Harmony was already standing beside Ezekiel. Grumbling, she said, “You didn’t even ask me out for a gym session? You know I want to work out.” She stood on tiptoes and kissed Ezekiel on his cheek.
Ezekiel put an arm around Harmony’s waist and kissed her in front of everyone. “I wore you out last night, so I didn’t want to disturb you,” said Ezekiel.
It was an obvious enough hint. Everyone could see that Ezekiel railed Harmony for a long while last night.
Samantha heard everything, and every fiber of her being was filled with jealousy. Why did Ezekiel change the moment Harmony shows up? I thought he was supposed to be celibate.
“Don’t be so smug.” Harmony raised her head.
Ezekiel smiled. “Why shouldn’t I be? Next time you introduce me to anyone, make it clear we’re dating.
I don’t mind you calling me honey, you know.”
Harmony did not expect Ezekiel to take this further than her, but she played along. “Fine, I’ll tell everyone you’re my husband next time. Maybe then they’ll stop thinking they have a chance to steal you away from me.”
That was directed at Samantha, and Samantha’s face turned green, red, purple, white, and even more colors in the span of moments.
Ezekiel scanned Samantha coldly. Then, he said adamantly, “Don’t worry. You’re the only one I love.
No one can steal you away from me.”
Samantha noticed that icy glance, and she inhaled sharply. Ezekiel was not like what she imagined at all. What kind of man is he?
“Good,” said Harmony happily. There’s no need to humiliate Samantha anymore. This is more than enough humiliation for her. Samantha tried to leave as gracefully as she could. “I-I’ll leave you two to it.”
“I’ll send my friend off,” said Harmony.
“Sure. Come back to me later.” Ezekiel nodded and let her leave. Harmony approached Samantha. “I’ll send you off, Samantha.”
Samantha knew that wasn’t just the thing Harmony wanted to do. She had no choice but to leave
Ezekiel. Once they were out of his earshot, she turned around. “You aren’t just sending me off. Are you,
Harmony?”
“And you didn’t come to the gym this early just to work out, did you?” Harmony retorted, exposing
Samantha’s plan.
Samantha smiled. “So, you do know what I was going for.
Harmony didn’t look happy at all. Instead, she replied coldly, “I was happy to see an old friend, but after everything you did… I know you’re not the old Samantha I knew.”
“No one’s the same anymore. You’re different as well. You’ve learned how to be shrewd. Plus, you hooked up with a rich guy. Why? Don’t want to share your good fortune with your friends?” said
Samantha, treating Ezekiel like some sort of exquisite merchandise to be shared.
Harmony became angry as she sneered, “Do not insult my boyfriend, Samantha. He is not for sharing.
He is mine alone.”
Samantha curled her lips into a nonchalant smirk. “You’re too naive, Harmony. In all these years in this industry, I’ve never seen any rich guy staying loyal to one woman. Dream on. We’re friends, right? If he dumps you one day, you can hook us up. If I get any good guys, I’ll hook you up with them too.”
Harmony looked at Samantha. “I’m only saying this as your friend, Samantha. You shouldn’t be so promiscuous. If you catch any diseases down the line, you’ll suffer. Being someone’s plaything isn’t a badge of honor.”
Samantha’s temper flared. “Don’t you take that tone with me, Harmony. You’re not that noble yourself.
I’ll be waiting for the day you get kicked to the curb, just like what Reuben did to you.
Harmony heaved a sigh, restraining her anger. “No. God kicked that jerk away from my life and let me meet the man I truly like.”
Samantha scoffed at that notion. “Don’t make it sound like divine providence. We all know Reuben dumped you.”
Harmony arched her eyebrow as she refuted, “So? I don’t care. But if you try to steal my boyfriend away, I’ll drag you down even if it’s the last thing I do.”
“Why you…”
“And if you tell the media about my whereabouts again, I will sue you,” warned Harmony. Samantha harrumphed. “And how do you know I did it?”
“I just do.” Harmony whirled and flounced off.
Samantha stomped her foot angrily. She had lost her chance, and the money would never be hers now.
She had no idea why Ezekiel was so hard to seduce.
When Harmony returned, Ezekiel was waiting for her. Then, he wasted no time helping her train. A
while later, a film of sweat was covering Harmony’s skin.
Ezekiel felt himself heating up at the sight. He wrapped an arm around her as he murmured, “Let’s get back to our room and take a shower.”
“So… we’re not training anymore?” Harmony asked curiously.
Ezekiel saw the guys around staring at her from time to time. Even though they were only looking, he didn’t like it at all. “I’ll get you an exclusive gym for yourself. Don’t come to crowded places like this,”
said Ezekiel, a little jealous. He held her hand and left the gym.
Harmony followed him into the elevator, back to their room, and into the bathroom. It was then
Harmony realized what Ezekiel was trying to do. Even though he was a little flushed, Harmony had practically turned into a tomato. “Are we really going to shower together?” asked Harmony quietly.
“Yep,” said Ezekiel with determination. “I’ll scrub your back.”
I don’t think he’s going to just scrub my back. I don’t believe him at all. “You sure you’re only going to scrub my back?” Harmony raised her head, teasing him.
Ezekiel chuckled and pulled her closer. “If you want me to do something more, I won’t say no.”
Harmony grinned. “You’re raring to go, aren’t you?”
