“Miss Mayo, it’s just a few questions. It’ll be quick.” “No. Thank you,” Harmony said before grabbing Ezekiel’s hand and walking away.
However, the reporters surged forward. She knew these journalists could be persistent, so she grabbed Ezekiel’s hand and said, “Let’s run.” With that, she pulled him along, and they started running. They dashed across an empty grassy area, her long hair fluttering in the wind as he ran alongside her. It felt like they were abandoning all worldly concerns and eloping.
The reporters and photographers behind couldn’t catch up as they were lugging around their equipment.
When Harmony stopped, she was breathless. As she turned, she accidentally bumped into the man’s arms, and the two of them ended up tightly pressed against each other.
Ezekiel was slightly breathless as he looked at her, and both of them couldn’t help but laugh. Harmony felt bold as she stretched out her arms, hugged Ezekiel, and rested against his chest for a moment.
“May I hug you?” she asked.
“Feel free.” His chin rested on her shoulder lightly She hugged him happily. She did not want to let go at that moment, and not ever in this lifetime.
Harmony shyly buried her face in his chest until a group of people passed by.
Ezekiel continued to hold her while ignoring the stares around them on this lively evening.
Upon arriving at the spot where Ezekiel had parked, he was momentarily stunned as he looked at the empty space.
“Is your car missing?” Harmony asked quickly. He sighed. “I was in a hurry and didn’t park properly. It might have been towed by the traffic police.” She felt sorry for him. However, after hearing that he was rushing and hadn’t found a parking spot, she wondered if he was in a hurry to come see her.
“I’ll contact Sera. She probably hasn’t left yet. I’ll ask her to send us to the restaurant,” Harmony suggested.
Ezekiel nodded. “Okay.” He then picked up his phone and instructed the bodyguard to handle his car situation.
Soon, Sera sent a driver to pick them up and take them to a quiet restaurant.
While the place was expensive, Harmony didn’t mind; she wanted to treat him.
Their dinner was delightful. She shared some fun anecdotes from her filming experiences, while he spoke of some of the unusual encounters in his daily life.
In the blink of an eye, dinner ended. She paid the bill secretly for fear that Ezekiel might try to do so covertly, so it was better for her to make a move first.
During Ezekiel’s restroom break, he indeed headed toward the reception to pay.
However, when he attempted to settle the bill, the server smiled and said, “Miss Mayo has already paid.” Ezekiel had no choice but to return to the private room. Harmony caught his eye and looked a bit smug. “What’s wrong? Did you want to steal my bill? Not tonight. I said I would treat you, so I’m keeping my promise.”
Ezekiel could only say, “Okay, the next one’s on me.”
Harmony did not refute either because only that way could they plan for their next meeting.
“Have you informed your bodyguard to come and pick you up?” she asked.
“I haven’t informed them,”
Ezekiel said, his deep gaze filled with anticipation.
“Can I return to your place and rest for a while?”
Filled with surprise, Harmony seemed to have not considered rejecting him or being wary of him.
She wanted nothing more than for him to go to her home.
However, she nodded gracefully on the surface and said, “Of course.My place isn’t very far from here, and it’s easy to hail a cab here.”
Ezekiel nodded.
“Okay, let’s go to your place then.”
When they exited the restaurant, the outside had already transformed into a bustling and vibrant night view.
The distant skyscrapers seemed particularly magnificent and dazzling, while the shops below exuded a lively atmosphere.
Harmony enjoyed such a feeling.
She held Ezekiel’s wrist and urged, “Let’s go.I booked a cab.It’ll be here soon.”
Allowing her to hold his hand, Ezekiel walked with her to the side of the road, where a driver stopped before them in a while.
Then, Harmony opened the car door, letting Ezekiel get in before she did.
While the driver was usually good at his job, too many people were outside at night, so he had to slam on the brakes several times and accelerate suddenly.
During a sharp turn, Harmony fell directly into Ezekiel’s arms.
Ezekiel immediately held her tightly in his embrace.
In the dimly lit backseat, the two found themselves squished together, but it felt sweet because they rarely had an opportunity to do so.
Therefore, while the driver was speeding, he had inadvertently created a perfect chance for the two in the back to cuddle.
Harmony’s face must be flushed because she could feel it burning.
Although she often had physical contact with male actors during filming, she usually didn’t feel anything.
However, for some reason, she felt her body suddenly warming up after falling into Ezekiel’s embrace.
Is it because of the pleasant musky fragrance on him, or is it the captivating masculine scent? At last, the driver managed to get Harmony home in just 15 minutes, which she felt reluctant about.
She had never wished that the driver would take a longer route, but this time, she truly wished the driver would have intentionally taken a longer detour.
After Harmony paid the fare, the driver couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Are you that actress?”
That rendered her slightly embarrassed as she was not expecting to be recognized.
She smiled without responding, and the driver left.
Seeing Ezekiel tidying his somewhat disheveled shirt and collar on the side, Harmony couldn’t help but smile when she recalled she had been clutching his shirt just now.
