Chapter 2757
Night of Destiny
Sensing someone approaching, Harmony lifted her head and saw that it was Ezekiel. Quickly, she
stashed her phone into her bag, not wanting him to see the negative rumors circulating online.
âCome on, letâs go home,â Ezekiel suggested. Seeing her face unnaturally flushed, he reached out to
help her up while checking her forehead with his free hand.
Harmony was just a bit tipsy and woozy from too much red wine, not sick.
âNo fever, but your face is red. Are you feeling stuffy?â Ezekiel asked with concern.
Harmony shook her head. âNo.â She was flushed with anger, genuinely upset by the negative rumors.
Indeed, she felt much better after stepping outside with Ezekiel and feeling the natural night breeze.
Dressed in an evening gown, she looked exceptionally charming, and her figure was perfect for such a
curve-revealing attire.
Once they got into the car, they headed straight back to the hotel. Harmony didnât want to think about
anything at the moment; she just leaned on the manâs shoulder and dozed off.
Ezekiel held her shoulder, occasionally lowering his head to check on her. Once they reached their
hotel room, Harmony turned her back to him. âCan you pull the zipper down for me?â Ezekiel reached
out to unzip her dress. Having admired her all night, he couldnât resist leaning down to plant a kiss on
her fair shoulder.
Harmony squirmed, âDonât kiss there.â âWhere should I kiss, then?â the man asked with a low chuckle.
Harmony didnât dare to respond to his provocative words. She turned around with a smile. âIâm going to
change into my pajamas.â Ezekiel watched her escape into the room. He didnât chase after her,
knowing that she was his and couldnât escape.
Harmony came out in a short, spaghetti- strapped nightgown, feeling more relaxed in front of Ezekiel
now. His gaze was once again drawn to her, and he reached out to hold her slender waist. Harmony
looked up, her face slightly flushed from the wine, her eyes alluring. She truly looked like a ripe peach.
Ezekiel held the back of her head and leaned in for a kiss. Having just taken off his suit, he was now in
a white shirt, exuding a strong masculine charm.
It was another wonderful yet exhausting night, and Harmony thought she would break in two from her
waist.
In the morning, she received a call from Sera. They were to meet with the director to discuss the script.
âOkay, Iâll be there,â Harmony assured.
âWhere are you going?â Ezekiel overheard Harmonyâs call as he came out of the shower.
âI have to meet with the director today, so I canât have lunch with you,â she explained. She had just
gotten out of bed and immediately felt soreness in her waist.
Seeing that, Ezekiel felt guilty for being too wild last night.
âYou should rest if your waist is sore. You can meet the director another day,â Ezekiel suggested,
concerned.
Harmonyâs professionalism wouldnât allow her to skip the meeting. She shook her head, âNo, I have to
go.â He was so accomplished; how could she slack off?! While she couldnât compare to him, she had to
strive to improve.
âIâll drive you then.â âNo need! My chauffeur will come and pick me up. Harmony didnât want to trouble
him.
Deep down, Ezekiel really wanted to tell her that he wanted to support her for the rest of their lives, and
all she needed to do was be his woman. But he couldnât say it out loud, for he respected Harmonyâs
decisions. Even if she wanted to continue working and acting, he respected her. He wouldnât suppress
her passions or confine her.
Respecting her in every way was the essence of his love for her.
âOkay, call me when youâre done with work, and Iâll come pick you up.â âOkay! Thank you, Ezekiel.â
Harmony kissed him on the cheek.
Meanwhile, Samantha was still in the hotel. She was eager to know how Ezekiel would react to
Harmonyâs negative rumors. Would he be angry? Would he find Harmony repulsive? However, the
hotel was too expensive, and she couldnât afford to stay any longer. She had to check out before noon.
Regardless, she wished Harmony would be kicked out by him right now.
Harmony left to meet the director, and Ezekiel decided to visit his grandmother and have lunch with her.
