“Mr. Nagy, don’t be so familiar. We’re not close.” Sera huffed.
“Harmony, I know we’re no longer together, but I can’t forget the difficult times we shared. I believe we can still be friends, right?” Reuben looked at Harmony with his usual affectionate gaze and shamelessly stated, attempting to evoke Harmony’s sympathy and pity.
Unable to take it anymore, Sera refuted, “You just want to curry favor with Harmony, don’t you, Nagy?
What, does your former benefactor, Catalina, not care about you anymore?”
“Sera, don’t misunderstand. Catalina and I merely had a business relationship. We’ve terminated our collaboration and have no connection now. I just can’t forget you, Harmony, and the happy moments we shared.”
“Happy moments? For me, those are memories I’d rather forget. Leave, Reuben. Don’t bother me anymore. We’re just strangers now.” Harmony said coldly.
“Harmony, I know you’re not this heartless. You’re the most gentle and understanding person I’ve ever met. So, we can still be friends, and I promise we’re only friends.”
Harmony felt revolted. She didn’t expect Reuben to be so shameless.
“Reuben, have you no shame? Must I curse at you before you’re pleased?! Do you think a despicable person like you is worthy of being my friend? Get lost!” Harmony cursed. She knew the only way to deal with a person like Reuben was to be harsh.
Reuben was dumbfounded. The Harmony, who never cursed, was now calling him despicable in front of so many people and even telling him to get lost!
Sera also watched with great interest, hoping Harmony would curse at him even more.
“Harmony, we’ve been together for so long. Can’t you leave me with some dignity? Although I’m down and out now, our past can’t be erased. We had dated in the past.”
“Thinking about the days with you makes me sick. Don’t mention the past to me. You’re not worthy!
And why aren’t you sucking up to your Catalina? Why are you here? Do you think I’ll pity you and help you? You’re dreaming. I’ve already done you a favor by not using my connections to cut off your resources.” Harmony sneered.
The nearby attendants observed this drama unfold. They also held no fondness for Reuben, for when he and Catalina had come, he was very arrogant, bossing them around. He even flirted with the prettier attendants.
Now, Harmony’s scolding had alleviated their anger.
Reuben didn’t anticipate this. He thought he could gain Harmony’s sympathy by acting pitiful, but it seemed he was mistaken. Harmony was no longer the Harmony he used to know.
“Harmony, can we find a place to sit down and talk? There are too many people here.” Reuben pleaded. He didn’t want to lose any more dignity, but he also didn’t want to give up the chance to plead with Harmony.
Upon finally encountering her, he was determined to gain an advantage before anything else.
Sera couldn’t help but laugh. “Reuben, you deserve this. How dare you come to Harmony! I suggest you stop humiliating yourself and go home!”
“Sera, considering the favors I’ve done for you in the past, could you put in a good word for me? You know my current situation. I was forced by Catalina. I didn’t mean to hurt Harmony, really.” With that,
Reuben turned to Harmony. “Harmony, I genuinely didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“I should thank Catalina for helping me see your true colors. And I should thank you too. Your departure allowed me to meet my current boyfriend,” Harmony retorted sarcastically.
“I know your boyfriend is very influential, Harmony. I congratulate you and wish you well. I have no ulterior motives today. I just hope that the next time you take on a role, you could help me get a part. I want to act in the same drama as you. Is that okay?” Reuben pleaded.
Harmony firmly refused, “No, you are absolutely not allowed to participate in my shows. Even if the director invites you, I will quit.”
Reuben had been begging for so long, but not only did he fail to get Harmony’s help, but he also suffered a lot. Especially the ruthless look Harmony gave him at the end, which finally crushed his last bit of dignity as a man.
“Harmony, you…”
“If you dare to curse me, I’ll have my boyfriend blacklist you,” Harmony threatened, her eyes filled with anger.
Sure enough, Reuben didn’t dare to curse her, so he stepped aside and said to Harmony, “Harmony, there’s no need for us to argue, right? Okay, I came to the wrong place today. You go ahead!”
Sera took Harmony’s arm and left. Having finally vented her anger after so long, Harmony felt relieved.
After Harmony left, Reuben turned around to see the attendants laughing at him. He couldn’t help but curse, “What are you laughing at? Laugh, and I’ll smash your shop.”
Reuben quickly left after his threat. He didn’t have the courage to actually damage the shop because he couldn’t afford to pay for the repairs.
Reuben had another hobby, gambling. However, he didn’t gamble within the country but abroad. So, he was genuinely broke. Catalina couldn’t borrow money from him because he was already in debt.
Harmony returned to the set for night shooting. Around 8 p.m., the entire crew was treated to a luxurious supper. Even the extras received a share, and they were all pleasantly surprised. The main actors also received the most expensive supper, all from a high-end restaurant. About eighty lobsters alone were served, enough for everyone to feast on.
Naturally, it was Ezekiel’s treat, and his generosity also made the entire crew very fond of Harmony.
At this moment, Harmony was in the trailer and being fed lobster by a certain someone.
“Do you like it?” Ezekiel asked with a smile.
Harmony smiled. “Delicious.”
“Try not to shoot so late in the future. It worries me.”
“No, this scene really needs to be shot at night. It’s okay, I’m used to it.” Harmony reassured him. As an actress with such a high salary, she had to deliver a good performance. Otherwise, how could she satisfy those who paid to watch the films?
Although Ezekiel was worried, he respected her work. With the money Harmony was making now, she was already among the highest earners in the industry. Supporting herself was not a problem at all. In fact, she could live very comfortably. So, making money was one thing. She was truly passionate about acting.
After everyone had feasted, they were even more energized to work. The following scenes went smoothly with the cooperation of the extras, and they were completed in two or three takes.
After wrapping up their activities, Harmony and Ezekiel returned to the hotel. Exhausted, Harmony fell asleep in Ezekiel’s arms during the journey.
Upon reaching the underground parking lot, the bodyguard opened the door, and Ezekiel personally carried Harmony into the hotel.
He gently placed her on the couch. Feeling drowsy, she didn’t feel like taking a shower.
“I want to sleep. Can I skip the shower?” she asked.
“You’ve been rolling around on the ground all day. How can you not shower? I’ll go fill the tub for you.
You take a bath,” he playfully teased, tapping her nose.
Harmony nodded contentedly, waiting for him to prepare her bath.
In no time, the bath was ready. Harmony went to soak in it herself, but to her surprise, Ezekiel joined her, claiming he was going to scrub her back and wouldn’t do anything else. Canl trust him? Harmony thought to herself.
