Chapter 2681
Night of Destiny
Sera stopped teasing. She whipped out her phone and searched for local news.
She then handed the phone to Harmony. âYou got on the headlines.â Harmony took the phone and had
a look. Her mind buzzed. âThatâs fast.â âAward-winning actress on the red carpet with mysterious
magnate. A loving couple,â said Sera. That was the headline. Harmonyâs cheeks started to burn.
These people make up clickbaits all the time.
âYouâve made ripples in the industry back home. And you just established your position more because
of this trip.â Since Harmony was in this industry, she knew that if someone wanted to be famous, they
had to have acting skills, exposure, and status. She got a lot of offers from a lot of rich guys to help her
out, but she didnât take any of them.
That was why, even though she had the looks and skills, she was still a C-lister.
If it wasnât because of her last film becoming a phenomenon, she would never have gotten that award.
âSera, just focus on the movies, make more money, and have a nice retirement,â said Harmony.
Sera nodded, touched. âSure.â She scrolled through her phone and saw another piece of news
released by a media outlet.
Shocking news. Award-winning actress attending runway wearing last seasonâs dress. A disgrace? If
you canât take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
She was mad, but she didnât want Harmony to see that and ruin her mood.
She checked Harmonyâs dress. It was beautiful, but the fashion industry was just that stringent. Last
season was last season. Anyone who wore last seasonâs items would be discriminated against. If
Harmony could wear the latest dress, she would be able to prove these trolls wrong.
Sera had added Ezekielâs number to her contacts. Now, she wanted to ask the guy for a favor and see
if he could lend Harmony a new dress. It should be easy enough for him. She forwarded the news to
Ezekiel and texted, âCould you do me a favor, Mr. Weiss? Do you have any way to get the latest dress?
The media back home is mocking Harmony en masse.
Ezekiel was on his way back to the hotel. He picked up his phone to check the message when he
heard the notification ring. He frowned. He was a little miffed that the entertainment section was
mocking Harmony over the dress she wore.
Ezekiel texted, âLeave it to me.â A simple answer, but one filled with power.
Sera was delighted to see that reply. I expected nothing less from a guy like him. The media back
home is going to be proven sorely wrong. Sera didnât tell Harmony about it. The girl wasnât exactly a
bold person. She wouldnât take advantage of this connection, but Sera had to do it to prove those trolls
back home wrong. Fortunately, Ezekiel said yes.
Sera took Harmony to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Harmony was starving.
She took the menu, her eyes shining. Sera took the menu away from her.
âYouâre going to a ball tonight. Watch your portions.â âBut I canât even smile if I donât eat.â Harmonyâs
face scrunched up.
âYouâre not going to even get half-full, you hear me?â Sera ordered a diet meal for Harmony. The
portion was pathetic.
Harmony heaved a sigh and did as she was told. But there should be food at the ball, right? Harmonyâs
phone rang. She picked it up and nervously said, âItâs Ezekiel. Whyâs he calling so soon?â âJust take
the call,â urged Sera.
Harmony smiled and picked it up. âHi, Mr. Weiss, âGive me your location. Iâll pick you up,â said Ezekiel,
his voice jazzy.
âNow?â Harmony wanted to say it was just 6.10PM, and it was too early.
However, Sera shot her a look that said, âDonât ask questions.
âNow,â said Ezekiel.
Harmony smiled. âIâll send you the address.â She only hung up once Ezekiel said alright. She clutched
her chest. Her heart was thumping furiously.
