Harmony eagerly pushed herself off the couch. She was determined to brave the scolding she would undoubtedly
receive from Sera the instant she decided to go through with her sneaky plan. She grabbed a short-down jacket to
cover herself. Her waist-length hair was still damp from the recent wash, giving her an unadorned look. Honestly,
she seemed like a fresh-faced university student, radiating a youthful vigor with every fiber of her being.
She opened the door quietly as she carefully listened to Sera’s voice in the adjacent resting area. Then, she muffled
her mischievous giggles as she slipped away toward the elevator.
Once she arrived at the cafe’s floor, she hastily descended upon the establishment after leaving the elevator. The
owner was about to close the shop, but she managed to buy the last two pieces of sweet treats. She intended to
eat them there. Alas, she had no choice but to covertly sneak her goodies back to the hotel because the cafe was
about to close. Still, she figured she might as well nibble on her pastries on the way back. She planned to finish it off
once she returned to the hotel to avoid getting scolded.
She pressed the button and took another big bite of her bread upon arriving at the elevator. Just then, a tall figure
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtemerged from the hotel’s front desk and sauntered toward the elevator. As the doors were about to close, the man
immediately pressed the open button to prevent them from sliding shut.
Harmony instinctively looked up when she saw someone else trying to enter. She couldn’t help but scrutinize them
out of curiosity. Nevertheless, her eyes widened in shock the second her brain registered just who that person was.
How could it be him?
Goodness gracious!
She actually bumped into the man who found her lost gemstone in the elevator? Talk about coincidence!
Even Ezekiel hadn’t expected to run into her as soon as he arrived at the hotel. He stepped in gracefully with his
arms crossed and smiled naturally as he greeted her. “Hi.”
Harmony still had a big bite of bread in her mouth, which made her cheeks puffy. So, she resembled an adorable
and gluttonous squirrel.
“Hi,” she mumbled a greeting and quickly chewed on the bread in her mouth as she tried to swallow it down.
Strangely, the man’s deep, captivating, and beautiful eyes continued to fixate on her. When he caught sight of her
nearly choking in her haste to finish her food, his lips curved slightly into a smile. It seemed as if he was doing his
best not to burst into laughter.
She was so enchanting in the advertisement. She looked just like a lazy elf bathed under the sunlight. Nevertheless,
it seemed that she was cute and down-to-earth in reality.
Harmony decided to feign ignorance. So, she leaned against the corner of the elevator, lowering her head as she
continued to munch on her bread.
“You don’t remember me?” the man asked with a hint of amusement in his tone. She raised her head and retorted,
“Do we know each other?”
Ezekiel raised an eyebrow and refuted, “We don’t, but we’ve kissed.”
Harmony flushed crimson; she couldn’t deny that fact. To make matters even more embarrassing, it wasn’t just one
kiss! It was two. She kissed him first, and he returned the kiss with equal fervor.
“Sir, are you mistaking me for someone else?” She decided to feign ignorance.
“No. Miss Harmony Mayo, we did kiss,” Ezekiel said with a huff. He had never been so disregarded before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was surprised when he mentioned her name. “How do you know my name?” She couldn’t recall ever telling
him her name!
“If I want to know something, I’ll know it.” Just as he finished speaking, the elevator chimed and slid open.
She hurriedly stepped out of the confined space the minute she noticed that she had arrived at her floor. Just as
she took a few steps, she discovered that the man had also followed her out.
She felt flustered and was taken aback. Why did he also get off the elevator? Could he be a stalker? It didn’t seem
fitting for a stalker to be this handsome.
“Why are you following me?” she asked, feeling panicked.
Ezekiel smirked. “Is it possible that I also live on this floor?”
Harmony blushed and apologized sheepishly, “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”
Fortunately, she managed to make it to her hotel room’s door just then. Just adjacent to her room, the man swiped
his card and intentionally fiddled with it when he caught her staring, indicating that he wasn’t a stalker. He was
genuinely a guest who just happened to be staying there as well.
Harmony’s face turned even redder. God, take me! Ever since she became a celebrity, she had become a bit
jumpy. She often assumed someone was following her due to her paranoia.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” She apologized repeatedly before quickly swiping her card to enter her room.
