Alas, Harmony was far from pleasantly surprised right now. Instead, the surprise was so massive that it had turned into pure shock.
“You would never have guessed it,” Harmony sounded like she was going mad.
“Tell me. I don’t have time to play guessing games.”
“It’s me! He bought all that stuff today for me. The address he gave to the shops is mine.
He’s giving me everything he bought! Sera, I don’t know what to do.” Harmony was starting to sound less and less coherent.
“What? You lucky girl! You truly have lucked out!” Sera was happy for her.
However, Harmony felt like crying. “Who am I to even accept so many gifts from him?
People always say you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you. I’m too scared to accept this. I’m going to send it all back to him. I’m scared that I won’t be able to repay this favor in the future.”
There was a very timid look on Harmony’s face as she spoke.
“Silly girl, what nonsense are you spewing? Can’t you see that even if he wants you to pay him back, the payment wouldn’t be money? It would be you! Anyway, if you really think about it, being able to sleep with him is also a form of pleasure.”
“Sera, you…” Harmony felt faint upon hearing that.
Nevertheless, that was just how conversations between the two of them went. There would occasionally be playful jests tossed about as Sera was a 39-year-old woman who liked to make sexual jokes. There was a chance that Sera was doing it on purpose becauseof how Harmony would react every single time she cracked a joke like that, not because the woman would admit it to Harmony’s face.
“Oh, please. Don’t tell me for a second that you don’t want him!” Sera instantly hit the nail on the head.
Harmony was internally screaming her agreement. Ever since she had gotten to know
Ezekiel, she lost track of what self-restraint was. Instead, she would spend all day long thinking of him and lusting after him while acting like a proper lady on the surface. Just then, her phone rang. She had gotten another call. “Sera, I have to get off the phone right now. I have an incoming call.”
Harmony answered the call. Her current greatest fear was confirmed as it was fromcouriers, who were waiting at her door. Since these were personally delivered by these sales associates, the parcels had to be full of expensive luxury goods that could not afford to be damaged in any way.
After she was done accepting the parcels, she received another call in less than 10 minutes. There was yet another batch of parcels for her to sign for. In the end, her nap was interrupted as she had to sign off on the delivery slips from 5.00PM to 6.00PM. Ezekiel had specifically instructed the shops to deliver his purchases during this hour.
