Tears cascaded down her face like an endless waterfall. The heartbreak was so overwhelming that she didn’t know how to handle it.
Outside, Sera continued reading the news article. She desperately wanted to share it with Ezekiel and have him explain what was going on. However, she didn’t dare to do so. After all, Ezekiel’s status was not something she could challenge. Having been in this circle for so long, she understood the rules of the game for the wealthy-one couldn’t be too demanding.
Even if Ezekiel was involved with another woman, all Harmony could do was cause a scene. After that, she would have to compromise if she wanted to continue enjoying his resources.
Meanwhile, in the office, Yunna also witnessed the impact of the media’s coverage, which pleased her greatly. She was waiting for Ezekiel to call her in so she could play the victim and explain herself. Surely, Ezekiel would feel sorry for her being implicated.
Ezekiel was currently in a meeting with managers who had flown in from all over the world to report to him. His mind was fully focused on work, oblivious to what was happening outside.
Miles was also engrossed in the meeting, leaving him no time to check the news online.
Finally, the meeting ended at 11:30a.m. After lunch, Ezekiel had two more meetings scheduled. His schedule was almost entirely filled with meetings.
Once the other managers had left, Yunna approached Ezekiel’s table to tidy up the documents. Seeing that Ezekiel was completely unaware of the online incident, she felt obligated to remind him.
“Mr. Weiss, take a look at this. I don’t know which media outlet wrote this nonsense. Our relationship is purely professional, but they wrote it as if we have an ambiguous relationship, Yunna said, pretending to be upset.
Ezekiel took the tablet and glanced at it, then reassured Yunna, “Don’t worry about it. It’s just the media making things up-” As he said this, Ezekiel suddenly stood up from his chair, startling Miles, who quickly asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
“Harmony.” Ezekiel grabbed his phone and rushed out of the meeting room, practically sprinting. Yunna couldn’t help but call after his retreating figure, ‘Mr. Weiss, you still have a meeting!”
