Ezekiel could only say, “Okay, the next one’s on me.” Harmony did not refute either because only that way could they plan for their next meeting.
“Have you informed your bodyguard to cand pick you up?” she asked.
“I haven't informed them,” Ezekiel said, his deep gaze filled with anticipation. “Can I return to your place and rest for a while?” Filled with surprise, Harmony seemed to have not considered rejecting him or being wary of him. She wanted nothing more than for him to go to her home. However, she nodded gracefully on the surface and said, “Of course. My place isn’t very far from here, and it’s easy to hail a cab here.” Ezekiel nodded. “Okay, let's go to your place then.” When they exited the restaurant, the outside had already transformed into a bustling and vibrant night view. The distant skyscrapers seemed particularly magnificent and dazzling, while the shops below exuded a lively atmosphere.

It'll be here soon.” Allowing her to hold his hand, Ezekiel walked with her to the side of the road, where a driver stopped before them in a while. Then, Harmony opened the car door, letting Ezekiel get in before she did.
While the driver was usually good at his job, too many people were outside at night, so he had to slam on the brakes several times and accelerate suddenly. During a sharp turn, Harmony fell directly into Ezekiel’s arms.
Ezekiel immediately held her tightly in his embrace. In the dimly lit backseat, the two found themselves squished together, but it felt sweet because they rarely had an opportunity to do so. Therefore, while the driver was speeding, he had inadvertently created a perfect chance for the two in the back to cuddle.
Harmony’s face must be flushed because she could feel it burning. Although she often had physical contact with male actors during filming, she usually didn’t feel anything. However, for sreason, she felt her body suddenly warming up after falling into Ezekiel’s embrace. Is it because of the pleasant musky fragrance on him, or is it the captivating masculine scent? At last, the driver managed to get Harmony hin just 15 minutes, which she felt reluctant about. She had never wished that the driver would take a longer route, but this time, she truly wished the driver would have intentionally taken a longer detour.
After Harmony paid the fare, the driver couldn't help but ask in surprise, “Are you that actress?” That rendered her slightly embarrassed as she was not expecting to be recognized. She smiled without responding, and the driver left.
Seeing Ezekiel tidying his somewhat disheveled shirt and collar on the side, Harmony couldn't help but smile when she recalled she had been clutching his shirt just now.
“Do you need my help?” Harmony stood in front of him and asked.
Ezekiel curved up his lips. “Sure. Helptidy up.” Harmony straightened out his shirt and offered shyly, “Let's go back to my place.” Inside the elevator, Harmony felt her heart racing. The last tthey had a meal together was during the day, but inviting him to her hat night felt somehow more flirtatious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Harmony stepped out of the elevator, she suddenly saw a figure leaning against the wall next to her door-it was Reuben. He was standing there with a bouquet of flowers and a gift in his hands.
Upon hearing the elevator arriving, Reuben couldn't help but feel giddy. However, a wave of jealousy surged within him when he saw Harmony walking toward him with another man by her side.
“What are you doing here?” Harmony asked angrily.
“Harmony, I'm just here to congratulate you. That's it.” Reuben tried to conceal his desire to get back together with Harmony.
“That's not necessary. Please leave and don’t botherand my boyfriend. You're spoiling our mood,” Harmony retorted and held Ezekiel’s wrist, declaring the latter was her boyfriend.
In the meantime, Ezekiel also gave Reuben a warning gaze.
