What Ezekiel said terrified Harmony, and she hastily rejected the offer. “There’s no need for that! Don’t giveanything. My hhas enough space for the gifts. Don’t givea villa. | won't accept it anyway.” Her refusal of his offer made Ezekiel grin. She was so adorable.
“Okay. We'll discuss it another day.” “Not even in the future. | really can’t accept it in good conscience. | don’t even know how to repay you for the gifts you've giventoday,” she said with her face twisted in frustration.
“I don’t need you to repayanything,” he replied with a chuckle.

“How do you want to repaythen?” He was strangely curious.
She instantly recalled Sera’s comment about giving herself to him. Her face went bright red as she stammered, “I-1 don’t know yet.” “Okay. We'll talk about it once you've thought about it. There's no rush.” He chuckled once more. There was an eager glint shimmering within his eyes.
“Thank you for today.” “There's no need for formalities between us. I'll talk to you when I'm free. | have another meeting to attend,” he said as he was still stuck in the conference room.
“Very well. I'll let you get back to work.” She hung up and sighed as she stared at her phone. The sudden onslaught of ludicrous wealth was making her feel rather faint.
Just as she was about to settle down and relax, her phone rang once more. She turned to look at it, wondering if it was Ezekiel.
It was not. Instead, it was Sera. “Hey, Sera.” “The Apocalypse’ is flying in for their promotional tour. Girl, you've been invited to attend with the entire main cast!” “What? Are you serious, Sera?” Harmony was beside herself with excitement. It was a great honor.
“Absolutely. Also, you're placed quite prominently on the posters. This is just a guess, but I'm guessing Mr. Weiss has dragged the entire cast over for their tour just to promote you.” Harmony was already overwhelmed by all of Ezekiel’s sweet gestures. Hence, she was dumbfounded when she heard that he did this for her as well.

Then, knock on his door in the middle of the night. | guarantee that whatever gift you're planning won't be able to top that.” “Sera, be serious,” Harmony retorted. “Can we please exercise srestraint?” “If you won't do it, | will!” “You...” Harmony burst out laughing, utterly exasperated. “Stop fooling around, Sera. Helpthink of a plan. | genuinely feel like | owe him way too much.” “Well, it’s up to you. | think Mr. Weiss is only doing this because he likes you. Do | need to tell you what he wants? Reuben didn’t lay a hand on you, right? Be honest with me. Are you still a...” Harmony blushed. She had never discussed this with anyone else before. Nevertheless, she decided to be frank today. “Yes. I'm still...” “That’s good enough. Give him the best. That is the perfect way to repay him.” As someone who worked in the entertainment industry, Harmony knew full well that many business deals were done just for that thing.
Job opportunities and connections were, frankly speaking, all done for sex. It was just a transaction where the other person's body was the price.
Naturally, she did not want to think he was that shallow. Yet, she also couldn't deny that she wouldn't hesitate if he needed something like that. Right now, she couldn't help but feel super glad that she had never allowed Reuben to go beyond first base. That sc*mbag didn’t deserve it.
Her decision had allowed her to keep her body for the man she loved in the future. She also knew that repaying a man with sex would make her seem frivolous. So, she was quite stumped.
How else could she make it up to him besides offering herself? Then again, she would probably want to be kicked off to Mars if he rejected her after she approached him.
“The event is this Saturday. Don’t overthink things. | can feel your brain overcooking. Wrap up this tour before spending your tthinking about this stuff.” “Got it,” Harmony replied.
“The cast and crew think highly of you. So, we need to be well-prepared and not let them down.”
