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 while 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


    ept 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 wless 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 ss from the rack and poured two sses 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 ss. You won’t get drunk,” Ezekiel replied, only wanting someone to share a drink with.


    His gazended on the woman on the couch, and he recalled the situation at the airport, so he asked,


    “Are you a celebrity?”


    She corrected, “No, I’m just an ordinary actress. My job is acting in films.”


    He responded with a casual “oh.” Following that, she nced at the half-full ss 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 ss 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 ss. “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.
