Ch. 2681..2690
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2681-Sera stopped teasing. She whipped out her phone and searched for local news.
She then handed the phone to Harmony. “You got on the headlines.” Harmony took the phone and had a look. Her mind buzzed. “That’s fast.” “Award-winning actress on the red carpet with mysterious magnate. A loving couple,” said Sera. That was the headline. Harmony’s cheeks started to burn.
These people make up clickbaits all the time.
“You’ve made ripples in the industry back home. And you just established your position more because of this trip.” Since Harmony was in this industry, she knew that if someone wanted to be famous, they had to have acting skills, exposure, and status. She got a lot of offers from a lot of rich guys to help her out, but she didn’t take any of them.
That was why, even though she had the looks and skills, she was still a C-lister.
If it wasn’t because of her last film becoming a phenomenon, she would never have gotten that award. “Sera, just focus on the movies, make more money, and have a nice retirement,” said Harmony.
Sera nodded, touched. “Sure.” She scrolled through her phone and saw another piece of news released by a media outlet.
Shocking news. Award-winning actress attending runway wearing last season’s dress. A disgrace? If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
She was mad, but she didn’t want Harmony to see that and ruin her mood.
She checked Harmony’s dress. It was beautiful, but the fashion industry was just that stringent. Last season was last season. Anyone who wore last season’s items would be discriminated against. If Harmony could wear the latest dress, she would be able to prove these trolls wrong.
Sera had added Ezekiel’s number to her contacts. Now, she wanted to ask the guy for a favor and see if he could lend Harmony a new dress. It should be easy enough for him. She forwarded the news to Ezekiel and texted, ‘Could you do me a favor, Mr. Weiss? Do you have any way to get the latest dress? The media back home is mocking Harmony en masse.
Ezekiel was on his way back to the hotel. He picked up his phone to check the message when he heard the notification ring. He frowned. He was a little miffed that the entertainment section was mocking Harmony over the dress she wore.
Ezekiel texted, ‘Leave it to me.’ A simple answer, but one filled with power.
Sera was delighted to see that reply. I expected nothing less from a guy like him. The media back home is going to be proven sorely wrong. Sera didn’t tell Harmony about it. The girl wasn’t exactly a bold person. She wouldn’t take advantage of this connection, but Sera had to do it to prove those trolls back home wrong. Fortunately, Ezekiel said yes.
Sera took Harmony to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Harmony was starving.
She took the menu, her eyes shining. Sera took the menu away from her.
“You’re going to a ball tonight. Watch your portions.” “But I can’t even smile if I don’t eat.” Harmony’s face scrunched up.
“You’re not going to even get half-full, you hear me?” Sera ordered a diet meal for Harmony. The portion was pathetic.
Harmony heaved a sigh and did as she was told. But there should be food at the ball, right? Harmony’s phone rang. She picked it up and nervously said, “It’s Ezekiel. Why’s he calling so soon?” “Just take the call,” urged Sera.
Harmony smiled and picked it up. “Hi, Mr. Weiss, “Give me your location. I’ll pick you up,” said Ezekiel, his voice jazzy.
“Now?” Harmony wanted to say it was just 6.10PM, and it was too early.
However, Sera shot her a look that said, ‘Don’t ask questions.
“Now,” said Ezekiel.
Harmony smiled. “I’ll send you the address.” She only hung up once Ezekiel said alright. She clutched her chest. Her heart was thumping furiously.
Novel My baby’s daddy chapter 2682-“Harmony, we need his help. No matter where he takes you tonight or what he wants you to do, just listen to him. If he takes you to a fashion store, you go with him,” said Sera.
Harmony blinked. “Why would he take me to a fashion store, Sera?” “Just a hunch. It’ll be an extravagant ball tonight,” said Sera nervously. Harmony sent Ezekiel her address and furtively clutched her chest. Her heart was still pounding.
Back in the hotel, Catalina hid on the balcony and made some calls. In the end, she put on a smug smile. She just found herself a connection and got herself a ticket to the ball. She would attend it and see how Harmony would embarrass herself. Wearing an out-of- season dress to that event is just begging to be laughed at. The trolls picked up their slack, too, and found out where Harmony got that dress. They humiliated her in the media. Catalina would just need to make a video out of Harmony’s embarrassing performance at the ball and use the trolls to attack her, and Harmony’s popularity would fall.
