âHurry up and save his number on your phone, lest you wonât be unable to find him when you walk the red carpet in the afternoon,â Sera urged her.
Harmony grabbed her phone and saved Ezekielâs number. She also placed his name card inside the pocket of her purse as a souvenir.
Later, Harmony went to a dress rental store Sera had made an appointment with. As this store had some off-season collections from various big fashion brands, it was frequented by many artists. If one was lucky, they could even get the ones from the current fashion season. It was just that the rental fee was pricey compared to the off-season ones.
This time, Sera decided to spend 75 thousand dollars to doll Harmony up. She chose an off- season evening dress from a fashion brand. After Harmony tried it on, she took her to go shopping nearby.
Since the red carpet event would start at 3.00PM, they didnât have to rush. After all, the venue of the Fashion Week was just nearby.
Thus, Harmony and Sera took the opportunity to shop in the mall. As Sera usually liked buying bags from high-end clothing brands, she couldnât bring herself to move away when she saw a bag that caught her eye.
When Harmony saw that Sera was staring at an item displayed in a high-end fashion store, Harmony couldnât help but remind her, âSera, you have yet to pay off your car and house loans! Itâs better not to look at these.â
Sera took her words into consideration before coming to a decision. Then, she dragged Harmony along as she said, âLetâs take a look. Thereâs nothing illegal about browsing. So, just take it as window shopping for fun.â
Hence, Sera pulled Harmony into the store. However, they bumped into their enemies, Reuben and Catalina, as soon as they entered the store lounge. At this moment, Reuben was accompanying Catalina as they sat on the lounge chairs.
Catalina immediately spotted the two who entered the store through her keen eyesight. âWow. It seems that shops really let anyone in nowadays.â
Since Sera didnât expect to encounter them today, she held Harmonyâs hand and said, âHarmony, letâs leave!â
âSome people have the courage to enter when they canât even afford to purchase a single item. How embarrassing,â Catalina mocked once more.
Harmony took a deep breath upon hearing Catalinaâs disdainful words. Then, she turned around and retorted, âItâs none of your business.â
âHarmony, I know damn well about your financial status. You canât afford any of the begs here,â Reuben sneered out of the blue.
Harmony had spent nearly all her money on the apartment she just bought. Whatâs more, she took out a loan of 450 thousand dollars. Her apartmentâs monthly mortgage is enough to force her to keep signing contracts for terrible drama roles.
âReuben, I didnât know you have a sugar addiction as I wasnât wealthy enough to be your sugar mommy before. However, I suppose your sugar addiction is satisfied now. Why? Because you have the sweetest sugar mommy beside you,â Harmony snapped mercilessly.
Reubenâs face instantly reddened with anger. âHarmony, what the hell are you blabbering about?!â he shouted, losing his gentlemanly temperament.
Sera forcefully dragged Harmony out of the store. âIgnore them. Letâs just continue with our shopping spree.â
Truthfully, Harmony wanted to find a coffee shop to rest her legs because she hadnât slept well the night before.
Meanwhile, Reubenâs face remained reddened with anger. Catalinaâs eyes were filled with a hint of disgust as she jerked her head away from him. Even so, she couldnât afford to dump Reuben for now because he had just signed a contract with her motherâs company. He had even signed some contracts for several drama roles.
âDonât worry! She will be humiliated on the red carpet later,â Catalina comforted him.
Reuben held back his resentment and nodded. How dare Harmony make me look bad in front of Catalina! I definitely wonât spare her if I have the chance to humiliate her in the future!
At this moment, Ezekiel returned to the seven- star hotel and was discussing the affairs regarding the cooperative deal with his client. Yet, he couldnât help but sneak glances at his watch while he was having lunch with the client.
It seemed like he had something important that he couldnât pass up.
âMr. Weiss, Iâll let you get on with your work then,â the client spoke with a smile after noticing his anxious state.
Ezekiel nodded, rose to his feet, and said, âIâll treat you to a meal again next time.â
Then, he trotted outside. Itâs already 2.00PM, and the red carpet walk will start from 3.00PM to 4.30PM.
Celebrities wonât be able to walk the red carpet if they fail to arrive at the venue on time.
âMr. Weiss, thereâs no need to rush. The time rule doesnât apply to us. We will walk the red carpet when we make it there,â Miles, Ezekielâs assistant, comforted him.
âI have promised to meet her at 3.00PM. What if Iâm late and she has walked the red carpet without me?â Ezekiel said, his good-looking face actually tinged with worry.
Hence, Miles had no choice but to immediately arrange for the convoy to set off and head along the road toward the Fashion Weekâs venue. As for the situation at the venue, grand preparations were already in progress. Besides, there was a particularly eye-catching red carpet rolled down the middle, which was exclusively available for invited celebrities.
