, about booking another flight. About showing up again, this time with more patience, more of Osaka's careful documentation, whatever it might take to move things along faster than her own timeline apparently wanted to move. Each time the thought surfaced, he made himself set it back down. He knew what it would mean if he did that. He knew, more clearly than he might have known it a few months ago, that showing up unannounced a second time, before she'd asked him to, would tell her something ugly about how much her own pace actually
