Ezekiel thought about Reuben’s words earlier. Could Harmony have told him that they had slept with one another?
Otherwise, how could Reuben be so sure they were together?
A faint smile tugged at Ezekiel’s lips. Even though she had used him as a shield, it was still quite interesting! Harmony prepared four dishes and a soup after puttering about in the kitchen for 30
minutes. Her culinary skills were quite good primarily because she rarely ate out and often had to prepare her own meals after she became a celebrity.
“Mr. Weiss, dinner’s ready,” she called out.
He stood up and corrected her. “Don’t call me Mr. Weiss from now on. You can call me Ezekiel, and I’ll call you Harmony. Is that all right?” Harmony was taken aback by his request. This change in address seemed to bring their relationship closer instantly.
She was thrilled as she nodded. “Sure!” After Ezekiel sat down, Harmony quickly served him food, and he readily accepted the dishes. Her cooking today was on point, and she hadn’t slipped up even for a moment. Still, she just wasn’t sure if these dishes suited his taste.
The instant he took a first bite, she looked at him nervously and asked, “Is it too salty?” He shook his head and nodded appreciatively. “It’s very good.” Then, she urged, “Try this fish.” Ezekiel also took a small bite before praising her, “It’s really good! It’s very delicious.” Harmony finally felt herself relax, especially since she thought the food tasted decent enough.
“What do you usually do at home?” he asked curiously.
“Whenever I’m not filming, I read books, do some yoga, and dance at home.
Sometimes, I go to the nearby gym,” Harmony replied. Then, she returned his question with one of her own, inquiring, “What about you?” “I spend most of my time working. When I have free time, I would go rock climbing, fishing, or hitting the links. Oh, I’m quite the equestrian if I do say so myself. I would race with my friends from time to time,” Ezekiel promptly answered.
Harmony had refrained from asking him the question for so long-did he have a girlfriend? He had helped her so much, and they had appeared together in public several times. If he had a girlfriend, she would do everything in her power to avoid making any public appearances with him in the future.
“Ezekiel, can I ask you a question?” She summoned up the courage.
“Go ahead.” “Do you have a girlfriend?” she asked, avoiding eye contact. She truly couldn’t bring herself to look at him when she finally posed the question.
A hint of mirth appeared in Ezekiel’s eyes. “If I say I don’t, would you believe me?” She couldn’t help but smile. “You’re right. I don’t. You’re so outstanding and handsome; there have to be countless people chasing after you!” He chuckled in amusement. “I can assure you that I truly don’t have a girlfriend.
It’s not that I’m not desired. It’s just that I’ve always been busy with work and haven’t found the time for romance.” Harmony felt relieved and said, “That’s good. Otherwise, I was worried it might affect your relationship since we’ve appeared publicly together so many times.” Ezekiel reassured her, saying gently, “Don’t worry! You won’t ever have to be troubled with such problems when you’re with me.”
Harmony nodded in acceptance. Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and they had finished their meal by the time they came to their senses. Ezekiel had two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup. It was clear that he was satisfied with the meal.
“Shall we go shopping at the mall later?” Ezekiel suggested.
Harmony was more than happy to accompany him. He drove the two of them to a nearby high- end mall, which was home to some of the world’s top luxury brands and a shopping haven for the wealthy.
“Can I wear a mask? I’ve been targeted a lot recently, Harmony jested. Frankly, she was terrified of being recognized when she was just trying to have a good time.
He smiled and nodded. “Of course!” In his eyes, she exuded a lovely aura that made people unable to resist caring for her.
So, Harmony’s captivating eyes still stood out even though she was wearing a small, black mask that covered half of her face.
Ezekiel glanced at the directory, which indicated the women’s section on the sixth floor. Thus, he promptly took her straight to the sixth floor.
Harmony usually didn’t shop here unless the brands were willing to sponsor her by lending out their clothes. Although she was an up-and- coming celebrity, she still didn’t have the means to buy any clothing from these high-end stores.
