Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2678

They seemed to be treating Harmony as a guest of honor. Harmony felt her heart pumping furiously. As these big shots smiled and raised a toast to her, Harmony felt dumbfounded, but she pretended to be calm. She started wondering once more who this Mr. Weiss really was.

Once the guests had all arrived, the runway began at 4.30PM. Harmony had only heard of this fashion show before. The famous and powerful of all nations took pride in being able to watch this fashion show. Anyone who could show up here would make it to the headlines back in their homeland, and it was enough material for the media to pick up for a while.

After the lights were dimmed, Harmony felt a bit more at ease. She stole a glance at the man beside her. The light was shining on his face, and his profile was so perfect that it was captivating. He was regal yet aloof.

Harmony was still staring, and the guy had turned his attention from the runway to her, and their eyes met. Harmony felt her heart skipping a beat, and then she put on a stiff smile. Ezekiel smiled as well, and he turned from an aloof gentleman into a warm and welcoming guy.

Harmony felt her heart getting tickled by something, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. She turned her attention back to the runway, watching the mesmerizing models. She dashed her earlier thoughts. There are a ton of pretty women in this world. I’m nothing compared to them. I was just lucky Mr. Weiss wanted to help me. All I have to feel is gratitude. Nothing else. Or else I’d be getting myself into a rut.

Even though she was only 23 years old, Harmony had gone through too much, and she saw through society’s true colors. She knew the unwritten rules and knew how to protect herself. For example, men like Ezekiel were good to admire from afar, but if she got too close, she would be burned.
