He found himself standing outside the building that housed Coastline Studio, located in the Oxfordshire Culture Industry Park.

In truth, he should have made a visit when he returned from abroad, given what Avril Green had done for him.

But he didn’t.

Harrison didn’t want to be seen as impolite, but he had his reasons.

He was deliberately drifting away from Avril.

He had long noticed that her feelings for him were off balance. He didn’t want to lose her as a friend, but he owed her too many favors. At the same time, he had faith in her calmness and self-restraint.

He thought that their relationship could begin with emotions and stop at propriety. Time could cultivate feelings, and it could also wear them away. Harrison wanted to leave the problem to time.

His vision could see the end of the future.

In all the past timelines he had known, no matter where Avril’s artistic career led, her emotional life remained almost unchanged.

One person, one lifetime.

Even in the original history where the two didn’t know each other, the result Harrison saw in her biography was the same.

If Chris Owen was the epitome of humanity’s incurable diseases, then Avril could be considered the epitome of loneliness.

As a result, Harrison couldn’t be sure whether her ultimate choice had anything to do with him, or if it was just fate.

The wonder of fate was that sometimes, even when you knew what was going to happen and how it would turn out, you couldn’t be sure what was right and what was wrong.

But Avril’s impulsive act this time caught him off guard, making him feel a sense of crisis.

So after he arrived, he only made a phone call to express his gratitude, verbally promising to write her a song later, and invited her to dinner. He pretended to be busy, but never made any move.

Now that he was selling songs again on a massive scale, not visiting her in person would be too much.

Returning to this place, Harrison had a completely different state of mind.

Standing below the building, he remembered how Avril had given him his first opportunity after he had encountered multiple setbacks.

Avril’s help didn’t stop there.

At her birthday party, she wasn’t afraid to offend Eric Mitchell and backed Harrison up. She then introduced Harrison to Ward Owen, a well-connected person.

Also at her party, she helped Harrison promote his song, generously giving up the stage for Carrie Thomas, who helped spread her fame.

When some low-class people in London had their eyes on the cake in Harrison’s hands, she pulled him to dinner, quietly making a statement.

Born noble, she always used her wings to shield Harrison from the wind and rain without expecting anything in return.

If it wasn’t for Harrison mentioning it afterwards, she wouldn’t have claimed credit and just wanted to help quietly.

And this time, even though Harrison didn’t really need it, she went to London.

No matter if it was useful or not, she made the effort anyway.

If it weren’t for Harrison calling Chris Owen, she wouldn’t have mentioned it either.

But what about Harrison’s response?

Aside from jokingly inviting her to write a song, she never asked for anything. Harrison did give her a few songs, each of which could be considered rare and classic. In Avril’s heart, they might be extremely valuable, but they meant nothing to Harrison.

This was an inevitable cognitive bias.

Gradually, Harrison felt a tinge of regret, wondering if he had made a mistake.

As he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Avril Green.

Harrison looked up and saw a head sticking out from the window on the tenth floor—it was Avril.

She was holding her phone in one hand and waving wildly at him with the other.

She was laughing very happily, even a little wildly.

Her eyes were like a painting, her long hair fluttering in the sunlight, her pupils flashing with an unusual light.

At that moment, she was not the graceful lady she usually was, and seemed nothing like the rumored top star of England, let alone the star with the strongest background in Central China. She looked more like a young girl brimming with youth.

She was too far away to expect Harrison to see her clearly.

But perhaps it was the distance combined with being alone in her office that allowed her to reveal a side of herself that she could never show in front of others.

Actually, Harrison could see her very clearly.

Avril joked on the phone, “Are you sunbathing down there? Today isn’t a good day for that.”

No, I just suddenly had an idea and wanted to think about it.”

Do you have a new song again?”

Harrison thought that he was here to sell songs in the first place, “Yes.”

“You’re really something, with all your inspiration. Come up, I’ve been waiting for you for half a day.”

“Alright, sure.”

After hanging up, Avril returned to her office. She walked to the mirror, but her expression was no longer as happy as it had been. Instead, it was a little complicated and gloomy.

She had a heavy heart.

Ever since she returned from London, some changes had occurred that she didn’t want to see, and that were beyond her expectations.She didn’t know who to blame, maybe it was her fault or maybe it was inevitable.

Now, Harrison Clark is too high-profile.

He never thought of hiding. In this era, it’s not possible to keep things hidden either.

As he continuously demonstrated his terrifying money-making ability, last time he had already attracted some covetous people. But back then, those who targeted him had limited power, and they were easily scared off by Avril Green.

But this time, Harrison Clark suddenly released the Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0 and announced ten new technologies in the United States, causing huge waves and triggering a diplomatic incident of no small size.

