Harmony had no reason to be on guard against this employee. Seeing that Harmony’s shawl was fastened with a pin, the employee seized the opportunity and reached out to undo the brooch.
By the time Harmony realized what was happening, it was too late. The shawl slipped off her body. Her first instinct was to turn around, facing away from the audience.
Due to her quick turn, the media didn’t capture her front, leaving only a rather alluring back view.
Still, Ezekiel captured Harmony’s embarrassment. He immediately took off his suit jacket and strode to the stage, draping it over Harmony’s shoulders in an instant. Harmony caught a familiar scent and looked up in surprise, tightly wrapping Ezekiel’s suit around her.
“Let’s go. I’ll make sure they are held accountable for this,” Ezekiel’s handsome face had turned serious.
Mindy had been expecting Harmony to be embarrassed, but to her surprise, before Harmony could reveal anything, a man’s suit jacket was draped over her.
Annoyed, she asked, “Who is that man? Why did he go on stage?”
“He seems to be Miss Mayo’s boyfriend!” said the employee. Mindy scoffed. “This is our company’s event. How can outsiders interfere? Where is Harmony?”
“In the lounge, I think.”
At that moment, Harmony had indeed entered the rest area. When Ezekiel looked down and saw her outfit, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. “Who made you dress like this?”
“The brand, of course,” Sera huffed. “I seriously can’t understand why they would want Harmony to wear such revealing clothes.”
“That employee deliberately unfastened my shawl just now. I think they simply want to embarrass me in front of the media.” Harmony was also furious.
Ezekiel clenched his fist. “I will make them pay.”
“I’ll go change my clothes, and then we can leave!” Harmony said, and just as she was changing,
Mindy came in, snapping, “Where is Harmony Mayo? Why isn’t she on stage?”
Ezekiel, who was facing the dressing room and had his back to Mindy, turned around. He looked at this arrogant and rude woman and said gravely, “Are you the one who forced my girlfriend to wear that dress?”
Mindy was startled. Ezekiel’s gaze was piercing.
“Well… we also need it for brand promotion,” Mindy stammered.
“You’d better prepare your lawyers. I will sue your company into bankruptcy.” Ezekiel’s tone was filled with hostility. It seemed that he would follow through with his words.
Mindy turned pale with fright. She looked at Sera for help, but Sera ignored her. Mindy quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I apologize to Miss Mayo, I was too negligent.”
“Miss Sharp, it’s too late to apologize,” Sera reminded her. “You’d better prepare your lawyers! Mr.
Weiss always follows through with his words.”
Mindy was so scared that her mind went blank for a few seconds, and the desire to win had long disappeared.
After Ezekiel left with Harmony, Mindy hurriedly grabbed Sera, “Sera, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to make things difficult for your artist. It was a misunderstanding, really. The media didn’t capture anything anyway. Can we just let this go?”
Sera sneered, “Misunderstanding? If my artist hadn’t turned around in time, and her outfit was captured, do you know what kind of harm she would face? Mindy, how can you still be manipulated by others in your position? Maybe you didn’t mean to target my artist, but you were used by others. You’ll have to face the consequences!”
“Sera, please give me a way out. I’m really, really sorry.” Mindy’s eyes were red with desperation. She felt deeply regretful at this moment.
“This is not something I can decide anymore. It’s all up to Mr. Weiss. He will follow through with his words.” Sera pushed Mindy’s hand away and left.
Mindy finally understood that she had been manipulated by Catalina. While Catalina was just a phone call away, Mindy had risked her entire career.
Mindy swayed as her mind went blank for a moment when an employee ran over and asked her, “Miss
Sharp, will Miss Mayo come back on stage?”
But Mindy didn’t answer because she was completely lost.
All she wanted to do now was to beg Harmony for forgiveness, to ask her to resolve this matter, and not to take away her job.
At this moment, Harmony sat in the car with Ezekiel’s suit jacket draped over her. Her head was still buzzing, but she felt relieved that she had turned around in time to cover her chest. Ezekiel promptly offered his suit, saving her from embarrassment.
Ezekiel stood outside the car, making a phone call. He was clearly even more furious, determined to eliminate this brand from the market.
His subordinates also sensed his rage and were prepared to take immediate action. Just then,
Harmony’s phone rang. Despite seeing that it was an unknown number, she still answered it. “Hello!
Who is this?”
“Miss Mayo, it’s me, Mindy Sharp. I’m so sorry. I apologize for my actions today.” Mindy could no longer maintain her vice president demeanor and was apologizing deferentially on the other end.
However, Harmony didn’t want to hear an apology, nor did she have a positive impression of Mindy.
“Miss Sharp, you don’t need to apologize to me, and I won’t accept it.”
“Miss Mayo, how about this? I will compensate you. Will that satisfy your anger? Can we resolve this matter privately?” Mindy suggested, not wanting to escalate the matter to higher authorities.
“No need. My lawyer will contact you,” Harmony said and hung up the phone.
She then went online to check the posts. Sure enough, some reporters had captured some side shots of her. Although her front outfit was not clear, her panicked look had attracted the attention of her fans, and there were some malicious comments below.
‘If you dare to wear such revealing clothes, why are you so scared of letting people see it? What, are we unworthy?’
‘Surely she hasn’t dressed up like this for us to see. I bet it’s a free show for the top executives. Seeing these comments, Harmony was genuinely upset.
‘What a diva! I can’t believe she left just like that! Isn’t she paid to advertise? She’s breaching the contract!’
Harmony decided not to read the comments anymore. At the same time, Ezekiel opened the car door and sat in. Seeing Harmony’s hair a bit ruffled, he reached out and gently tidied it for her. “Next time something like this happens, just tell me and let me handle it. Don’t let people bully you.”
Touched, Harmony nodded. “Got it.”
Ezekiel tenderly held her in his arms and ordered his bodyguard to drive them back to the hotel so
Harmony could rest.