So, even though she had achieved some fame as an artist, her casual wear was on the affordable end of the scale.
Ezekiel appraised the clothes that were displayed in the window and selected those suitable for Harmony the minute they arrived on the sixth floor. He walked into a well-known store and immediately thought the clothes there were perfect for her.
Harmony asked curiously. “Are you buying clothes for someone?” He smiled mysteriously. “Yes. I want to buy some clothes for a girl whose height, weight, and style are similar to yours. Can you try on a few outfits for me?” Harmony blinked in surprise. She nodded as she was more than happy to help him. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but find herself curious about the relationship between Ezekiel and the girl he wanted to gift these clothes to.
She had only asked if he had a girlfriend earlier but forgot to ask if there was a girl he liked.
What if he did and hadn’t had the time to confess his feelings to the special girl just yet? At this moment, she knew for certain-he had someone in his heart.
“Sure! I’ll help you with that.” Harmony agreed. “You can pick the clothes, and I’ll try them on once you’re done.” Ezekiel began selecting clothing for her through the catalog. He picked out several outfits that he felt were suitable. Soon, he had chosen seven or eight sets without bothering to consider the prices. He just chose the designs he liked.
“Okay. Please try them on. We’ll visit other stores after this,” he said.
Harmony couldn’t help but wonder. He had already chosen so many outfits from this store and still wanted to visit other boutiques. The girl he liked sure was a lucky one!
Harmony obediently tried on each set of clothes while Ezekiel looked very serious as he assessed them. Finally, he paid for the rest after dismissing two outfits as unsuitable.
Harmony sat on the couch and listened as Ezekiel provided the address and contact number to the attendant for the items to be delivered later.
Then, he took her to another store after leaving his contact details. She had worn more than 10 different outfits after going through several stores. These 10 suits weren’t just clothes as they also included accessories and shoes, which were all in her size. She thought, Ezekiel bought so much. What if the sizes don’t fit? Won’t they have to come back to exchange or return them later?
He should have called the girl he liked to try them on. That way, he wouldn’t pick the wrong size!
“Let’s go into this jewelry store.” Ezekiel was here to buy jewelry yet again.
Once again, Harmony felt from within the cockles of her heart that the girl he liked was truly lucky!
Ezekiel entered the VIP room, where the attendant brought in ten sets of jewelry. The diamonds and numerous jewelry sparkled with an enchanting brilliance under the lights. It was clear that they were beyond expensive.
“Try wearing them and see which ones you like. Or… do you like all of them?” “Huh?” Harmony blinked. “This… Do I also need to try them on?”
Harmony was extremely surprised.
“In that case, there’s no need to try them on. I think they all look good. Let’s take them all!” Ezekiel said without any reservation.
The nearby attendants were all smiles. My goodness! Where did this young master come from? He just made a massive purchase. All of these cost millions!
Harmony was secretly amazed. However, considering his background, these things were probably just little trinkets to him.
As they exited the jewelry store, she wondered if he still needed to buy anything else. Still, she had to admit that she had experienced something totally different while accompanying him. She had visited the high-end stores she wouldn’t usually enter and enjoyed the visual treat.
However, he seemed like he wasn’t ready to leave just yet. He spotted a watch store and said to her, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
After that, he led her inside. He had a keen eye and immediately picked a women’s watch. Harmony looked at the price, she remembered this particular model had just been released and was extremely difficult to acquire. Even the ladies of high society had been showcasing their purchase like a peacock the instant they got their hands on such a model.
“Sir, you have an excellent eye and incredible luck! This watch just arrived today. As we don’t accept reservations, this watch is the only one available in the country,” said the attendant.
Ezekiel said to Harmony, “Give me your hand. Let’s try it on.”
Harmony had resigned herself to become his model for the day. So, she handed her hand to him, and he placed the watch on her wrist. It was very high-end, and it showcased a woman’s taste and demeanor.
