SWNOVELS Chapter 12
Chapter 12 The Self-Depreciating Mr. Terran, You’re Only Opposing Me to Attract My Attention
He was worried her back would hit the wall. So, he had purposely put his hand out to cushion her fall.
“Absalom, let go of me!” The way Harmonia looked at Absalom was full of anger.
“Harmonia, you’re only opposing me to attract my attention.”
Harmonia chuckled at this. She felt it was absurdly funny. “Mr. Terran, confidence is a good thing to have, but arrogance is not.”
She had to admit. Absalom had the right to be cocky, but his arrogance was misplaced!
“Harmonia, I’m giving you a chance to return!” He had a feeling that she was getting farther and farther away from him.
A chance?
“Absalom, you should just give up!”
Her words did not have a shred of warmth to them. It made his heart clench.
Harmonia’s pretty brows frowned. She put in her all to escape his hold. However, she put in too much energy, and the back of her hand struck his lower jaw.
The slap was not too heavy, but it was enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Taking this opportunity, Harmonia pushed him aside with a single shove. She then took a few steps back and kept her distance from him.

Absalom frowned and stared at her coolly. His tongue touched the inside of his cheek.
“Harmonia, you are the first person to ever have dared to lay a hand on me.”
“Mr. Terran, you flatter me. I’m just paying the favor back.” The back of her hand was bruised and swollen. It had not fully gone down yet.
Just then, a low, clear voice spoke from nearby.
“Absalom, don’t be late for the Seadale Museum’s construction meeting at 4 p.m..”
The Seadale Museum’s construction meeting? Did Terran
Construction plan on targeting this project?
Harmonia lifted her head and looked toward the direction of the
voice. Alas, the man had already turned to leave.
Absalom was stunned. His words could not leave his mouth, and he swallowed them right back.
Harmonia watched the man’s retreating figure. Her gaze fell on the redwood beaded bracelet on his wrist.
It was him!

A huge wave of pain overwhelmed him. It was something he had
never felt before.
He frowned as he stared at Harmonia’s silhouette. She was elegant
and gorgeous, but she was leaving him further away.
“There’s nothing I want that I can’t get yet.”

From what he understood of her, he believed that she was only consumed by rage.
When she thought things through, she would turn around and beg him to take her back. It was just a matter of time.
“Harmonia, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Harmonia ran into the underground parking lot, looking for the man’s figure.
That silhouette; that bracelet. She would never mistake those two. He was the man who saved her that day.

Harmonia entered the parking lot. She only saw him open the car door and prepare to get into the car.
“Wait!”
She did not care that she was still wearing heels and rushed up toward him. However, she accidentally tripped and sprained her ankle,
She hissed. Staggering, she fell forward heavily.
ust as she was certain that she was going to fall, a hand held her by ner slim waist securely.
“You asked me to wait, and I heard you. So, you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
Harmonia opened her eyes. She was greeted with a handsome face. The scent of pinewood cologne was indescribably fresh.
If Absalom’s energy was an overwhelming wave, then the man in front of her was a wide wall. However, they were just as intimidating, and just as eye-catching.
“I’m sorry, thanks.” Harmonia steadied herself and took a few steps
