âNo need. You can return to your room!â Ezekiel said coldly. Yunna maintained a charming smile and replied, âAlright, boss. Now that youâre back safely, I can rest assured and go to bed.â She smiled charmingly and turned to leave.
Harmony could tell that Ezekiel had no interest in Yunna whatsoever. It was Yunna who was trying to catch his attention, going beyond her duties as an assistant. Her behavior that night, for instance, was not appropriate for an assistant at all.
If Harmony wasnât present, would Yunna have followed Ezekiel into his room and prepared his bath?
That night, probably due to what Harmony had said earlier in the day, Ezekiel seemed even more passionate. It was too much for Harmony. I swear this man is punishing me!
She wished he could change his approach, for this method was truly draining her.
âWell? Are you pleased?â he asked, holding Harmony, who was drenched in sweat, in his arms. It seemed that if she expressed dissatisfaction, he would do it all over again.
âNo, no, Iâm very pleased. Letâs rest! Donât overexert yourself,â Harmony mustered up the energy to respond.
âI see youâre still full of energy. You must be unable to sleep. How about we do it again?â Ezekiel chuckled softly, leaning against her forehead, his eyes clearly still unsatisfied.
Harmony quickly pushed him away. âAre you trying to kill me?!â
Ezekiel burst into laughter, and he leaned down to kiss her cheek. âAlright, letâs sleep!â
Harmony got up bright and early the next morning. Though she wasnât a workaholic, she was very punctual when it came to filming. If she was late, many extras and other actors would have to wait for her. Since she entered this industry, she had never made anyone wait for her to shoot. This was her professionalism.
When Sera came to fetch her, she saw Yunna emerging from the elevator, dressed in a brighter suit that day.
Upon seeing Harmony, Yunna greeted her with a smile, showing no signs of fear. âGood morning, Miss Mayo!â
Harmony was vexed. It was evident Yunna wanted to annoy her, yet she had to smile back. Then again, this wasnât her first rodeo.
âMiss Yunna, you should just focus on your job. As for other matters, you donât need to meddle too much, Harmony advised her.
Yunna laughed and replied, âMiss Mayo, you donât understand my job, so naturally, you donât know the extent of my responsibilities.â
âI may not know the extent of your responsibilities, but I do know that subordinates should maintain a certain distance from their superiors and not behave like you, Harmony warned, her eyes flashing.
Yunna had her own strengths. She had been able to stay by Ezekielâs side all these years because of her excellent work abilities. Having worked with Ezekiel for three years, she had become familiar with his work habits and could meet his expectations.
âThank you for the reminder, Miss Mayo. However, you should also know your place. This is between my boss and me. You donât need to interfere too much,â Yunna retorted.
Having been in the entertainment industry for such a long time, Harmony certainly wasnât easily intimidated. While she didnât bully others, it didnât mean she could be bullied.
âMiss Yunna, if I were you, I would return to my room right now, pack my belongings, or take out my computer and send out a few more resumes, hoping to find a good company,â Harmony said calmly.
Yunna looked at Harmony in disbelief. Harmony didnât want to say anything more; she turned and left.
Yunna couldnât help but clench her fists. Impossible! Ezekiel will never fire me! Iâm such a valuable asset; Ezekiel will never dismiss me because of a word from Harmony!
Once inside the MPV, Sera asked curiously, âAre you sure Mr. Weiss will fire this assistant?â
