Ezekiel suddenly wrapped his hand around Harmony’s 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
wasn’t the innocent girl he thought she was, as she had already fallen for someone else. He cursed under his
breath, Damn it!
“Very well, Harmony.” 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
wasn’t 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhile the man stood before her with his arms crossed. His slender fingers brushed over his sexy, thin lips as he
questioned, “You’re the first woman who dared to take advantage of me.”
Feeling a bit uneasy about her unintentional offense, she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, sir. Please accept my
apology. I came here to retrieve the gemstone you found.”
Ezekiel squinted his eyes and sized Harmony up. While he didn’t 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, “May I ask if you would
be willing to return that
gemstone to me?” “Yes. The gemstone is indeed with me.” After
Ezekiel finished speaking, he turned toward the couch and beckoned her. “Come over here, and let’s properly
discuss how to settle this matter.”
Harmony’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, thinking, What does he mean by that? Will he not return it until I make
some kind of payment? Don’t tell me he wants…
She swallowed nervously. Even though she had offended him earlier, the thought of offering herself hadn’t 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. “Sir, what will it take for you
to return the gemstone to me?”
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. “Why don’t you have a drink with me first?”
That made her feel even more nervous. She pondered, What does he want? Is he trying to get me drunk?
“I have low alcohol tolerance, sir. So, please go easy on me,” Harmony said as she waved her hand.
“It’s just half glass. You won’t get drunk,” Ezekiel replied, only wanting someone to share a drink with. His gaze

She corrected, “No, I’m just an ordinary actress. My job is acting in films.”
He responded with a casual “oh.” Following that, she glanced at the half-full glass of wine and quickly inquired, “So,
does this mean I get the gemstone back if I finish this?”
Ezekiel smirked, “Yes.”
Hearing that, Harmony immediately picked up the glass and downed it in two gulps. Afterward, she wiped her lips
and remarked, “I’m done.”
His eyes widened slightly, wondering, Does she know the wine she drank so casually costs 63 thousand per bottle?
She didn’t even savor it properly. What a waste.
However, she saw his expression and thought she hadn’t drunk enough, so she quickly picked up the bottle of red
wine and poured herself another glass. “If you’re not satisfied, I can have another one.”
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.
