Chapter 101
Other than Valerie, no one knew she was also one of Harry’s admirers. She just hid her feelings very well. She knew very well how to stay by Harry’s side for a longer time. She also understood that some emotions were better left unspoken, as they only led to more regret.
For her, secret love was better than openly expressed affection. She could enjoy loving someone silently, where all the pain and joy were experienced by her alone. In this kind of love, there was no one to create false hope for her, and she didn’t experience disappointment.
Julia sat quietly in the office, finishing the design drafts needed by Kathy without saying a word, Valerie called her several times but got no response. Valerie decided to focus on her work without talking to Julia.
A message caught Julia’s attention. It was a text from Arya. When she opened it, she saw a picture of Harry wrapped in at towel coming out of the bathroom.
Julia’s heart had already turned cold since last night, but seeing Arya’s provocative message still stirred some emotions. within her. She quickly closed the message, unsure of how to reply to Arya.
Last night, Harry had gone out from home to see Arya. Julia already had images in her mind of what could have happened between a man and a woman alone in a room.
Frustrated, she left the office and went to the balcony outside to catch some fresh air. Fortunately, not many people came here, so she often came here to clear her mind when feeling troubled.
Standing on the balcony, Julia rested her hands on the railing. She wanted to divorce Harry now. She didn’t want to be constantly provoked by Arya, and she couldn’t even argue back.
Julia?” A familiar and deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, making Julia jump. She turned around and saw Asher standing not far away, looking at her with a puzzled expression I thought I was mistaken.”
Julia greeted, “Mr. Cooper.
Asher scratched his head awkwardly and walked over to Julia. “We don’t have to be so formal here. You’re Harry’s wife. You can call me Asher.”
“But we’re at the workplace,” Julia replied.
Asher waved his hand dismissively. “It’s just the two of us here. We’re also friends. It’s okay for you to call me by my name. No one else will know.”
Julia couldn’t deny it, but she didn’t want to discuss how to address him. Since Asher was here, Julia decided to leave, but Asher stopped her.
“You’re so strange. Do you dislike me? Why do you want to leave when you see me? Did I disturb you by coming here? Asher looked at Julia with confusion. “You seem to have something on your mind. Did Harry bully you?”
Julia didn’t answer, but Asher, being perceptive, could tell. He proudly said, “Harry must have bullied you. Hey, he’s good at everything except being indecisive in love.”
“Mr. Cooper.” Julia sighed helplessly.
Asher continued, “I shouldn’t interfere in your and Harry’s affairs, but I think if you have any dissatisfaction with Harry, you should tell him. Otherwise, with his low emotional intelligence, how would he know what you’re thinking?
Julia said, “Harry and I have no problems.”
With a smug look, Asher said, “Your expression tells me otherwise. You two don’t seem to be fine. He paused and asked

softly, “Why don’t you tell me? Maybe I can give you some advice
Seeing Asher’s gossipy gaze, Julia couldn’t hold back her sarcasm “Take a look in the mirror first. Your whole face screams I’m so nosy
Asher instinctively touched his face and muttered, “Really? Harry’s gossip is quite intriguing. I’m definitely curious.”
Julia realized she could stand here and discuss such boring topics with Asher. She was patient. With that in mind, she didn’t care that Asher was her boss and turned around to leave the balcony.
Even so, Asher caught up. He continuously asked Julia, trying to rainwash her and saying he could help her.
He said, Julia, to be honest, your personality is too stubborn. You hardly talk to people, and Harry definitely wouldn’t like your demeanor now. Look at Arya’s attitude in front of Harry…
Before Asher could finish, Julia abruptly stopped, causing Asher to nearly bump into her. She turned around and stared at him, saying slowly and deliberately, I’m not Arya, I will never treat Harry the way Arya does”
Asher felt embarrassed. Sensing Julia’s anger, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to compare you with Arya/I just wanted to tell you that Harry likes gentle and soft women.”
Julia said indifferently. “It’s not my business. I don’t like him, so why should I care about what he likes? Even if he likes men, I wouldn’t care.”
Asher was stunned.
Julia left, leaving Asher alone in the wind, feeling disheveled. He grimaced and immediately called Harry, ranting about Julia. “Your wife has such a sharp tongue. You always said you’re more charming than me. Why does Julia despise you so much?”
Harry asked, “Did you call just to talk about something so boring
“Of course not!” Asher replied as he returned to his office. “Did you have a fight with Julia? She seemed quite down.” “Down?” Harry let Alden out and adjusted his position to hold the phone. “Why do you think she’s down?”
Asher rolled his eyes. “It’s definitely because of you and Arya. No matter who it is, they won’t feel good. I don’t even know what you’re thinking. Do you want both of them?”
‘Do you want more gossip?” Harry sneered, not giving Asher a chance to gossip.
Was Julia feeling down? Harry couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of what happened last night. When they locked eyes at the door, he felt like Julia had something to say, but she never did. He thought if julia had spoken up last night, he might not have left.
When he arrived at Arya’s place last night, she was trying to overlose on sleeping pills. If he had been any later, he might needed to send her to the hospital again.
Thinking of Arya, Harry’s expression turned cold. Arya held something he desperately wanted, and he wouldn’t drive her away at this moment.
After much hesitation, Harry decided to call Julia again, but as expected, she didn’t pick up. Thinking of his deceased father and Vincent, who died saving him, Harry suppressed the words he wanted to tell Julia once again.
