Harmony returned to her seat and told Sera what had just happened, to which the latter responded calmly by advising her to accept her award.
Just when Harmony was about to put down her phone, it beeped with another text message. She looked at the message, which turned out to be Ezekielâs. âWhat are you doing?â
She was surprised to receive the text message. The two had not gotten in touch since the previous incident, so she thought he had already left. âIâm attending an awards ceremony, she replied, attaching a picture of the event.
At that moment, Ezekiel had just disembarked from the yacht after attending Willowâs wedding. His mother and grandmother stayed on the island for a two-week vacation, whereas he returned early.
He got into his car, looking at the picture sent by Harmony, which showed the name of the film festivalâs theme. He smiled and texted her, âHas it started?â
Seeing this reply, she was caught off guard. She asked on an impulse, âAre you coming?â
âSure, Iâll come.â Then came the prompt reply. Harmony clasped her mouth, unable to hide the happiness in her eyes. Oh, my gosh! Heâs coming!
Ezekielâs convoy headed straight for the film festival. Meanwhile, the film festivalâs organizers received a call saying that a VIP was coming over. Immediately, a seat was arranged for him in the front row, labeled with the name Ezekiel Weiss.
In this circle, there was one thing that held tremendous power-wealth. He could easily use his connections to attend any event he wanted. Also, he made a request tonight that he wanted an actress to accompany him.
Catalina sat in her seat, turning to glance in Harmonyâs direction from time to time. Naturally, she could not make trouble as she pleased on such an occasion. This time, she had spent a huge sum of money to secure a small award for her film through the back door, ensuring she would go on stage to receive it. This would increase her exposure and pave the way for her entry into major films in the future.
As the red carpet event took time, everyone could only wait here. The awards ceremony would start at 6.30PM.
At about 6.00PM, the red carpet event ended. At that moment, three imposing black SUVs pulled up on the street outside. Stepping out of one of the cars was a strikingly handsome man who oozed elegance.
A few photographers were just about to pack up their gear when they spotted him. Initially surprised, they then lowered their heads and whispered to each other. One of them asked, âWhich film is he from?
Iâve never seen him before!â
âYeah, me neither. He must be a celebrity, right? Heâs so handsome!â
As they debated whether to take pictures of the man, Ezekiel entered the hall. Once inside, he announced his name. The female staff member, her heart fluttering, respectfully escorted him to his seat in the first row.
He walked while looking around. Among the crowd of beauties, he immediately spotted a particular figure and could not help but smile. Instead of going over to greet her, he went to his seat instead.
Harmony had been staring at her phone, not noticing that the man she had been waiting for had arrived.
Just then, Catalina spotted the man first and was filled with surprise. Ezekiel is here? Does that mean heâll see me receive the award tonight?
However, the staff member from earlier approached Harmony. She lowered her head and said to her, âMiss Mayo, Iâm afraid youâll need to switch seats.â
âWhere will I be seated, then?â she asked curiously.
âYour seat will be in the first row,â replied the staff member.
Thinking it might be another setup, Harmony waved her hand, saying, âThereâs no need to. Iâm not switching seats. Iâll stay here.â
âWe received instructions from above that you must change seats because a gentleman specifically requested that you sit next to him.â
She immediately asked, âWho is that?â
Just then, the staff member pointed in a particular direction, which Harmony followed with her gaze.
Although all she saw was the back of the manâs head, it made her mesmerizing eyes widen in surprise.