Catalina went back to the lounge and told Reuben, “You stay here tonight, Reuben. I need to go out for some business.” “Where are you going?” Reuben looked at her.
Catalina mused over it and answered honestly, “I got myself a ticket into the ball, but I can’t take you with me.” Reuben was disappointed. To entertainers, it would be an honor to be able to join the ball. He smiled, got up, approached Catalina, and put an arm around her waist. “I understand. Go.” Happy, Catalina patted Reuben’s cheek. “You’re signed to my company, Reuben. I’ll make sure you get famous.” Reuben had no choice. Since he had decided to rely on this woman for fame and success, then he must suppress his true self and be nothing but a lapdog for her and please her.
Subsequently, Catalina picked up her bag and left.
Only then did Reuben’s face fall. He slammed his pillow onto the ground. I feel like I’m nothing but a lapdog for her. Look at Harmony. The rich guy she hooks up with spoils her like a child.
Catalina was going to get the latest dress so she could one-up Harmony later that night. And she had another goal. She would try to get to know Harmony’s new sponsor. She knew she was a great woman, too, so if Harmony could hook up with that guy, she could too. If she could hook up with Harmony’s new guy, then Harmony would be kicked out of the game.
Ezekiel’s car stopped before the entrance of a fancy restaurant. Harmony and Sera were already waiting outside. They were met with a motorcade, and Sera sighed. He’s not your ordinary rich guy.
One of the bodyguards opened the door and told Harmony, “Please come in, Miss Mayo.” Harmony turned back and waved at Sera. She then walked to the car, and the silhouette in the passenger seat made her heart race. “Mr. Weiss,” she said before getting into the car.
“We’ll need to make a pit stop,” said Ezekiel.
“Where are we going?” asked Harmony, surprised.
“A boutique. I picked a dress just for you,” said Ezekiel.
Harmony was surprised. Hey, that’s a bit like what Sera said. He’s taking me to a boutique. “Sure. Thanks, Mr. Weiss,” said Harmony gratefully.
The boutique had the latest dresses and a lot of separate products, too. They were unique and created by top fashion designers. Most people didn’t even have the money to rent it.
Ezekiel took Harmony into the store and looked at the shopkeeper. “Pick the most suitable gown for her.” He didn’t name his budget, but one look from him, and the shopkeeper knew this man didn’t care about price. She happily led Harmony to the second floor.
Novel My baby’s daddy chapter 2683-The shopkeeper looked at Harmony and easily knew what kind of dress would suit her most. She came to a cabinet that housed a rare item. A luxurious white dress sat within it, and the diamonds and gemstones embedded in the dress made it look like a starry night sky. This was a luxury fashion product.
Nonetheless, the dress wasn’t made with a bold outlook in mind. Therefore, an Eastern lady like Harmony was a perfect fit for this dress. “We can try this out, miss. See if you like it.” Harmony’s eyes went wide in amazement. This dress was dreamy and regal.
“Can I really try this out?” asked Harmony.
“Of course. You can try out all the dresses here tonight.” The shopkeeper smiled.
Harmony nodded. She would go with this one. She trusted the shopkeeper’s eye for fashion. Once Harmony tried out the dress, the shopkeeper herself was shocked by the result. She had seen countless runway models trying out dresses here before making their purchases. Yet, Harmony possessed a different type of beauty than experienced models. She exuded a certain kind of elegance. Thus, she was the perfect fit to show off this dress.
“It’s gorgeous.” Harmony held her breath, enjoying the look. The fabric was great; the colors were dreamy. Frankly, it felt as if her dreams of becoming a princess had come alive after wearing this dress. This dress was perfectly elegant “This is one of the rare items available in the store. It’s worth buying,” said the shopkeeper.
Harmony nodded. “Okay, I’ll take this one then.” The shopkeeper liked her, especially because of her gentle demeanor. She’d seen too many pushy customers. Hence, Harmony was a breath of fresh air.
The shopkeeper’s attitude remained friendly the entire time. Harmony had long, lustrous hair. The shopkeeper initially wanted to use some hair oil, but she thought Harmony’s hair was perfect as it was. It shouldn’t be ruined by some unnecessary hair products, if possible.
