It’s him! Ezekiel. He came!
Harmony could not help but ask, “Are you sure I need to change seats?” “Yes, that’s right. Please don’t worry, Miss Mayo,” said the staff member. She nodded and got up to follow the staff member.
Catalina turned and spotted Harmony, too. She curiously watched where the lady was going, only to see the staff member lead her to the first row and seat her next to Ezekiel.
He looked up at Harmony with a smile. Clad in a dark gray suit, he seemed to have taken a break from a grand party, looking even more handsome and stylish than all the actors present.
Seeing her name placed next to his seat, she sat down and whispered, “Why did you switch my seat?” “What’s wrong? Don’t you like to sit next to me?” he asked curiously.
Harmony shook her head with a smile. “It’s not that I don’t like it, but that my status in the industry doesn’t merit a seat in the first row yet.” “With me here, you can sit wherever you want,” replied Ezekiel, sizing her up with his eyes. She looked elegant and lovely with her smooth, radiant skin and tip-tilted nose. Her pink lips were alluring with a hint of innocence, but they attracted him the most because he already knew how tender they were.
Sitting in her seat, Catalina clenched her fists in frustration. How is that possible? How did Harmony qualify for a seat in the first row-next to Ezekiel, at that? Damn it!
Fuming, she bit her lip, determined to make a fuss about this to get everyone in showbiz to mock Harmony. After all, hierarchy was taken very seriously in this industry, where juniors were not supposed to steal the limelight from their seniors.
And sure enough, besides Catalina, others also began to notice this. Those of higher status than Harmony were seated in the second and third rows, making it more conspicuous that she, a relatively new actress, was seated in the first row.
How could this not arouse envy among others?
“Who is that girl? Is she remarkable or something?” asked an actress while staring at Harmony.
“She’s just a rising starlet. There’s nothing remarkable about her.” “Then, why is she sitting there? That seat isn’t for her.” “That’s right! How shameless of her to squeeze herself into the first row. I wonder who gave her the nerve.” Hearing the voices condemning Harmony from all sides, Catalina felt even more pleased. Harmony has now become a public enemy in the whole industry, hasn’t she? No matter how powerful Ezekiel is, he can’t always protect her, right?
That’s unless she marries him and becomes his wife. But given her status, is she good enough for such an elite and prestigious family?
Harmony’s phone beeped with a message. She looked at it, and it was from Leon Musk, the director of her film. ‘Harmony, why are you sitting in the first row? Now, everyone’s got a bone to pick with you. Hurry and ask the staff to get your seat changed!” She glanced back in response, noticing the giggling actors and actresses whose gazes showed mockery and disdain toward her. It was as if she had encroached upon their rights by sitting here. Deep down inside, she also understood the need to be modest and keep a low profile to try to gain favor. As a minor actress, she did not have the license to be bold. Even if Ezekiel granted her this privilege, she did not deserve it.
“Mr. Weiss, m-may I switch back to my previous seat?” she asked softly, leaning close to him.
“Why?” he inquired, leaning over to her.
“It’s because I’m… just a newcomer. I can’t sit here. It’s too conspicuous,” she explained.
After listening to this, the man turned to look at the actors and actresses behind him. Many of them had not seen his face before, but the moment he turned around, the actresses seated in the rows behind him gasped in astonishment.
This guy’s handsome face is captivating!
Even the male celebrities who came tonight could not compare to him. Who is he? Why is Harmony with him?
However, some people remembered the photos from Fashion Week and quickly understood. Isn’t this the mysterious wealthy man who escorted Harmony during Fashion Week last time? So, he’s also at this awards ceremony! If only we can get to know him.
That was the sentiment of almost all female celebrities, and of course, many male celebrities harbored the same thoughts. This man was too perfect.
“Good! I’ll arrange it,” Ezekiel said while picking up his phone and dialing a number before requesting the other end.
In no time, a staff member received the order, walked over, and said to Harmony and Ezekiel, “Mr. Weiss, Miss Mayo, the seats have been rearranged. Please follow me.” Harmony felt grateful in her heart. Ezekiel willingly switched from the first row to the third row for her sake.
She returned to her seat, and the man sat beside her. When the other artists saw her return to her original seat and sneered internally, they could only scoff at her having some self-awareness of her position in this circle. One had to be aware of their status in this industry; those who did not understand the rules would not thrive.
“Mr. Weiss, hello. It’s nice to meet you.” The female artist sitting next to Ezekiel greeted him boldly after overhearing the staff calling him ‘Mr. Weiss’. Thus, she followed suit.
He glanced lightly at her and nodded politely without engaging in further conversation.
Harmony’s heart could not help but twist a bit when she saw this female artist taking the initiative to talk to Ezekiel. The woman who greeted him was Arabella Copeland, a well- known socialite in the industry.
It was said that any man she set her sights on could not escape her grasp.
Harmony was worried that he might become her target as well.
Her worries were justified as Arabella’s goal tonight was to get his contact information and then wait to take him down afterward. She wore a seductive champagne-colored dress tonight, which exuded an irresistible charm. She believed he would be attracted to her by sitting beside her.
If he glanced at her even once, she was confident she could win him over.
However, Arabella had already thrown several side glances at Ezekiel, only to find that he had not even looked at her once, leaving her rather disheartened.
As the awards ceremony was about to begin, the murmurs and whispers died down. Music filled the air with an excited vibe as the host delivered the opening speech, followed by an esteemed veteran artist giving a speech.
Harmony’s mind was not focused on receiving an award tonight. She was merely nominated for a movie and did not hold high hopes that she would win the Best Actress Award.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel’s phone lit up momentarily, catching his attention. He picked it up and glanced at the screen, which displayed a respectful message. ‘Mr.
Weiss, we sincerely invite you to be our guest of honor tonight to present the Best Actress Award.
After reading the message, he inquired, ‘What award is Harmony Mayo receiving?’ ‘The Best Actress Award, the other party replied.
A faint smile curled on his lips as he responded readily, ‘Okay!’ Then, he looked at the girl beside him. Under the lights, she exuded a different kind of aura. Her beautiful face carried a relaxed and comfortable vibe. There was a lack of ambition in her lovely eyes, which gave off a sense of calmness and tranquility.
He decided not to tell her about winning the award just yet, as a surprise for her later!
Catalina also kept glancing back at Ezekiel multiple times. She was fortunate to be seated in the second row, while Reuben sat on the far left in the fourth row.
He also noticed that Harmony and Ezekiel were together.
That made him more convinced that she was the one who betrayed him first.
So, the reason why she was unwilling to give me her first time is because she’d given it to Ezekiel!
He could not help but feel disgusted with her. As such, he directly sent her a message. ‘Harmony, do you have to bring your sugar daddy everywhere now?
Aren’t you afraid he’ll fancy another female artist tonight and dump you?’
Harmony was listening to the speech attentively when her phone pinged with a message. She glanced at it subconsciously and saw the message from Reuben, which made her grit her teeth in anger without replying.
‘I thought you were pure and clean in the past. I never expected you’d be a courtesan in front of your sugar daddy! How many times are you servicing him at night?” These words were truly disgusting.
After she read the message, her pretty face flushed with anger. She gripped her phone tightly, bit her lip, and chose not to respond.
Shameless people like Reuben would only get more aggressive once they receive more attention.
