Ezekiel remained silent on the side, but amid his grandmother’s praise, his eyes were filled with amusement.
Harmony exchanged glances with him several times and averted her gaze shyly each time.
As dinner came to an end, Harmony’s phone rang. Seeing it was Sera, she said to Cecelia, “Ma’am, please allow me
to take this call.”
“Sure! Go ahead. We’re not strangers,” Cecelia replied.
“Hey, Sera,” Harmony answered the phone.
“Harmony, have you finished eating? Something happened at the television station just now. An intern climbed to

“What?! How’s the situation now?”
“They’re still in a standoff, and we don’t know how to persuade her. The fire department has arrived as well.”
“What can I do?” Harmony was anxious now. No matter what, she couldn’t let the situation escalate to the point of
someone attempting such a dangerous stunt.
Just then, Sera seemed to be talking to someone else. “What? You want my artist to come and talk to her… No way.
She can’t go to the rooftop. It’s too dangerous.”
When Harmony heard that, she stated outright, “Sera, I can come and talk to her. I’ll come over right away.”
“Harmony, you don’t need to…” Sera’s attempt to dissuade her was cut short as Harmony ended the call.
Turning to Cecelia, Harmony apologized to the elderly woman. “I’m sorry, ma’am. I have an urgent matter to
attend to. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
Ezekiel immediately stood up. “What’s the matter? I’ll come with you.”
“But-”
“It seems urgent. Let Ezekiel take you. I’ll have the driver take me home later,” Cecelia suggested before adding to
her grandson, “Take good care of Miss Mayo.”
“Alright, Grandma.” After saying that, he urged Harmony, “Let’s go!”
As soon as they were in the corridor, Harmony briefed Ezekiel on the intern threatening to jump from the rooftop.
He could tell she was anxious. Faced with a stranger, her anxiety revealed her inherently kind nature.

sounds of the fire department and the crowd below.
It seemed like things were getting out of control. Sera noticed Harmony immediately and rushed over to persuade
her. “Harmony, we shouldn’t go up. It’s too high, and the rooftop is too dangerous.”
At that moment, the police arrived and addressed Harmony, “You’re the artist, aren’t you? Please go up and try to
persuade the intern to come down.”
Harmony nodded without an ounce of hesitation. “Alright. I’ll go up.”
Just then, someone grabbed her hand. In the same determined tone, he uttered, “I’ll come with you.”
Harmony anxiously turned to see the man behind her. “No, you can’t go up. It’s too dangerous.”
