“I understand. He’s too noble and perfect. You fear you’re not qualified to fall for him,” Sera said.
“Yes! That’s exactly how I feel. He’s right in front of me, yet I feel like he’s unreachable. I’m afraid of causing him trouble, disrupting his life, and even more afraid that I won’t see him again. I’ve never felt so inferior in front of someone.” Harmony’s expression turned desolate.
Sera looked at her with sympathy, walked over, and hugged her. “You’re outstanding too. Don’t belittle yourself. Just stay calm. If Mr. Weiss likes you, he’ll definitely show it.”
Harmony sighed in relief. Speaking out indeed made her feel better. She nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
Around 10.00AM the next day, Harmony was preparing to go out to meet a director when her phone rang. She picked it up, and her heart raced-it was Ezekiel.
“Hello, Mr. Weiss.”
“Let’s have lunch together at noon.” Ezekiel invited her.
“At noon?”
“If you’re busy-”
“Not at all! I’m free,” Harmony replied hurriedly.
A low chuckle came from the other end. “Great!
I’ll come to pick you up at noon. Send me the address to your apartment.”
“Okay! I’ll be waiting for you.” As soon as she finished, she asked impulsively, “Mr. Weiss, would you be willing to have a meal at my place at noon? I’ll cook.”
Ezekiel surprisingly agreed. “That’s a good idea! I’ve grown tired of outside food. I’d like to taste your cooking.”
“Okay! I’ll go buy groceries. Is there anything specific you’d like to eat?”
“Just make something you’re good at. I’m not picky,” Ezekiel said.
“All right! See you later.” Harmony smiled. Her day had suddenly become very meaningful. After she hung up the phone, Sera, who was in front, asked, “Aren’t we going to meet Director Page?”
“Sera, I’ve invited Mr. Weiss to my place for lunch at noon. I won’t go meet Director Page. Can you help me cancel the appointment?”
Sera nodded. “All right. I’ll help you cancel it. Let’s go to the grocery store together.”
“I can go by myself.”
“It’s better for you to stay indoors for now. There are still many crazy fans out there.”
“It’s okay. I want to pick out the groceries personally.” Harmony smiled. Her mind immediately conjured up her usual signature dishes. She couldn’t afford to mess up today.
At the grocery store, Harmony wore a mask and pushed the cart while shopping with Sera. By the time they finished shopping, it was already 11.00AM. Harmony hurried back home to tidy up.
She bought a 120-square-meter apartment and decorated it in a very simple and minimalist style that she liked. After Sera dropped her off at home, she said, “Harmony, it’s rare for you to spend time alone with Mr. Weiss. Seize the opportunity!”
Harmony’s cheeks blushed. “Sera, don’t get weird ideas.”
Sera laughed heartily and then left.
Harmony’s heart was still beating rapidly. She looked at her home and began tidying it up carefully. She was a very clean person, and her entire house was almost spotless. Ezekiel set off from the hotel. He didn’t bring along any bodyguards and drove alone to Harmony’s residential area. After registering at the gate, he entered.
Upon entering the elevator, two girls, who were engrossed in their phones, suddenly glanced outside to see a man holding flowers entering the elevator. Their hearts skipped a beat.
My goodness! He’s so handsome. Are the flowers for his girlfriend?
Ezekiel pressed the button for the 18th floor. It was his first time going to a girl’s house alone, so he bought flowers on the way. He hoped that Harmony would like them.
Harmony heard the doorbell and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. As she peered through the peephole, she saw Ezekiel.
Then, she reached out and opened the door. She was greeted by not only the handsome face of the man but also a bouquet of roses emitting fragrance. Her heart rate skyrocketed. This man was unexpectedly so romantic! He even brought flowers for her.
“For you. I hope you like them,” Ezekiel said in a low voice, his deep gaze filled with anticipation.
“I like them a lot. Thank you. Please come in.” Harmony opened the door wider to welcome him in and brought out a pair of men’s sandals she had prepared beforehand.
Ezekiel walked into her home and immediately noticed her good taste. Although it wasn’t large, it was extremely cozy.
“Your home is very cozy,” Ezekiel complimented.
Harmony placed the flowers on the cabinet, feeling a bit nervous and excited. “Mr. Weiss, as long as you don’t mind it.”
Ezekiel turned his head and smiled. “Of course not.”
She suddenly noticed that this man’s pupils weren’t purely black but had an amber hue. It was an unusual and charming trait.
“Why would I mind? I like your house.” Ezekiel then asked, “Can I take a look around?”
Harmony nodded. “Of course! Feel free to look around. I’ll be in the kitchen.”
Ezekiel nodded and began to tour the place. Although the interior was just over 90 square meters, because she only had a master bedroom, other areas were relatively spacious. He looked at her study room, where a few rays of sunlight streamed onto the desk, showcasing the potted plants and giving it a thriving ambiance.
He didn’t enter her master bedroom but found many other areas in her home worth stopping and admiring. For instance, her photo wall. The wall displayed pictures meticulously arranged by age, from her infancy to childhood, teenage years, and adulthood.
He watched a girl grow up proportionally. She was adorable and beautiful as a child, had the youthfulness and innocence of adolescence, and had a graceful and sweet demeanor as an adult.
Ezekiel took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of the photo wall. He intended to savor them later.
Among those photos, aside from the ones with her parents, there were only portrait pictures of her, without any other men in sight. He found himself increasingly drawn to her, and he found her even more attractive.
At that moment, Harmony’s phone rang, but she was washing vegetables in the kitchen and didn’t hear it.
Ezekiel glanced at the screen and was surprised to see the word “Jerk” displayed- apparently, it was a call from Reuben. Harmony seemed to have forgotten to block his number so he could still call her.
Ezekiel hesitated for only a couple of seconds before reaching for Harmony’s phone and pressing the answer button.
A man’s voice came from the other end, and he sounded somewhat intoxicated. “Harmony, is that you?”
