“Where should I kiss, then?” the man asked with a low chuckle. Harmony didn’t dare to respond to his provocative words. She turned around with a smile. “I’m going to change into my pajamas.”
Ezekiel watched her escape into the room. He didn’t chase after her, knowing that she was his and couldn’t escape.
Harmony came out in a short, spaghetti- strapped nightgown, feeling more relaxed in front of Ezekiel now. His gaze was once again drawn to her, and he reached out to hold her slender waist. Harmony looked up, her face slightly flushed from the wine, her eyes alluring. She truly looked like a ripe peach.
Ezekiel held the back of her head and leaned in for a kiss. Having just taken off his suit, he was now in a white shirt, exuding a strong masculine charm.
It was another wonderful yet exhausting night, and Harmony thought she would break in two from her waist.
In the morning, she received a call from Sera. They were to meet with the director to discuss the script.
“Okay, I’ll be there,” Harmony assured.
“Where are you going?” Ezekiel overheard Harmony’s call as he came out of the shower.
“I have to meet with the director today, so I can’t have lunch with you,” she explained. She had just gotten out of bed and immediately felt soreness in her waist.
Seeing that, Ezekiel felt guilty for being too wild last night.
“You should rest if your waist is sore. You can meet the director another day,” Ezekiel suggested, concerned.
Harmony’s professionalism wouldn’t allow her to skip the meeting. She shook her head, “No, I have to go.”
He was so accomplished; how could she slack off?! While she couldn’t compare to him, she had to strive to improve.
“I’ll drive you then.”
“No need! My chauffeur will come and pick me up. Harmony didn’t want to trouble him.
Deep down, Ezekiel really wanted to tell her that he wanted to support her for the rest of their lives, and all she needed to do was be his woman. But he couldn’t say it out loud, for he respected Harmony’s decisions. Even if she wanted to continue working and acting, he respected her. He wouldn’t suppress her passions or confine her.
Respecting her in every way was the essence of his love for her.
“Okay, call me when you’re done with work, and I’ll come pick you up.”
“Okay! Thank you, Ezekiel.” Harmony kissed him on the cheek.
Meanwhile, Samantha was still in the hotel. She was eager to know how Ezekiel would react to
Harmony’s negative rumors. Would he be angry? Would he find Harmony repulsive? However, the hotel was too expensive, and she couldn’t afford to stay any longer. She had to check out before noon.
Regardless, she wished Harmony would be kicked out by him right now.
Harmony left to meet the director, and Ezekiel decided to visit his grandmother and have lunch with her.
In the lobby, Samantha, who was checking out, looked up and saw a man coming out of the elevator.
Her heart raced with excitement. She couldn’t believe her luck; she had run into Ezekiel here.
Not only her, but also the female staff members were thrilled. Catching a glimpse of such a handsome man could surely add years to their lives.
Emboldened, Samantha walked over to intercept Ezekiel. “Mr. Weiss, could you spare a moment for a chat?” she asked.
“What is it?” Frost instantly filled Ezekiel’s eyes upon seeing her.
“Mr. Weiss, please don’t believe the online smear campaign against Harmony. I believe she’s not like that. She’s a hard worker and would never use her sexuality to get ahead,” Samantha deliberately said.
Sure enough, Ezekiel faltered for a moment.
Samantha continued, “Truly, I trust Harmony’s character. She’s a virtuous person. Even though there’s evidence of her entering the director’s room late at night, I believe they were just discussing the script.
There’s absolutely no way she would engage in any unethical behavior.”
Meanwhile, she was overjoyed inside, believing she was effectively tarnishing Harmony’s reputation
She never thought she would have the chance to smear Harmony directly to Ezekiel. This was her payback for last night’s incident.
“I don’t want to hear about this. Move aside, Ezekiel said irritably.
Samantha quickly stepped aside. “Take care, Mr. Weiss.”
Watching Ezekiel’s retreating figure, a triumphant smile curled up at the corners of her lips. Harmony, just you wait! I’ll make Ezekiel despise you.
Ezekiel got into his car and started scrolling through Harmony’s news on his tablet. He quickly came across the latest scandal, which claimed she had entered the director’s room and attended banquets with executives.
He furrowed his brows deeply. No matter who spread the rumors, he would believe in Harmony’s innocence. That said, he would never let those who maliciously tarnished her reputation off the hook, either.
Back in the lobby, Samantha had just finished checking out. Little did she know, she had just made herself a ticket to prison, for Ezekiel wasn’t someone who would tolerate harm to those he cared about.
Meanwhile, Harmony was sitting in front of the director, having a successful discussion about the script.
The director also highly praised her acting skills.
“Harmony, the internet is buzzing with negative news about you. Do you want to do some PR?” the director, Heath Letterford, asked, as it was affecting their collaboration.
“Mr. Letterford, please trust Harmony. She’s not that kind of person, Sera said.
“I do trust you, but it would be better if you could handle this.”
Sera smiled. “Don’t worry! We’ll take care of it.”
Because a certain someone would never allow such a thing to happen.
At 3 p.m., Ezekiel called after finishing the script discussion. She picked up, “Ezekiel!”
“Are you done?” Ezekiel asked.
“Yes, we’re done. Are you here?”
