Chapter 2658
Night of Destiny
Ezekiel suddenly wrapped his hand around Harmonyâs waist and pulled her closer. Following that, he
held the back of her head, which was the same posture as before, and kissed her red lips. At the same
time, he swept his gaze provocatively toward Reuben in the corridor.
Watching the scene unfold, Reuben felt a pang in his heart. He had hoped to leave Catalina and
rekindle things with Harmony once he made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. But now,
it was clear that Harmony wasnât the innocent girl he thought she was, as she had already fallen for
someone else. He cursed under his breath, Damn it!
âVery well, Harmony.â Reuben gritted his teeth and cursed before storming away.
Once he turned the corner, Harmony pushed the man away while panting slightly. Something had gone
awry. This wasnât the story she had envisioned. How on earth did she end up kissing the guy?
Ezekiel led her into his room and closed the door with a bang. The next moment, she had her back
against the wall while the man stood before her with his arms crossed. His slender fingers brushed
over his sexy, thin lips as he questioned, âYouâre the first woman who dared to take advantage of me.â
Feeling a bit uneasy about her unintentional offense, she quickly apologized, âIâm sorry, sir. Please
accept my apology. I came here to retrieve the gemstone you found.â
Ezekiel squinted his eyes and sized Harmony up. While he didnât get to see her appearance at the
airport, she was now standing openly under the light. She had an almost flawless and beautiful face, a
pair of bright eyes, and a pair of inviting lips. Also, she had a graceful yet shapely figure. It seemed like
the woman was perfectly aligned with his preferences, which was rare.
She felt his scrutinizing gaze and felt her scalp tingling. While biting her red lips, she asked, âMay I ask

gemstone to me?â âYes. The gemstone is indeed with me.â After
Ezekiel finished speaking, he turned toward the couch and beckoned her. âCome over here, and letâs
properly discuss how to settle this matter.â
Harmonyâs beautiful eyes widened slightly, thinking, What does he mean by that? Will he not return it
until I make some kind of payment? Donât tell me he wantsâ¦
She swallowed nervously. Even though she had offended him earlier, the thought of offering herself
hadnât crossed her mind. Looking around the luxurious room, she cautiously approached the couch.
She looked at the man sitting there elegantly with his long, slender legs crossed together and breathed
out slightly. âSir, what will it take for you to return the gemstone to me?â
Though Ezekiel had yet to decide what he wanted from Harmony, he did feel somewhat bored, so he
took another wine glass from the rack and poured two glasses of red wine. âWhy donât you have a drink
with me first?â
That made her feel even more nervous. She pondered, What does he want? Is he trying to get me
drunk?
âI have low alcohol tolerance, sir. So, please go easy on me,â Harmony said as she waved her hand.
âItâs just half glass. You wonât get drunk,â Ezekiel replied, only wanting someone to share a drink with.
His gaze landed on the woman on the couch, and he recalled the situation at the airport, so he asked,
âAre you a celebrity?â
She corrected, âNo, Iâm just an ordinary actress. My job is acting in films.â
He responded with a casual âoh.â Following that, she glanced at the half-full glass of wine and quickly
inquired, âSo, does this mean I get the gemstone back if I finish this?â
Ezekiel smirked, âYes.â
Hearing that, Harmony immediately picked up the glass and downed it in two gulps. Afterward, she
wiped her lips and remarked, âIâm done.â
His eyes widened slightly, wondering, Does she know the wine she drank so casually costs 63
thousand per bottle? She didnât even savor it properly. What a waste.
However, she saw his expression and thought she hadnât drunk enough, so she quickly picked up the
bottle of red wine and poured herself another glass. âIf youâre not satisfied, I can have another one.â
In her eyes, the man was only trying to tease her a little before giving her what she wanted, and if that
were the case, she would appease him herself.
