A pang of jealousy surged within her, prompting her to discreetly pinch his leg.
“What are you looking at? Is she that pretty?” Although Catalina harbored no affection for Reuben, she was resolute in disallowing any rekindled interest he might have in Harmony.
“She’s not as pretty as you!” Reuben quickly reassured her.
Yet, the underlying irony of his words was palpable.
In the colossal poster unfurling before them, Harmony’s beauty manifested as an ethereal reverie, exhibiting a vintage mystique.
The attire she adorned was the dream of countless young girls! In a secluded corner, Ezekiel’s lips curled up into a smile.
However, as he watched the second male lead enthusiastically conversing with and looking affectionately at Harmony, who responded with a sweet smile, Ezekiel’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Upon watching Harmony fix her mesmerizing, crescent-like eyes fixed on another man, Ezekiel felt jealous. He didn’t want others to appreciate the allure of her gaze. Meanwhile, he overheard two guys talking nearby.
“I didn’t expect Harmony to be such a beauty. She’s a goddess!” “I always thought she was stunning. Sigh. I wonder who she’ll end up with in the future.” Ezekiel listened, and suddenly, his heart effortlessly echoed that sentiment.
Me!
Of course, he kept that declaration to himself.
The on-stage interaction was reaching a fever pitch. Fans laughed incessantly, reveling in the proximity to their idols, akin to a scene from a movie. The money they spent felt like a bargain.
Catalina’s face contorted with anger when she heard the fans showering praise on Harmony. It seemed Harmony had triumphed once again, ascending not only in celebrity status but also earning a reputation for her beauty.
Reuben couldn’t tear his gaze away from Harmony, but Catalina could no longer be bothered with him.
As the nearly hour-long interaction neared its end, the fans were reluctant to part ways. Yet, up next was the photo session for lucky fans to get up close with their idols.
Harmony had become a celebrity with tons of male fans, and all of them were vying for a chance to capture a moment with her.
Ezekiel, too, rose to his feet. He strode toward the stage, and at this moment, he unexpectedly caught the director’s eye, who came down from the stage personally to welcome him.
After Harmony posed for photos with two fans, she sensed another presence approaching. The moment she looked up, her heart skipped a beat. It was Ezekiel!
“Miss Mayo, may I have a photo with you?” He grinned.
Harmony nodded with a bashful smile. “Of course!” Without hesitation, she stepped toward him. Ezekiel, more direct than the other fans, extended his arm and pulled her in for the photo. They looked like a perfect match.
“When did you get here? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?” “I got in late, so I snagged a seat in the back,” Ezekiel replied, When he saw Harmony up close, she seemed even more beautiful, causing his heart to flutter.
God knew how elated Harmony felt inside; she was practically on the verge of bursting with happiness. It was as if at every place she wished for him to be, he appeared. This feeling was even more joyful than hitting the jackpot.
Just then, a staff member walked over and said, “Miss Mayo, there are a few fans over there who would love to take a photo with you. Do you mind?” The staff member hesitated.
Harmony looked up and spotted two boys and four girls standing there, all eager to take a photo with her. Naturally, she wouldn’t decline such requests. She nodded, but at that moment, the man beside her suddenly declared, “She can only take photos with girls. No photos with guys, please.” Ezekiel’s voice cut through.
Harmony’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. Then, she saw a hint of jealousy in that man’s eyes. Was she imagining things?
“Okay, I’ll arrange for the girls to come over for photos.” The staff member immediately went over. The disappointed boys were left hanging while the excited girls hurriedly approached.
“Harmony, we love you so much!” “Yes! We’re all huge fans of yours. Taking a photo with you is a dream come true.” As the fans expressed their joy, they took note of Harmony. Just then, someone noticed Ezekiel next to her and curiously asked, “Harmony, is this your boyfriend?” Harmony felt a twinge of embarrassment. “Uh… H-He is…” Before she could elaborate on their relationship, the fans enthusiastically caught on. “Harmony, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Don’t worry! We won’t spill. You’re so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend!” Harmony turned her head, casting an embarrassed glance at Ezekiel. It wasn’t her fault for not clarifying. The fans had misunderstood before she could set things straight.