The shopkeeper permed her hair and tied a little bun. She then clipped it with a diamond hair clip, making her hair look fluffy. The shopkeeper styled her up from head to toe. Even the shoes were the latest design of the season. “Have a fun night, lady. You may see your boyfriend now.” Harmony went red. She wanted to explain but thought there was no need for that. Instead, she smiled lightly and went back to the stairway. She placed her hand on the ivory handrail as she carefully went downstairs.
A waitress was refilling Ezekiel’s glass with water. She raised her head and was momentarily stunned by the sight before her.
Then, she praised sincerely, “You have a gorgeous girlfriend, sir.” Ezekiel was taken aback by the comment. Nevertheless, when he turned back to see Harmony, he realized what was happening. Is that a princess walking this way? She’s wonderful. Ezekiel smiled. He didn’t bother explaining his relationship with Harmony. Rather, he pretended she truly was his girlfriend.
Ezekiel stood up and looked at Harmony with admiration in his eyes.
When Harmony noticed Ezekiel staring at her, she got a little stiff. As a result, she tripped on the last step and staggered ahead.
“Careful,” said Ezekiel. He hastily approached Harmony and held her up.
Harmony raised her head and apologized, “I’m sorry.” She didn’t mean to inconvenience anyone.
In Ezekiel’s eyes, she looked even more phenomenal up close. She looked just like a real-life elf. He felt his heart flutter as she stood beside him. It was his first time feeling something for a woman. “This dress fits you perfectly. It’s beautiful,” he said earnestly.
Harmony curled her lips into a delighted grin, and so did Ezekiel. She might be magical. How else could she manage to make me so happy with just a smile?
“Let’s go.” Ezekiel extended his hand. “Hold my arm so you won’t fall again.” Harmony smiled sheepishly. However, she obediently held his arm and went to the entrance. They then got into the car and went to the ballroom.
Novel My baby’s daddy chapter 2684 -The ball was held on the top floor of a hotel. This place was where the big shots of the entertainment and fashion industry had chosen to gather this night. There was a lot of blue blood here, too. This was a place for everyone to flaunt their power and status. Catalina got in after hooking up with a director. He was a man in his fifties and embroiled in a lot of scandals. Catalina had to go through several hoops just to get the ticket.
She went around alone after entering the venue, searching for Harmony. Alas, the blasted woman was nowhere to be found. She can’t have lost her right to come, can she? All the guests are almost here. She’s just a nobody. There’s no way she’d dare to come here late, right?
Just then, the door that was closed for a few minutes opened up once more. A pair of guests stood under the limelight. They were none other than Harmony and Ezekiel. Catalina’s eyes went wide as she stared at Harmony in disbelief. Is that still Harmony? She looked a lot more regal than before, and the man she came in with was the dream of many women.
An angry Catalina held her glass tighter. She came, and she changed into something more expensive.
The director asked, “Who is she, Ms. Martin? Is she famous back in your country?” “She’s just a C-lister. Nothing more,” snapped Catalina.
Harmony was holding Ezekiel’s arm. The organizer welcomed them passionately. Harmony was a little nervous since this was her first time dealing with something like this. Fortunately, Ezekiel could deal with these people in her stead. All she had to do was smile, shake hands, and say hi.
Catalina stared at Ezekiel like a she-wolf stalking her prey. She’d forgotten about hating Harmony. All she wanted to do was hook up with Ezekiel. So, she asked the director, “Who’s the gentleman? He seems desired.” The director had no idea who Ezekiel really was because he was out of his league. However, he knew Ezekiel was friends with the top wealthy people.
“He’s a powerful man. They say he’s friends with the richest men and royalty all over the world,” said the director.
The shocked Catalina’s glass almost slipped out of her hand. She covered her mouth in disbelief. “He’s that powerful?” How did a nobody like Harmony run into a guy like him? It seems like I’ve underestimated her. This just means I have to seize my chance and take him for myself. It will all be worth it, even if I have to invest some money in him.
After Harmony parted with Ezekiel to get some juice, Catalina stepped in. “Well, someone’s in the limelight today.” Harmony frowned. She didn’t expect Catalina to be here. Regardless, she had no intention of entertaining Catalina. So, Harmony took the juice and tried to leave.
