However, being unaccustomed to such occasions, she soon had a bit too much red wine and started feeling a bit lightheaded. Coupled with the pressure of the glamorous social scene, she began to experience a considerable amount of stress.
“Ezekiel, I’m going to take a break over there. Come find me later,” Harmony said to him.
“Are you tired? Do you want to go home?” Ezekiel looked at her with concern.
Harmony smiled. “I’m not tired. I just need some time to myself. You go ahead.” Ezekiel indeed had many guests to attend to that night. He led her to a nearby couch and handed her a cup of warm water. “Don’t drink any more wine, alright?
Have some warm water instead.” “Okay!” Harmony nodded. She really needed some water. As soon as Ezekiel left, the two ladies from earlier suddenly appeared, sitting on either side of her.
“Miss Mayo, we’re sorry about earlier! We didn’t mean to offend you.” “Yes, please don’t take it personally!” Harmony didn’t expect them to come over and apologize. She smiled faintly. “It’s okay!” “Is that your boyfriend? What’s his name? Which family is he from?” They hadn’t managed to find out about Ezekiel’s background, so they decided to check with Harmony.
Upon hearing their apology, Harmony realized they were trying to find out about Ezekiel through her, and she retorted, “Are you interested in my boyfriend?” The two girls blushed awkwardly for a few seconds, then chuckled, “We just want to get to know him. We won’t steal your boyfriend.” “If you’re curious, find out for yourselves! I just want some peace.” Harmony didn’t bother to be polite.
The two girls had no choice but to leave. They had actually gotten in through connections and didn’t come from affluent families. They were hoping to meet some wealthy young men here.
Looking at Ezekiel in the crowd, dazzling and charming, Harmony suddenly felt overwhelmed, feeling that she didn’t deserve a man like him. She was unworthy, for he was absolutely outstanding.
