Chapter 358 A Strange Invitation
The spotlight was on Atlas as he delivered an eloquent speech on stage, thanking clients who hadsupported him for years.
I stared at his handsome face as I struggled to contain my sense of loss.
A server gently whispered, “Ms. Chloe, someone is waiting for you on the rooftop.”
The server quickly left, and I looked around skeptically. Everyone was focused on the dazzling man on
the stage.
Who could be looking for me?
1 quietly made my way to a staircase that led directly to the rooftop, which was designed to look likeant elegant open garden.
Because of the evening’s event, the rooftop was open to visitors. It was quieter than the bustlingatmosphere below, making it suitable for private conversations.
When I went into the rooftop garden, I did not see many other people. Most were gathered below,listening to Atlas.
As I glanced around, I couldn’t spot anyone waiting for me..
Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I spun around and saw Harmony gracefully walking toward me.
She was undeniably one of the night’s main attractions. After all, she was the host’s date. Atlas was thecenter of attention, and she shone brightly next to him.
“What is it? What did arrogantly. It was a stark contrast to her

behavior when she came to my office the other day.
“Did I ask for you?” I was puzzled. When did I ask for her?
“What? Didn’t you ask the server to call me up here?” She was clearly irritated and said, “Chloe, I knowwhat’s on your mind. You may act indifferent and not admit your feelings for Atlas, but I’m not a fool, Iknow what you truly desire,”

“I supported Atlas through his difficult time, so don’t think a similar face will confuse his judgment. Itwon’t work! No one can change his mind. For my sake, he rejected his family’s demands for anarrangednovelbin
marriage.”
I smiled scornfully, admiring her confidence.
“Chloe, stop pretending to be calm. Just let go and focus on your small business. That’s your truepath!”
I was amazed by her arrogance. The person before me didn’t resemble the Harmony I knew. She hadsuddenly gained confidence, as if she had some powerful support.
I took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Harmony, you’re overthinking things. If you’re so sure of yourself,focus on being his partner. Uttering these empty words is meaningless. Also, I was also called up here,and I didn’t call for you! You should get that straight!
I turned away, with no intention of lingering any longer. It was pointless to say anything more. Whatevervalidation she had received didn’t concern me much, and there was no point in bragging to me.
I turned and felt a cold bitterness in me.
“What’s the matter? Chloe, are you dissatisfied?” Harmony’s tone suddenly turned harsh. “You calledme up here to say something, didn’t you? Why pretend to be aloof? Are you embarrassed?”
I looked at her coldly and said, “Calling you foolish would be a compliment. I overestimated you earlier.Don’t be so eager to show off. I’m not interested.”