The man smiled with a hint of affection in his eyes. Upon seeing that the man didn’t mind, Harmony smiled shyly, stood with the fans, and took various photos with them. Meanwhile, Ezekiel’s phone rang, so he stepped aside to answer it.
After Harmony finished taking photos, she turned around but didn’t see him, so she started feeling a bit anxious. At that moment, a handsome figure approached her-it was the second male lead, Bird.
He looked excited yet a bit shy as he said to Harmony, “Harmony, are you free for lunch tomorrow? I’d like to take you out. I’ll be staying here for a week for vacation, and we could have a meal and some coffee!” She also had a favorable impression of him. Firstly, he had taken good care of her during their interaction on stage just now. Without his witty cooperation, this promotional event would have been quite stiff.
At that moment, Ezekiel finished his call and saw Bird standing beside Harmony after turning around. Bird was quite intimidatingly handsome, but Ezekiel also gave people that feeling too, but in a different way. Ezekiel’s suave and humor easily captured women’s hearts Ezekiel suddenly felt a sense of competition.
He held his phone, walked over, and wrapped his arm around Harmony’s shoulder naturally. She was startled, and when she turned to find that it was Ezekiel, her heart raced.
He smiled and said with an imposing presence not inferior to Bird, “Sorry. Can I have a word with my girlfriend?” The emphasis on the words ‘my girlfriend’ was noticeable.
Upon seeing Ezekiel, Bird immediately understood that Harmony was with him and also recognized Ezekiel’s identity. He quickly said, “Sorry. I’ve taken up your girlfriend’s time.” Harmony waved to him as Ezekiel led her away to the other side. “I need to change backstage,” she said.
Ezekiel took her backstage. Sera had already witnessed the scene and approached them with a smile. “Mr. Weiss, you’re here.” “Sera, I’m going to change,” Harmony said.
“Sure! I’ll go with you,” Sera replied.
“I’ll wait here for you.” Ezekiel pulled a chair over and sat down.
Harmony and Sera entered the dressing room. Soon, Harmony changed back into her own dress and removed the accessories. Her long hair tumbled down her shoulders, exuding an enchanting charm.
On stage, she was a princess, but at this moment, she resembled an elegant fairy, which captivated Ezekiel. Despite the constant flow of elegant and beautiful girls coming and going around him, he seemed to see only her.
“Let’s have dinner together tonight,” Ezekiel said to her.
“Sure! It’s already past 5.00PM. I’ll treat you to dinner,” Harmony replied. Ezekiel smiled and accepted the gesture. “Okay. This meal will be on you.” Sera didn’t follow them this time. She felt genuinely happy for Harmony because his actions were evident today- he liked Harmony.
“You cooperated well with Bird on stage. Do you like him?” Ezekiel asked directly. Harmony couldn’t help feeling a bit flustered. “We were just cooperating for work. We’re colleagues.” “He’s very handsome!” he remarked.
She replied boldly, “He’s not my type.” “Oh?” Ezekiel responded with a meaningful glance at her and then narrowed his eyes to look at her. “What type of man do you like?” She blinked and then sized him up. “I like your type.” Ezekiel lightly hummed as he was not too pleased. “There’s more than one person in the world similar to my type.” Harmony chuckled. Now, she could boldly confess. “I like you, Mr. Weiss.” Yes, she liked not a man of his ‘type, but him.
For the first time, she had confessed to a man so boldly.
She felt she had to tell him about her feelings as she feared it might be too late.
Ezekiel looked satisfied, and there was a hint of boyish shyness on his handsome face. “When did you start liking me?” He wanted to know.
Harmony blushed slightly as she carefully considered and replied, “That day… that day when I kissed you in the hotel, I felt like I started to like you.” Ezekiel smiled, and his lips were pressed together. “It seems we liked each other at the same time!” She looked up and asked, “Did you also start liking me at that time?” “You were the first girl to kiss me and the first girl I’ve ever kissed,” Ezekiel said.
Harmony’s heart raced excitedly. She was the first girl he had kissed? How honored she felt!
As they stepped out of the main hall, some reporters were still gathered there.
Upon seeing Harmony and Ezekiel, they immediately approached. “Miss Mayo, can we have a quick interview?” “Sorry, I can’t do an interview right now. Thank you.” Harmony declined politely.