Catalina mocked, “I’ve never seen this dress before. Where’d you get it? Some cheap, fifth- rate sweatshop?” Harmony retorted, “I don’t blame you for your ignorance. There is no way you can understand the true value of this dress.” Catalina bit her lip. She realized Harmony hadn’t returned to Ezekiel’s side, and Ezekiel was chatting with some guests. After he was done talking, Catalina thought she would have a chance to say hi. Or she could create a little chance encounter. Let’s do this. Catalina approached Ezekiel. She was waiting for him to turn around. Once that happened, she would get in his way so he would bump into her. When he apologized, she could show him how magnanimous she was by forgiving him.
Meanwhile, Harmony was coming back with a glass of juice in hand. She raised her head and saw just where Catalina was standing. Still, she immediately saw through Catalina’s plan as she smirked in amusement. Oh, you’re not going to set Ezekiel up.
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2685-Harmony approached Ezekiel. When she passed by Catalina, she deliberately tilted her head in Catalina’s direction as she placed her hand on Ezekiel’s arm.
Ezekiel smiled when Harmony returned to his side. He stopped talking to the guest, and Harmony said, “I wanna see the scenery there.” “Sure,” said Ezekiel.
Catalina’s plan failed, and her face contorted in rage. She glared at Harmony with hatred. / will make her suffer tonight.
They could see the whole city shrouded in the blanket of night as they stood on the balcony. Harmony took out her phone and tried to take a selfie. After all, she was a celebrity. So, it was kind of within her job description to show off her beauty to her fans. Suddenly, she was seized by a bout of desire as she asked, “Mr. Weiss, can we take a wefie?” I might not get to see him again. If that’s the case, I’ll take a picture of him to commemorate this night.
Ezekiel nodded. “Of course.” Harmony turned on the front camera and scooted closer to Ezekiel. Ezekiel asked, “Want me to hold the phone? I’m taller.” Harmony agreed. If she had taken the photo, her face would have looked big due to the angle. “Sure.” Harmony smiled and gave him the phone. Then, she pressed a button so the phone would take the photo after six seconds. Ezekiel held the phone up. From his angle, the photo was taken at a suitable distance.
Harmony leaned on his chest and smiled. The smile was captured on camera.
Ezekiel looked at the photo and said, “Send me a copy of the photo.” Harmony was surprised. He wants our wefie? She nodded agreeably. “Sure. I’ll give you a copy later.” A middle-aged man came up to Ezekiel. “Can we talk, Mr. Weiss?” There was anticipation in his eyes. Harmony pushed him. “Go. I’ll stay here and wait. I need to catch a break.” Ezekiel nodded. “Don’t run around. Wait for me.” And he left.
Harmony couldn’t help but feel as though she had eaten something sweet after hearing those words. It feels like I’m a kid who needs someone to tend to. It feels great. Warm and fuzzy. Once Ezekiel was gone, Harmony checked the photo. It was a nice one. Alas, when she took a closer look, her face went beet red. Why’d I lean on his chest? And his arm’s on the balustrade behind us. It makes it look like he’s holding me. The photo made them look like a couple.
Harmony’s face went apple red as her heart started to race.
She took a few pictures of the night scene. Catalina came bearing a glass of red wine. Harmony was the only one she knew here. She tried to say hi to the top celebrities and business owners, but they ignored her after giving her a cursory yet polite glance.
Everyone came here to know people better than them, not those who were worse off. Any no- name characters would be sidelined here. “You used to love Reuben, so what are you doing now? Having a change of heart so fast?” Harmony tucked her phone away and looked at Catalina. “Mr. Weiss is a hundred times better than Reuben. I’m not blind. If there’s a better guy out there, why would I stay loyal to a jerk?” “You’re already dating Mr. Weiss?” Catalina was obviously getting jealous.
Harmony smiled. “My private affairs are none of your business.” Catalina choked on herself, utterly infuriated. She harrumphed as she said snidely, “Look in the mirror. You’re not a good match for him.” “And that’s still not your business,” Harmony retorted, turning back.
“People who try to grasp the moon will inevitably fall hard,” said Catalina.
