Night of Destiny

“I’m a man of my word.” Ezekiel smirked as his gaze shifted toward Harmony. His voice carried strength and weight, leaving no room for doubt.

Harmony’s face, cold and pale from the freezing wind, became tinged with a hint of blush under his gaze.

“Mr. Weiss, I’ll leave Harmony to your capable hands. Please take her to the red carpet for some photos and make an appearance,” Sera said.

“Sure. Just leave it to me!” Ezekiel nodded, adding, “I’ve arranged for Miss Mayo to watch the Fashion Week runway show. So, we might leave later than expected.”

This statement caught Sera off guard momentarily. Nonetheless, she quickly snapped back to her senses and happily replied, “No problem. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Harmony was also astonished by this sudden turn of events. How did she get the privilege to watch the runway? Just how influential was Ezekiel? Tickets for such events were not easy to come by!

“Miles, make the arrangements. We’re leaving.” Ezekiel instructed his assistant.

“Got it. I’ll inform them of your attendance,” Miles responded.

Harmony and Sera arrived at the entrance under Ezekiel’s lead. Miles immediately gave them a thumbs-up gesture. Then, Sera told Harmony, “Harmony, give it your all. Now pass me your coat.” Harmony nodded and took off her outer coat, revealing a simple yet elegant long-sleeved evening dress. An elegant scarf accentuated her gorgeous collarbone, and her beautifully shaped cleavage could be seen at certain angles.

Ezekiel felt his heart pound as she took her coat off. Although he had already watched her starring in an Asian film and had taken the chance to admire her grace in traditional clothing, he realized that she

was equally stunning in an evening gown.

Sera was escorted out by security. Just then, Catalina’s assistant, who was instructed to stay behind, made an urgent call to Catalina.

“Hello? What’s going on? Did you get the shot?”

“Catalina, Harmony is about to walk the red carpet, and someone is taking her up soon,” the assistant reported. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“What? How is that possible?” Catalina, still arm in arm with Reuben, had just completed her walk on the red carpet and used all her skills to linger for three minutes.

“It’s true. A super handsome and wealthy man is accompanying her.” The assistant was exceedingly jealous. Where did Harmony find such a handsome escort?

“A-choo!” Harmony started sneezing repeatedly the minute she took off her coat and stood in the wind for 10 seconds.

Then, she looked at Ezekiel nervously. “It’s my first time walking the red carpet here, so I’m quite nervous.”

Ezekiel reached out to her. “I’ll hold your hand.”

Harmony placed her hand in his large palm. Her icy fingers surprised the man because he felt as if he was holding an ice stick. Conversely, his warm palm became Harmony’s only source of warmth.

She instinctively intertwined her fingers with his as he led her onto the stage. At this moment, a few artists from various parts of the world, representing different skin tones, also ascended the stage.

Harmony, with her Eastern charm, quickly became the focus of the journalists’ cameras as they also wondered who the man beside her was.

Several domestic reporters recognized Harmony and hurriedly snapped their shutters. This was a fresh development. A newly awarded actress from Dansbury suddenly appeared on such a prestigious red carpet. It would be a significant topic. They had no doubt that this would make the headlines if this piece of information reached Dansbury.

Harmony could feel a sneeze coming on. Yet, she also knew all too well that she couldn’t possibly sneeze in front of the journalists’ flashing cameras. Otherwise, she would be utterly humiliated. Due to that, she had no choice but to bury her face in Ezekiel’s chest as she sneezed.

A subtle smile played on Ezekiel’s lips. He knew that she was freezing. So, he reached out and took off his own suit jacket before draping it over her. When the high-quality, handmade black suit was worn on the delicate and charming figure of the girl, it instantly created a captivating and endearing scene.

Harmony’s beauty gained a unique touch before the camera. Plus, the man attentively attending to her also entered the frame. His otherworldly nobility and handsome face exuded an elegant prince-like aura from every angle.
