“Leave it to us! We’ll tell a compelling story.”
“Fabricate as much as you can, preferably turning her image into a rotten b*tch who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.”
“Don’t worry! We have plenty of material that fits her image!”
Finally, venting a bit of her frustration, Samantha exhaled a murky breath and said, “Better at last.”
“Do you have no better use for that 150 thousand than on the media?!” Her agent sighed helplessly.
Just then, Samantha picked up her phone to check the trending list and saw herself on it. The headline read, ‘Actress Impeded at Banquet, in a Sorry State.
“Ugh! I can’t believe these reporters wrote about me like this!” Samantha’s chest heaved in anger as she demanded her agent. “Get this trending topic down!”
“With such high traffic, it will cost at least 700 thousand to get it down. Where do we get that kind of money? Just let it hang there! It’s not the first time we’ve gone viral.” The agent didn’t want to deal with it anymore because Samantha wasn’t making her any money.
Samantha glared at the banquet hall of the hotel. This trending topic was all thanks to Harmony, she wouldn’t let her off so easily.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, Ezekiel introduced Harmony to Jared, and Harmony, being in the most prestigious circle, had only ever heard of Jared, a top-tier wealthy heir, but had no chance to meet him.
Now, she realized that Ezekiel was on the same level as Jared.
She was very humble and polite to the guests around Ezekiel, and indeed, she was a well- behaved companion.
However, being unaccustomed to such occasions, she soon had a bit too much red wine and started feeling a bit lightheaded. Coupled with the pressure of the glamorous social scene, she began to experience a considerable amount of stress.
“Ezekiel, I’m going to take a break over there. Come find me later,” Harmony said to him.
“Are you tired? Do you want to go home?” Ezekiel looked at her with concern. Harmony smiled. “I’m not tired. I just need some time to myself. You go ahead.”
Ezekiel indeed had many guests to attend to that night. He led her to a nearby couch and handed her a cup of warm water. “Don’t drink any more wine, alright? Have some warm water instead.”
“Okay!” Harmony nodded. She really needed some water. As soon as Ezekiel left, the two ladies from earlier suddenly appeared, sitting on either side of her.
“Miss Mayo, we’re sorry about earlier! We didn’t mean to offend you.”
“Yes, please don’t take it personally!”
Harmony didn’t expect them to come over and apologize. She smiled faintly. “It’s okay!”
“Is that your boyfriend? What’s his name? Which family is he from?”
They hadn’t managed to find out about Ezekiel’s background, so they decided to check with Harmony.
Upon hearing their apology, Harmony realized they were trying to find out about Ezekiel through her, and she retorted, “Are you interested in my boyfriend?”
The two girls blushed awkwardly for a few seconds, then chuckled, “We just want to get to know him.
We won’t steal your boyfriend.”
“If you’re curious, find out for yourselves! I just want some peace.” Harmony didn’t bother to be polite.
The two girls had no choice but to leave. They had actually gotten in through connections and didn’t come from affluent families. They were hoping to meet some wealthy young men here.
Looking at Ezekiel in the crowd, dazzling and charming, Harmony suddenly felt overwhelmed, feeling that she didn’t deserve a man like him. She was unworthy, for he was absolutely outstanding.
She had always been self-aware, knowing her worth and living a clear-headed life. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a message. It was from Sera, forwarding a trending post from Samantha. Looking at Samantha in the photo, Harmony didn’t feel any pleasure or pride. She just thought the malice in this circle was too heavy.
She just wanted to focus on acting, love her career, and earn some money. This was why she had always stayed true to her original intention and didn’t fight for anything.
Her popularity was the result of her hard work, and her acting skills were recognized because of her dedication.
There were all sorts of speculations about her sleeping with directors and executives to climb up the ladder, but she was too exhausted to argue at this point.
At this moment, an old rumor about her sleeping with directors and executives resurfaced online, suddenly gaining popularity.
Alas, her current fame and status had brought her old rumors back into the spotlight.
Out of boredom, she swiped her phone to check the news, only to see her own scandal, and she clenched her fists in anger. These people just won’t let it go!
Just then, a message from Sera came in, ‘Harmony, ignore the rumors online. I suspect someone deliberately paid to spread them!
Harmony had recently offended quite a few people, including Catalina, Samantha, and various individuals competing with her for resources. So, she didn’t need to guess who it was specifically. But to say it didn’t affect her mood was impossible. Reading the comments from netizens was quite upsetting.
After exchanging greetings with Jared, Ezekiel approached Harmony. Seeing her looking bored and frowning, he couldn’t help but feel guilty and thought bringing her to these business banquets was a mistake. Next time, he wouldn’t force her to join him and would let her rest at home instead.
Sensing someone approaching, Harmony lifted her head and saw that it was Ezekiel. Quickly, she stashed her phone into her bag, not wanting him to see the negative rumors circulating online.
“Come on, let’s go home,” Ezekiel suggested. Seeing her face unnaturally flushed, he reached out to help her up while checking her forehead with his free hand.
Harmony was just a bit tipsy and woozy from too much red wine, not sick.
“No fever, but your face is red. Are you feeling stuffy?” Ezekiel asked with concern.
Harmony shook her head. “No.”
She was flushed with anger, genuinely upset by the negative rumors.
Indeed, she felt much better after stepping outside with Ezekiel and feeling the natural night breeze.
Dressed in an evening gown, she looked exceptionally charming, and her figure was perfect for such a curve-revealing attire.
Once they got into the car, they headed straight back to the hotel. Harmony didn’t want to think about anything at the moment; she just leaned on the man’s shoulder and dozed off.
Ezekiel held her shoulder, occasionally lowering his head to check on her. Once they reached their hotel room, Harmony turned her back to him. “Can you pull the zipper down for me?”
Ezekiel reached out to unzip her dress. Having admired her all night, he couldn’t resist leaning down to plant a kiss on her fair shoulder.
Harmony squirmed, “Don’t kiss there.”