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2686-Harmony ignored Catalina and left without so much as a glance. Catalina seethed with resentment. Harmony’s lack of response told her that she and Ezekiel would never be a thing. Harmony never thought she would become an item with Ezekiel. She knew where she stood. So, she wouldn’t ask for more. All she wanted was to grasp this short-lived happiness.
When Ezekiel made it back to the balcony, he didn’t see Harmony anywhere.
Meanwhile, Catalina had stayed behind. Her eyes shone with greed as she quickly said, “Mr. Weiss, hi. I’m Harmony’s friend. Are you looking for her? She’s gone to the bathroom. Why don’t you wait for her here?” “You’re Miss Mayo’s friend?” Ezekiel narrowed his eyes.
“Yep. We’re both celebs, and we worked together before. It’s great she met you.
She just broke up with her boyfriend, and I was worried she might not get over him.” Catalina sighed, hinting to Ezekiel that Harmony used to be in a relationship. I bet people like Ezekiel prefer innocent girls.
“I know she just broke up,” said Ezekiel. He obviously didn’t mind.
Catalina was shocked. Does he know her well? “Oh, I see. I thought you didn’t know. She’s a nice girl, but she has too many suitors,” slandered Catalina.
“Is that so?” Ezekiel took a sip of his red wine. He was not surprised. There was something likable about Harmony. He couldn’t deny that he was attracted to her as well.
“You don’t mind?” Catalina asked curiously.
Ezekiel shook his head. “I don’t.” “So, you’re going to court her?” Catalina asked again. He wanted to know all about Ezekiel’s thoughts on Harmony and find out how far they would go.
Ezekiel hadn’t thought that far. Courtship?
Harmony returned to the hall. She did go to the bathroom earlier. When she searched for Ezekiel, she saw him standing with Catalina. Her heart sank at the sight as she felt something inexplicable filling her soul. Nonetheless, she realized it was jealousy after musing it over.
When Ezekiel saw her, he went over to her. Harmony squashed that ugly emotion into a little ball as she smiled at him. “Done with your chat?” “Yes. I met your friend,” said Ezekiel.
Harmony was stunned, Catalina called herself my friend? And she talked to Ezekiel? Nothing good, I bet. “What did she tell you?” Harmony asked, smiling curiously.
“She said you just broke up with your boyfriend and need someone by your side, answered Ezekiel. He beamed. “Ah, she also told me you have a lot of suitors. Is that true?” Harmony knew what Catalina told Ezekiel after hearing his words. There’s no doubt she told him about the breakup. I can bet every dollar I own that she also said I have a lot of suitors just to make me look like a girl who goes around sleeping with a ton of guys. Ezekiel didn’t fall for it, though. It’s cute. “How lovely of her, but she’s not my friend. She’s the one who stole my ex,” said Harmony, nipping Catalina’s scheme in the bud.
Ezekiel was shocked. “Is that so?” He turned to Catalina again, his gaze colder and sharper.
Catalina almost choked on her wine as she sensed his gaze on her. What did she tell him to make him look at me in disgust?
“Stay away from her. If she tries to hurt you, tell me. I’ll make her pay.” Ezekiel looked at Harmony. He sounded like he’d taken up the role of her guardian angel.
Harmony beamed. Nice assist, Catalina. “Thank you, Mr. Weiss.” Harmony asked, “Do they serve a buffet here?” I’m hungry.
“They do. Right here.” Ezekiel smiled and held Harmony’s hand. Then, he promptly led her to the hall, where a buffet was served.
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2687-Harmony wasn’t the kind of person who wouldn’t communicate after an obvious.
misunderstanding had happened. She would talk if she had to in order to nip those things in the bud.
Ezekiel took her to the buffet hall. It was classy and resplendent, and Harmony’s eyes shone with anticipation. This buffet is going to cost at least a few hundred dollars anywhere else. All real and expensive food here. I gotta enjoy them.
Can’t waste this chance. Harmony took a plate. Ezekiel followed her.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t let loose and take everything she wanted due to her occupation. Still, she did her best and took whatever she wanted to eat.
Harmony took a seat beside the floor-to-ceiling window. She enjoyed the view as she ate. Ah, happiness. She wasn’t someone who required expensive designer bags to be happy. All she needed was a nice meal. It’s a good thing Sera stopped me from eating at the restaurant. I can eat more here.