Although the matter mysteriously disappeared in the end, the domestic side had after all taken reciprocal measures, and Avril Green also appeared.

At first, many people, just like Chris Owen, thought that he was only proposing a concept of a long-term plan. He was telling stories to increase his influence while making some money.

But after Harrison Clark returned to England, he immediately completed a new round of share integration with Whale Group, and made major revisions to Summit Research Institute’s design plan.

It was clear that he was serious.

Whale Group then added investments, while reducing the controlling shares to a dangerous 31%.

Chris Owen is not a fool.

So, there is only one explanation for this matter: the ten technologies announced by Harrison in the United States are real.

Chris Owen would rather invest more money and lower the shares, just to secure the lead in this area.

Such a situation finally alerted more people, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Just a few days ago, Avril Green owed some favors when she asked for help.

Those who were tempted contacted her and asked her to pass on a message hoping to form a “mutually beneficial” relationship with Harrison Clark.

There wasn’t much difference in the nature of these matters from before, but this time, the people involved were different, and Avril Green’s intimidation tactics no longer worked.

She didn’t want to be the messenger, and she knew that because of his stubborn nature, Harrison Clark wouldn’t compromise.

However, if she didn’t pass the message today, sooner or later someone would come to Harrison for the same reason and then everything would spiral out of control.

This was Avril Green’s dilemma, but she couldn’t figure out a solution in the end.

After much hesitation, she decided to wait for Harrison to come and gently probe his thoughts before making a decision.

“Lucia, Harrison is here.”

Bella Ross gently knocked on the door and reminded Avril from outside.

Avril hurriedly fixed her clothes and hairstyle, and her expression quickly returned to normal. She said loudly, “Let him in.”

Bella Ross opened the door and made a gesture, “Mr. Clark, please come in.”

Harrison was quite embarrassed by this, “Bella, please don’t be so distant. I’m not used to it, it’s terribly awkward.”

Bella Ross just laughed and gave Harrison a slap on his shoulder, “Times have changed, and now you’re a big shot. In the future, I have to be even more respectful to you in front of others, lest people say I don’t know my manners. I’m just practicing, getting used to it now.”

Harrison rolled his eyes, “You can forget about it.”

After taking a purple clay teacup filled with Jamaica Blue Mountain tea from the assistant’s hands, Bella handed it to Harrison, and with a smile, she pushed him inside, “Don’t try to reminisce with me, we don’t have anything to talk about. Avril has been waiting for you for a long time, you guys have your own chat.”

Bella then closed the door from outside.

As soon as the door was closed, Bella’s brilliant smile quickly disappeared, and she just helplessly shook her head.

Sigh.

Now, she didn’t know what to do.

Other artist managers can decide many things for their artist, from image to music style, from attending which shows to accepting which advertisements, and even the artist’s love life and life plans.

But it’s not the case with Bella Ross and Avril Green.

Bella Ross is very capable at work, but she can’t interfere with Avril Green’s decisions at all.

Avril Green looks friendly, but there’s an innate strong-willed nature in her.

Inside the office, Avril Green sat down on the sofa and pointed to the sofa opposite, “Sit down. The tea is what I brought back from London, even better than Mr. Owen’s. Give it a try. The teacup isn’t new, you used it last time you were here.”

Harrison nodded.

The water was too hot, so he didn’t dare to drink it directly. He just brought his nose closer to take a sniff.

Oh my!

This is the legendary top-quality Jamaica Blue Mountain tea!

Even a 21st-century Quark Device can’t produce this!

Sigh, it must be because this taste has been lost in the course of history. If he could bring a piece of tea back to let the Quark Device record its quark-level structure, that would be great.

“What did you think of the Across the Starry Sky’ song I wrote for you last time?”

Putting down the cup, Harrison asked with a hint of guilt.

Avril Green’s eyes were full of longing and excitement as she held her hands to her chest and said loudly, “I really like it! I never imagined that a rock style could have such charm. It’s as if a new door has opened for me. Making it into the Top 50 on the Billboard chart is something I didn’t expect either, and it opened up the European and American market for me.”

Harrison Clark: “It’s good that you like it. You also sang it well, otherwise the European and American music scene wouldn’t have easily recognized this song.”

Avril Green shook her head, “Actually, they don’t know that this isn’t the perfect state of ‘Across the Starry Sky’. I’m really curious how it would be like with the Xismea accompaniment you mentioned. For me, there indeed is a little sense of disharmony, which is driving my obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.”

“Haha, don’t worry about it.”

“Alright, anyway, making it into the charts is a pleasant surprise. Mainly, it’s your contribution. But I don’t really care about that. Recently, I’ve been experiencing some creative resurgence, so once I finish writing a few songs that follow the same vein as Across the Starry Sky’, I’ll ask you for your advice.”

“No problem.” Harrison nodded..
