As Karina was about to leave, the door suddenly chimed and opened.

She looked up to see who had entered, her eyes widening in surprise. "How could it be him?!" she thought to herself.

Harley Carter's gaze flickered over her, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he too was a little surprised.

"Excuse me," Karina said, trying to avoid engaging with him, but he was blocking the way. She had no choice but to speak.

Fortunately, Harley didn't try to stop her. He stepped aside, making way for her.

Karina let out a quiet breath of relief, but just as she was about to pass him, she suddenly heard his low voice.

"Small world, Wilfred's little assistant."

Karina lifted her gaze, but said nothing as she walked out.

Harley stood there for a moment, then, after a brief pause, he smiled with an almost amused expression before entering the flower shop. A few moments later, he came out holding a bouquet of carnations. Back at her apartment, Karina couldn't stop thinking about the encounter. After hesitating for a while, she decided to call Wilfred. But whether it was because of her own curiosity about Harley, she wasn't sure. "Dr. Wilfred, I ran into that person you had a conflict with earlier."

"Who?" Wilfred's voice was raspy.
