Otherwise, how coincidental could it be for him to end up in the room next door?
Ezekiel took out his phone in the adjacent room and dialed his assistant’s number. “Get me a spot on the red carpet for tomorrow’s Fashion Week”
“Mr. Weiss, are you also planning to walk the red carpet?”
“I’m taking someone with me,” Ezekiel replied.
After the passionate night between Catalina and Reuben in the luxurious confines of a five- star hotel, he devoted himself entirely to her as he lay in bed with her. Although he was merely deemed a useless man who had to use his body to climb up the ranks, he cared little for such judgments. Instead, he was driven solely by pursuing a promising future.
Catalina, somewhat content with Reuben’s performance that night, smiled and spoke, “Reuben, I can’t wait to see Harmony’s downfall. I have my Internet ghostwriters ready. Once her video gets back to Dansbury, we’ll spread it widely. With her ability, she won’t stand a chance against the public backlash, Let’s sit back and watch the entire Internet turn against her!”
Reuben, kissing her cheek, complimented, “You’re remarkable, sweetheart. Harmony is no match for you.”
“You should show some effort, too. Improve your acting skills so you can handle and won’t miss out on the roles I secure for you,” scolded Catalina.
Since Reuben was a gigolo, he had no choice but to endure her treatment with a grin. Even if he didn’t like hearing such words, he clung to Catalina playfully as he murmured, “Okay, I’ll improve my acting skills so I don’t disappoint my lovely wife.”
Catalina, a connoisseur of men, affectionately patted him with a smile. “Good. I’ll be waiting for the day you win the Best Actor award. On that day, I’ll be your true wife.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“I can’t sleep,” Catalina replied with a touch of indifference.
Reuben lifted his head to check her expression in response. His gaze followed hers to the distant advertisement screen, where Harmony’s silhouette appeared. The intense surge of passionate emotions he had just vented on Catalina rushed back. Reuben harbored a complex mix of love and unfulfilled desire towards Harmony.
Over the years, Harmony had firmly held her ground, refusing to give in. She insisted on reserving her first time for marriage. Now, Reuben couldn’t help but feel that he had been played for a fool. Why had he shown her so much respect?
Now that he had lost her, he realized that the platonic love affair they had had for five years was too much of a loss. Of course, he hadn’t been idle privately and had pursued several young models while she was busy with her career.
At that moment, Reuben silently contemplated, One day, I’ll make you beg to return to my side, Harmony.
