Chapter 34 Work Doesn’t Feel Tring if Men and Women Work Together

Hector could not understand it. Safan had always been a fair man, but things were different when it came to Harmonia.

“I didn’t ask her to do this. Isn’t it tiring and hard?”

Realization struck. “You pity Harmonia-”

“I didn’t say that!” Safan denied it and felt embarrassed.

But Hector did not expose him and just asked, “So, what did you want to tell me here?”

“I’ve booked plane tickets for you two. You’re leaving with Harmonial the next morning.”

“Monia’s not going to agree to that.”

“Then think of something! Why else do I need you for?!”

Hector fell silent.

After he left the study room, Hector went downstairs.

He saw Ginevra sitting alone in the living room and was looking outside anxiously.

He looked around and saw no sign of Harmonia.

“Where’s Monia?”

“She went to the tea booth. But it’s pouring outside, and it’s dark. I’m really worried.” Ginevra grew more worked up.

Upon hearing this, Hector also became nervous. “Calm down. I’ll head over right now.”

“Alright.” Ginevra nodded. “Stay safe”

“Don’t worry about me.”

Hector immediately left the bungalow and rushed over to the tea booth.

Since it was pouring outside, the phone signal was affected. Hector called Harmonia a few times, but all the calls did not go through.

Water was leaking through one of the corners of the tea booth, and Harmonia was busy moving the boxes of tea leaves Inside.

Once Hector reached the tea booth, he ran inside.

When Harmonia saw him, she was quite surprised. “Why are you here?”

“We can’t possibly feel at ease when you’re out here alone at night.”

Harmonia pursed her lips. “I wasn’t even thinking about that. I was only concerned about the tea leaves

These were the tea leaves that were to be used tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If they got wet and were soaked, they would end up rotting, and it would be a huge waste!

“You’re in for a huge lecture when we’re back…” Hector rapped his knuckles gently against Harmonia’s head and quickly helped her move the boxes.

They finally moved all the tea leaves to a safe corner.

Harmonia then threw a tarp over the boxes and started tying up all four corners tightly to prevent any possibility of water getting into them.

Since they worked together, they did not feel tired at all, and they were

efficient.

Soon, they secured all four corners Even if water continued leaking through the tea booth, the tea leaves would not be affected.

Harmonia sighed in relief. “Thank goodness you came on time. I

wouldn’t have been able to move all the boxes alone.”

“You just keep making me worried… If you come out here alone again, I’m going to be really mad at you!”

Harmonia pulled at a corner of his shirt. “Sorry…”

Feeling resigned, Hector shook his head. “Seriously, you… Come on. Let’s go home.”

Harmonia nodded and went under Hector’s umbrella.

Just when she looked up, she saw a ray of light through the corner of her eye.

But they were in the mountains, and it was dark all around them. How could there be any light?

Harmonia just thought that she was seeing things because she was tired.

“What’s wrong?” Hector looked at her and asked.

She shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

Then, both of them left the tea booth and went home while braving the storm.

Harmonia turned on the torchlight in her phone and lit up the muddy path in the mountain.

But soon, dozens of men armed with sticks appeared and surrounded them.

“We meet again, Harmonia!”

The man in front of them wore a raincoat and smiled savagely.
