Harmony was someone to be envied in the industry. Regular celebrities wouldn’t even dare mock her now.
Harmony saw Samantha peeping at her through the corner of her eye. She looked at Samantha, and
Samantha seized the opportunity to make her presence known. She approached her, smiling. “I think you should pick another gown, Harmony. You don’t have it in you to express the full beauty of this one.”
Sera said, “I don’t suppose it’s anything you should be worried about. Harmony has it in her to express the full beauty of anything she wears.”
Samantha’s face fell in dismay as she said, “I’ll be waiting to witness your embarrassment tonight.”
“I wonder if you can even get in,” Harmony retorted, standing up.
An amused Samantha arched her eyebrow. “What? You think you can cancel my invitation?”
Harmony smiled. “Perhaps I can.”
This time, Samantha couldn’t maintain the smile on her face any longer. She decided not to get on
Harmony’s nerves further because she really needed to join this banquet.
Harmony saw her off, and a gratified Sera said, “She should feel lucky you didn’t go after her. I can’t believe she came after you.”
Later that day, Harmony received a call from Ezekiel. He was here to pick her up. Harmony thought about it and brought her earlier plan up to Ezekiel. “Samantha’s going to show up tonight, but I don’t want to see her, Ezekiel. Can you somehow stop her from showing up?” asked Harmony.
Ezekiel hated women like Samantha as well. It was easy to grant Harmony her wish. All he had to do was call, and Harmony’s mood wouldn’t be ruined. “Of course.” Thus, Ezekiel called Jared. “Hey,
Jared, I need you to stop a certain guest from joining the banquet tonight. I don’t want to see her there.
No, she’s not an important guest. Just someone’s date.”
“Sure, give me her name. I’ll tell the guards to deny her entry,” said Jared.
After the call, Ezekiel put an arm around Harmony’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. You don’t have to see her tonight.”
“Thank you.” Harmony leaned on his chest, staring at the strobing neon lights outside. She was in a beautiful gown, looking like a princess, ready to attend a ball. She now understood why so many people wanted to climb the social ladder. The scenery at the top was gorgeous and relaxing. After she met Ezekiel, he was the one who took her hand and led her to a higher place in life to see the prettiest things this life had to offer.
She was grateful and never greedy. Sometimes, she thought she couldn’t even show off her delight.
Otherwise, the gods might get jealous and snatch everything from her.
The Presgrave banquet saw top dogs from the world of politics and business gathered together. It was a friendly banquet, and Jared, the heir to the Presgraves, was the host.
Tons of reporters were outside the venue as well. They wouldn’t dare expose the top dogs’ identities and what they were doing, but if they could capture any photos with celebrities in them. That way, they wouldn’t be sued if they posted it online.
Lots of celebrities were joining that night. People from the world of emcees showed up, too. As dusk fell and lights shone brighter, a beautiful silhouette came out of a black car. She was the popular celebrity of the year, Harmony Mayo. She was holding the hand of a man who was obviously the rich kid of a really wealthy man. Plus, the woman that the man was holding hands with was gorgeous.
Every wave of her hand and every gaze she gave the camera would gain furious clicks and shutters.
Even the winds that night blessed her. When she turned around, her hair billowed in the wind. Frankly, she looked like an angel who had fallen to Earth.
“She’s gorgeous. I had no idea Harmony was this regal or this beautiful.”
“Don’t you know? Tons of hotties were in the movie she was in, but she shone brighter than all of them.
She was just a mere newbie back then. Her looks are out of this world.”
After Harmony entered the venue, these reporters decided to take a break. Not too long later, someone else caught their eyes.
“Hey, that’s Samantha. Quick. I can’t believe she’s here. Then again, it’s not surprising. Wherever there are rich guys, she’ll definitely be there.”
Samantha dressed for the occasion. She spent six figures renting this dress all to catch enough attention. The one place she stood out more than Harmony was how much she would reveal to the public, and the media loved taking photos of her skin. Samantha looked at the reporters and waved at them, showing off poses. The rich guy beside him was more than 50 years old as he said, “Let’s go in.
Don’t want to be late.”
Samantha stopped posing and held the man’s arm. Then, they went ahead. Guards were verifying the guests’ identities at the entrance. The rich guy handed his invitation, and all Samantha had to do was show her ID. Alas, after the guard checked her ID, he extended his arm. “She cannot go in.”
Samantha was shocked. “What? Why?”
The rich guy defended her, “This is my partner. Please, can you show some leniency and let her in?”
“I’m sorry, sir, but our boss told us she can’t be allowed inside.”
Since the host of this banquet banned Samantha, it had to mean there was something wrong with her.
He only took her along because it was convenient. Unfortunately, he couldn’t vouch for her now and risk his reputation. “Sorry, Ms. Leiderman. You should go back now.”
“Hey, can you talk to them for a bit? I really want to go in, Samantha pleaded, holding Mr. Boston’s hand.
Mr. Boston pulled her aside and whispered, “I think you crossed someone you shouldn’t. I have no power here, so you should leave. We’ll talk later. I’m running late.” Mr. Boston left, leaving Samantha behind.
The reporters quickly snapped the scene. It was more than obvious that Samantha was denied entry.
This was a good scoop.
Samantha stood facing the winds awkwardly. She bit her lip and was reminded of what Harmony said. I wonder if you can even get in. Her face contorted in rage. “You? Did you do this, you b*tch?” Samantha knew it was Harmony. She hooked up with Ezekiel and had to have told him to deny Samantha entry.
Dammit. I spent a lot of money on this dress. If I can’t get in, I can’t show it off. She had to stoop and call Harmony for help.
Harmony was on the couch, taking a break. She heard her phone ring. Since she never logged
Samantha’s number in her contacts, she answered the call, “Who is this?”
“It’s me, Samantha. Harmony, I’m sorry for saying all that to you. Can you please let me come in? I promise I won’t get in your way.”
Harmony was stunned. She didn’t think Samantha would beg for her mercy. Harmony sneered, “Why are you begging me? It’s funny you would think I’d help you.”
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Please. I spent a hundred and fifty grand to rent this dress. I can’t waste that money. We used to be friends. Please let me in.”
Harmony was reminded of how Samantha tried to seduce Ezekiel earlier that morning. So, she quickly made up her mind and said coldly, “I won’t let you in because I don’t want to see you, Samantha.”
