Mabel Quinn almost left Kyle’s Mansion in a furtive manner, finally taking a long breath once she was on the bus. Thankfully, she didn’t run into Kyle Kinston, or it would have been incredibly awkward.
Arriving at the Corporation, Mabel Quinn had just put her bag down when Lilith leaned in toward her ear to share the latest gossip, "Did you know the Crown Prince of the Harris Family specifically asked to see Lyra Grant?"
"Which Crown Prince of the Harris Family?" Mabel Quinn didn’t immediately catch on.
"Who else but the Harris Family? In J City, how many Harris Families could there be?" Lilith rolled her eyes dramatically at Mabel Quinn.
Only then did Mabel realize that Lilith was referring to the Harris Family behind their Corporation. The Harris Family’s deep-rooted heritage is hard for anyone to define clearly, and even a large film company like Morningstar is merely a subsidiary under the Harris Family. And as for the Harris Family’s Crown Prince, Mabel Quinn had heard her female colleagues gossiping about him in the company before.
Nowadays, a major part of the Harris Family’s business is under the control of this Crown Prince. However, he rarely exposes himself to the media, instead pulling the strings from behind the scenes, with even his private life shrouded in mystery. Thus, it’s said that many of J City’s socialites, despite having intentions toward this Crown Prince, scarcely even get the chance to meet him.
"The Crown Prince rarely requests to see regular employees himself. You should have seen how smug Lyra Grant was, just like those concubines summoned by the emperor for a private meeting in TV dramas," Lilith said.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Harris Gardens, Lyra Grant was being led by the butler toward the greenhouse. The thought of soon meeting the Crown Prince of the Harris Family filled Lyra with a kind of excitement.
The Harris Family is a pinnacle presence in J City, and although the current heads have two sons, almost everyone believes the future power of the Harris Family will undoubtedly be inherited by this Crown Prince.
In today’s digital age, even though this Crown Prince rarely appears in the media, Lyra Grant still managed to find a few photos of him. However, when she truly saw him in person, she realized those photos hadn’t captured the man’s true beauty.
Fair skin, short black hair, a pair of deep and beautiful eyes that first appeared clear but then seemed bottomless upon a second look, a refined nose, and lips carrying a faint smile.
In an instant, Lyra Grant almost felt a sense of losing her mind; her heart was pounding so hard she nearly forgot she had a boyfriend.
"Sit," a gentle voice said, although with a trace of coldness, yet it was so pleasant to hear.
Lyra Grant hesitated for a few seconds before realizing she should sit on the chair beside her.
"It’s quite rare for someone in high school to write a novel like Sound of the Wind," the Crown Prince of the Harris Family, Daniel Harris, remarked.
Lyra Grant only then noticed the book Sound of the Wind resting on Daniel’s knee, indicating he had been reading it earlier.
"Not at all, you flatter me too much," Lyra Grant said, modestly, but was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected someone of his stature to be interested in young adult literature.
"I happened to come across this novel by chance and thought it might be a good idea to turn it into a movie, which is why I had Morningstar work on the film production," Daniel Harris explained. It was only at this moment that Lyra realized that the biggest advocate for adapting Sound of the Wind into a film was this Crown Prince.
Yet right after, she heard his voice continue, "But what intrigued me was your decision to include a blind character in the book?"
