“We both are.” Ezekiel took her deeper into the bathroom. Harmony looked at his body. The veins were throbbing after that gym session.
She poked his chest.
Ezekiel looked at her as he asked flirtily, “Is it hard enough? I can train more.”
Harmony said sheepishly, “It’s hard enough.” You have a ton of stamina, you know that?
Ezekiel held Harmony’s head and did to her the things he’d been wanting to do on the way back.
Harmony was dizzy from the kiss. It was early in the morning, and they were already so intense. I can’t take this.
Samantha was pacing around in the room. Her manager arrived, and they asked, “You sure you’re out of options? This is a million and a half. You should try to make him yours.”
“I did, but my moves were useless. He’s not like the guys I met. The look in his eyes tells me that much.”
“But you’re hot. You can seduce any man you want.” The manager was confident in her.
Samantha sighed. “I don’t think he’s the kind of guy who only cares about looks. It doesn’t matter how much I tried, he was all icy. But for some reason, he gets all tender and soft the very second Harmony shows up.”
“But didn’t Harmony date Reuben for five years? She’s not exactly unused goods. Why does Ezekiel like her?”
“Who knows? I underestimated her. I can’t finish this job.
“Just try. I heard Ezekiel’s going to attend a banquet tonight. I’ll slot you in.”
“Banquet? An upscale one?”
“Held by Presgrave Corporation. Do you have any idea of the hoops I went through just to get you a spot?”
“I’ll try. I’ll dress up nicely and try to catch his attention.”
“Let’s try. It’s a million and a half. It’s been a while since you made that kind of money. I can only take
20% of that, but you? You can take the rest.”
Presgrave Corporation did have a business dinner that night, and Ezekiel was naturally invited.
It was afternoon. Harmony felt someone kissing her forehead. She was tired, but she still opened her eyes. Ezekiel was sitting beside her. Harmony held his hand and buried her face in his palm. Then, she promptly went back to sleep.
Ezekiel leaned lower and said, “There’s a banquet tonight, and I need you to be my date.”
Harmony blinked. “You need me to go with you?”
“Yep,” said Ezekiel.
Harmony nodded. “Sure.” She then held his hand, refusing to let him go. Ezekiel didn’t pull his hand back either. He lay on his side and stayed with her. Once Harmony had slept enough, she rolled herself off the bed. When Ezekiel looked at her neck, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Harmony knew what he was laughing at. So, she hastily covered her neck. “Don’t laugh. I told you not to kiss me there.”
Ezekiel smiled. “It’s alright. I want everyone to know you’re mine.”
“Are you friends with the Presgraves?” Harmony asked curiously.
“Yep. Our families have been friends for generations. My dad’s good friends with the Presgrave
Family’s head.”
Harmony leaped into his embrace. She loved his scent. She would stay in his embrace forever if she could.
Ezekiel patted her head and kissed it. “We’ll go to the boutique later.”
“It’s alright. I can get Sera to go with me. You can get back to work if you have to,” said Harmony in consideration.
Ezekiel smiled. “Thanks for your understanding.”
Harmony asked Sera to go on a trip to the boutique in the afternoon. The Presgrave banquet was no ordinary banquet. Thus, they had to be more meticulous with the gown. Ezekiel gave her a black card and told her to try out all the gowns she liked. Money was no problem. Harmony didn’t want to take it at first, but Ezekiel insisted. So, she took it from him.
Samantha was also getting busy in the boutique. She picked a sexy gown for the night. Even if she couldn’t seduce Ezekiel, she had to snag someone. Besides, all the guests for the Presgrave banquet were rich and powerful. She would never let this chance go.
Samantha was on the couch, served by a waitress. She then saw someone coming in. When she raised her head, she met Harmony’s eyes. Samantha rose to her feet. “What a coincidence. Don’t tell me you’re going to the Presgrave banquet tonight.”
“You too?” Harmony asked.
Samantha said smugly, “What? You think you can go but not me? I have lots of resources and connections.”
Harmony said in disgust, “Sure, go. Just don’t get in my way,”
“Sorry, but I’m there for Mr. Weiss. I’ll make sure he looks at me,” said Samantha brazenly. Harmony narrowed her eyes and ignored her. That was the only way to deal with shameless people like
Samantha.
Samantha harrumphed. “I’m challenging you, Harmony, I will make Mr. Weiss mine.”
Sera said, “Your plan will fail, Samantha. Mr. Weiss will not fall for women like you.”
“We’ll see.” Samantha cocked her eyebrow. “I know men more than you two do.”
Harmony bit her lip. Then, she remembered what Ezekiel told her. With the friendship Ezekiel shares with the Presgraves, it’s not hard to cancel Samantha’s invitation, right? Harmony had never tried to attack anyone before. Yet, she really couldn’t resist pulling such a stunt when it came to Samantha.
This woman had gone too far.
Harmony and Sera went upstairs. The manager came over and introduced all the gowns and origins of those dresses. Harmony was big and famous enough that the public knew who she was. The manager wouldn’t dare to slack off on this.
Harmony was trying out gowns on the second floor. Samantha wondered what she would wear for the banquet. So, she found an excuse to come upstairs. When she saw that Harmony was trying the gown she tried earlier but couldn’t afford to rent, she felt crushed.
The gowns the waitress handed to Harmony were rare items or expensive ones. These weren’t items money alone could afford. Only famous people could get their hands on them. Samantha might have made some money from the rich guys, but she didn’t have any achievements she could be proud of, thanks to her little side job.
On the other hand, after the Asian film Harmony starred in became a hit, she starred in an ad for a famous jewelry company. Then, she received a guest appearance in an international film. All these accomplishments had turned her into an A-lister in the industry almost overnight.