Ezekiel looked at her. He saw how her eyes shone at the sight of good food.
She felt real and down-to-earth. She wasn’t putting on a pretense like all those women he had met in his life.
Harmony raised her head. When she noticed how little food Ezekiel had taken, she went red. “You don’t eat a lot, do you, Mr. Weiss?” Ezekiel explained, “I had dinner before I came.” Harmony nodded. She kept eating while Ezekiel leaned languidly on the back of his chair. He would pop a piece of his food into his mouth from time to time as he watched Harmony.
Every time Harmony had a taste of something she never had before, her eyes would glimmer with joy. Ezekiel saw everything. It felt like he was seeing an innocent girl tasting good stuff.
After the enjoyable meal, Harmony sang her praises, “It was worth it coming here.” Ezekiel chuckled in amusement.
Harmony looked at him, a little awkward. “Sorry, that was embarrassing.” “No. I quite like your real self. It’s cute.” Ezekiel looked at Harmony, smiling. “I like being in the company of people who are true to themselves.” Harmony bit her lip. “Can I take some more food, then?” “Go. Take anything you want.” Ezekiel didn’t mind. All that mattered was that Harmony was enjoying her time here.
Harmony took her plate and grabbed more food and dessert. All of them were small in portions. She gave him a plate of the food she took. “You want some?” Ezekiel picked it up. “I’ll have a taste.”” Harmony’s lips curled into a small smile as she looked at Ezekiel. Ezekiel thought her smile was like honey on a cake. Sweet. After a beat, he inquired curiously, “So when are you flying home?” “If nothing else happens, I’ll be boarding a flight home tomorrow,” said Harmony.
“That’s soon.” “Yeah. I’ll have to hash the script out and start the shooting. Plus, I have some events to attend,” said Harmony. Now that she finally had some popularity, she had to work to pay off the mortgage for her and Sera’s house.
“Your Chinese isn’t bad. Ever consider taking up roles in foreign films?” asked Ezekiel.
Harmony’s eyes went wide as she blinked at him dumbly. Then, she put on a smile of resignation. “I don’t have any connections or resources that can get me a role.” “I am your connection and resource,” said Ezekiel.
Harmony smiled wryly. “I’ve troubled you enough. I can’t ask you to give me any more resources. Besides, I don’t have anything to repay you with.” “I’m serious, Miss Mayo. I want to help you stand on the international stage. Say the word, and I’ll do it,” said Ezekiel solemnly. His company was progressing fine. So, he could afford to spend some time supporting a soon- to-be worldfamous star.
Harmony’s mind was blown. She could feel that Ezekiel wasn’t lying. “Are you serious, Mr. Weiss?” Harmony couldn’t believe it. Will he help me unconditionally?
“Yes.” Ezekiel nodded.
Harmony pursed her lips. Her mind was filled with white noise as she tried to make sense of what was going on. Then, she asked quietly, “How should I repay you? Do you want me to date you or something?”
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2688-Harmony was red when she was done talking. She knew about this industry’s unwritten rule. If a man wanted to help her, then she had to sleep with him in return. There were no free lunches in this world.
Ezekiel narrowed his eyes. “You don’t have to date me,” he muttered.
Harmony felt her blood grow cold. So, I’m not worthy? I knew my looks weren’t enough for him. “So, you want me to sleep with another guy?” she asked.
Her value was in her youth, after all.
He paused for a moment, then he smiled. “No. I just want to help you, that’s all.” She blinked. So, there’s actually a free meal in this world? “I’d like to have better resources and a good platform. If you’ll help me, I’ll do my best to act and make money for you. You won’t make a loss.” Harmony had made her choice-she accepted his help.
Ezekiel smiled. “Good. Then you’re not going back so soon. I’ll get someone to talk about the script with you. I’ll give you the best resources there are.
Harmony was shivering in excitement. She looked at Ezekiel, wondering how she should repay him. “Thank you, Mr. Weiss. I don’t know how to repay you,” Harmony said excitedly.
Ezekiel held her hand, and he assured her. “Don’t think about that for now. Just focus on your career.” She was in luck. The man was now her sponsor, and he wanted to make her a world-famous star. The man didn’t have any ulterior motives for doing this. He just liked her and wanted to make her famous. He had a lot of connections he could use, and he was a rich guy.
