Samantha was in her room. She quickly got into the bathroom and reapplied some makeup, then she


    checked herself closely. Once she was happy with how she looked, she picked up her bag and went


    out to create a chance encounter at the restaurant. In Samantha’s eyes, Harmony was still a naive


    woman, so she would never see through the act.


    Right after Harmony and Ezekiel sat down, Samantha came in, scrolling through her phone. She didn’t


    say hi on purpose, as if she was waiting for someone else. Harmony saw her right away, and she was


    shocked. Why’d I run into her so much these past couple of days? She didn’t call out to her, however.


    Angrily, Samantha made a call. “Why aren’t you here yet? Are you standing me up again? I can’t


    believe this.” Samantha was an actress. If she wanted to act, she could make it convincing.


    However, Harmony was also an actress, so she knew Samantha was acting. She could feel Samantha


    furtively ncing at them twice. She didn’t turn around, but she knew that Samantha knew she and


    Ezekiel were there. Her instinct was always sharp when it came to this.


    After Samantha yelled at the guy on the other end of the phone, she picked up her bag and was about


    to leave, but then she ‘saw’ Harmony, Surprised, she said, “Harmony? My gosh, you’re here too?”


    Harmony really didn’t want to catch up with Samantha at this moment, but out of courtesy, she said,


    “Yes. I’m having dinner with a friend.”


    Samantha cutely said, “Man, my friend stood me up. I’m starving. Mind if I join you guys? Having dinner


    alone is lonely.” She turned to Ezekiel, and her pupils contracted. He was more awe-inspiring in real life


    than he was in the photo.


    Just when Samantha thought Harmony wouldn’t refuse, Harmony refused, “Sorry, but my friend doesn’t


    like having dinners with strangers.” Harmony looked at her apologetically.


    Samantha quickly asked Ezekiel, “Sir, do you mind if I join you two for dinner?” If he agrees, Harmony


    will agree.


    The moment Ezekiel met Samantha’s gaze, he knew the kind of woman she was. Coldly, he said, “Yes,


    I mind.”


    Samantha smiled awkwardly. She looked at Harmony, hoping she would let her stay. Harmony would


    not. She saw through Samantha. She’s creating this chance encounter for one reason: to get to know


    Ezekiel through me. She’s not getting that. “Sorry, Sam. Next time, dinner’s on me, though,” said


    Harmony.


    Samantha was frustrated. She’s not even giving me a chance. Suddenly, she saw the hickeys on


    Harmony’s neck, and then she noticed how glowing Harmony was looking. She must’ve done it with


    him. Jealousy red in her heart, but she knew she had to leave. “I’ll be going, then. You enjoy your


    dinner.”


    Harmony heaved a sigh of relief after Samantha left. She said, “She’s my ssmate back in the film


    academy.”


    Ezekiel saw through Samantha right away. She came here for him. He was happy Harmony refused


    the request of a scheming woman like that. She would disturb their dinner otherwise.

    Bird’s nest was served, and Ezekiel pushed it over to her. “Here, have this. You’ll need to replenish


    your strength.”


    Harmony blushed. You’re the one who wrung me dry.


    Samantha watched the couple through the window, biting her lip angrily. She couldn’t believe Harmony


    did not act as anticipated.
