Chapter 1125: "No matter what, you're my friend, Tiffany.
Always," Harlee said with heartfelt sincerity.
"Harlee, thank you," Tiffany managed to say, tears brimming in her eyes. She stared at Harlee as if trying to memorize every detail of her expression.
"You're my friend forever, too." But then, Tiffany's smile faltered, and a flicker of doubt clouded her face.
"These past few years... It feels like I've been stuck in reverse. I don't have a single thing worth being proud of." Though Harlee had urged her to embrace life fully, Tiffany couldn't shake the feeling that she had fallen short of that goal.

"We haven't spoken in three years," Tiffany said with a faint, practiced smile.
Both of them worked in the entertainment industry, but her career had taken a nosedive after the scandal. If it weren't for her undeniable talent, she might not have gotten any roles. That was why they had lost touch, never to work together again.
Harlee reached across the table, her hand enveloping Tiffany's in a warm, reassuring grip.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are just as remarkable as anyone out there.
Actually, I chere today because I need your help. You are the only person I can turn to." Harlee had made this decision on a whim. She hadn't fully figured out what kind of help she needed, but something inside her pushed her forward. She didn't want Tiffany to doubt herself.

Harlee had been skeptical at first, but now, she saw the truth in his words.
The confidence that had once sparkled in Tiffany's eyes seemed to have faded. "Help? What could I possibly do to help you?" Tiffany asked.
"Yes, I need you." Harlee nodded, her gaze firm.
"There is an International Charity Auction in Baythorn three days from ve now I need you to attend it. As for the rest, I'll explain when we are there."