After that, Ezekiel took Harmony around to get to know all the directors. The directors made sure they remembered this beautiful Eastern woman.
Catalina watched everything, stewing and simmering inside. She watched how Ezekiel introduced Harmony to his connections and wished she was in Harmony’s place.
The clock struck 9.00PM. A lot of guests took an early leave. Ezekiel checked the time and decided to leave as well. He took Harmony with him. “It’s late. I’ll take you to the hotel.” “Sure.” Harmony nodded. She had her horizons expanded and had the honor of knowing all the top directors in the industry. To celebrities, it was an honor to meet the industry’s top dogs.
Catalina took an early leave. She couldn’t take it anymore, or she would explode with jealousy. All the directors she couldn’t even get to greet actually smiled and shook Harmony’s hand. She couldn’t take that.
Harmony got into the car. She wanted to get to the boutique to get her clothes back and give the jewelry back to the shopkeeper. The boutique was still open when she arrived. Harmony went inside to change her clothes and get her stuff.
The shopkeeper walked her to the entrance and saw her off.
Ezekiel’s motorcade took Harmony back to her hotel. The whole night, Harmony thought she was having a dream. She had the most extravagant night of her life.
The neon lights around were radiating romance. And then, after a long dry season, snow started to fall.
“It’s snowing,” Harmony mentioned, surprised.
Ezekiel looked outside the window. He was in a good mood, and he turned to Harmony. “Do you know how to ski?” “No, but I’d like to try.” Harmony smiled. She was so caught up in work that she had no time to try new stuff.
“I’ll take you to a skiing session if I get the chance.” “Really?” She was excited. She felt like she just hit the jackpot. Ezekiel was too nice to her.
“Yeah. Tell your manager to cancel all the plans back home. Stay here for a week. I promise I’ll convince her to sign you up for a movie,” he stated.
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2689-“Thank you,” Harmony said gratefully. Back at the ball, Ezekiel asked if she wanted to change her manager, but Harmony refused. She and Sera had come a long way. If it weren’t for Sera, she wouldn’t be here today. So, even though she had gotten Ezekiel’s support, she didn’t want to leave Sera behind.
Ezekiel respected her decision on that part.
They then reached the hotel. Harmony got out of the car and went around. She stopped in front of the side where Ezekiel was sitting. He rolled down the window, the lights shining on his beautiful face. Harmony was lost in his eyes for a few moments. She then smiled and waved him goodbye. “See you.” “You’d best go back now,” Ezekiel commented.
Harmony smiled and went into the hotel. Ezekiel’s car had just gone ten yards, but then he said to his bodyguard, “Stop the car.” He looked at a group of guys passing by. They were talking loudly and crudely. Obviously, they were in this hotel as well. Ezekiel narrowed his eyes. He realized having Harmony stay here was not a safe thing to do, and this hotel’s facilities were mediocre. It was clear this place was a safety hazard.
“What’s wrong, sir?” “Turn back and give me a moment,” Ezekiel ordered. The bodyguard drove back to the hotel. Ezekiel then got out of the car and went to the elevator.
Harmony had just gotten to her room. Sera was welcoming her. “Had a great night?” “You bet. Do you have any idea how many top directors I met? It was an eyeopening experience.” Harmony couldn’t wait to share her experience with Sera.
At that moment, someone rang the doorbell. Surprised, Sera said, “I’ll take the door.” She looked through the peephole and was even more surprised to see who it was. Mr. Weiss? Why did he come here? She opened the door. “Mr.
Weiss? Come in.” Harmony was stunned as well. She got up and looked at Ezekiel. “What brings you here?” “Pack up. I’ll get you rooms at a new hotel. This isn’t a safe place,” Ezekiel announced curtly.
Sera was surprised. She then heard a group of men messing around in the corridor, and they sounded raunchy. Ezekiel didn’t expect those guys to be on the same floor as the ladies. Now, he wanted to switch hotels for them even more.
Sera made up her mind quickly, and she said, “Harmony, pack up and check out. Too many guys are here tonight. It’s not safe.” Harmony looked at Ezekiel gratefully. So, he came back up because there are too many guys around here? “Sure.” Harmony took out her suitcase and packed it up with Sera while Ezekiel waited outside for them.
The packing didn’t take too long. The ladies were done a moment later. Sera checked all corners of the room, making sure that they didn’t leave anything behind. She told Harmony, “Let’s go, Harmony. I’ll check out.” Harmony’s luggage was big because she had a lot of stuff. The moment she came to the entrance, Ezekiel extended his hand. “I’ll do it.” “It’s fine. It’s not heavy. I can-” Harmony didn’t want to trouble him.
Ezekiel was already holding the handle, insisting on helping. As such, Harmony had no choice but to let go. Sera pushed the elevator button and waited for the two of them. They came to the lobby, and Sera checked out of their rooms. A bodyguard came in to take the luggage.
The ladies went into Ezekiel’s car, and the motorcade went to the city center.
They came to the seven-star hotel Ezekiel was staying in. The lobby was resplendent. Sera and Harmony then checked in-it was a presidential suite.
Ezekiel booked a ten-day stay for them.
Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2690-The cost alone shocked Sera. It cost more than 150 thousand. What did Harmony do to make Mr. Weiss so happy? He’s so generous.
“It’s late. You ladies should get some rest.” Ezekiel left after he got them the keys.
“Thank you, Mr. Weiss,” Sera said quickly.
Harmony then saw Ezekiel off. She wasn’t just feeling gratitude now. Ezekiel was like a god to her. She worshipped and loved him. The staff then led them to their rooms. A seven-star hotel’s service made the guests feel at home.
Once in the room, Sera turned around and hugged Harmony. “This is all thanks to you, Harmony. I can’t believe I get to stay in a hotel like this. This is great!” Harmony was a little dumbfounded, too, but she knew that Sera wasn’t happy just because they got to stay in this lovely hotel. Or at least she would have another reason real soon. “Sera, I have something to tell you, but you must stay calm, alright?” Sera sat Harmony down on the couch. “That alone makes me excited, you know that? So, what’s the good news?” “Ezekiel wants me to enter the international movie market,” Harmony announced honestly. International market of… Sera was stunned. Her eyes went wide. “Is that true? He’s really doing that for you?” Harmony nodded. “I’m sure. He introduced me to a ton of top directors tonight. I didn’t believe it at first, but he didn’t seem like he was lying.” Sera was so excited she could cry. She held Harmony’s hand. “You finally got your big break. You can show all the trolls that your future is brighter than anyone else. I’m so happy for you.” Sera was a broad-minded person. She knew she wasn’t good enough to bring Harmony to great success, so she let Harmony do what she had to do.
Harmony held Sera’s hand. “What are you talking about, Sera? You should be happy for both of us. No matter what kind of movie I’m getting in, you’ll still be my manager.” Sera was shocked upon hearing that. Harmony smiled sweetly and asked, “Don’t you want to clear your mortgage sooner?” Sera hugged her, shedding tears of joy. “Of course I want to, girl. Thank you, Harmony.” Thanks for not abandoning me.
Harmony was imagining their nice lives after this. Everyone wanted a nice life.
Being in this industry taught her that hard work was the only path to a good life.
Once she was presented with an opportunity, she would have to work hard. The ladies couldn’t sleep that night. They were on the couch, talking about the future. Harmony couldn’t even get a wink of sleep. She knew that her upcoming challenges would be big. Getting into the international market was something she had never dared to imagine.
As for Catalina, she couldn’t sleep either. She got up and scrolled through her phone, and she saw the news outlets back home showing the dress Harmony had worn earlier. It proved everyone wrong about how they laughed at Harmony for wearing last-season stuff. “Dammit!” Catalina gritted her teeth.
“What’s wrong?” Reuben was woken up by the noise. He hugged Catalina from behind, but she pushed him away in disgust.
She crossed her arms. “Why can you even sleep? Do you know that Harmony is going to enter the international movie market? She’s going to rise further in the industry.” Reuben woke up right away, shock coursing through him. How did Harmony please that guy so much that he would make her an international movie star? “I didn’t know she was this good.” Reuben was confused. When we were dating, she was dumb, stubborn, and obstinate. Even though she’s hot, I lost interest in her. Why does that Weiss guy think so highly of her? Did she seduce him or something?
