Harmony paused for a moment, contemplating if there was anything she had left unsaid. Eventually, she remembered something and said, “Oh, right! The jewelry and watch you gave me before, I will return them to you. These are all valuable items, and I don’t want to keep them.”
Ezekiel felt a pang in his chest. How wonderful! This girl has already planned to leave! How considerate of you to think about returning the gifts I gave you.
“I’ve seen many assistants having that kind of relationship with their bosses, I understand. After all, you had needs before you met me,” Harmony sympathetically explained.
Ezekiel sighed and asked again, “Is there anything else you want to say? I’ll wait for you to finish.”
Seeing that he neither denied nor admitted, Harmony was certain she was right. She suppressed her sadness and said, “No, that’s all. Oh! I will also inform the director that we won’t be borrowing your car anymore, as I don’t want to inconvenience you.”
Ezekiel was on the verge of exploding with anger, unable to believe that Harmony was so efficient in severing their ties, not even giving him a chance to explain.
“Are you also packing up and moving out of my room tonight?” Ezekiel couldn’t help but ask. Harmony nodded. “Yes, I should leave. I won’t disturb you and your beautiful assistant, lest I’m labeled inconsiderate.”
“How considerate of you.” Ezekiel huffed. Harmony couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. “You’re my benefactor! Of course, I have to be considerate.”
Ezekiel was so angry that he could feel his blood boiling. Are all my efforts in this past month meaningless to you?! Do you have no trust in me?!
“Harmony Mayo, listen to me. I, Ezekiel Weiss, only want you in this lifetime. If you dare leave me, I will search for you relentlessly.” Ezekiel lightly slapped the table, expressing his opinion.
Harmony was taking a sip of her coffee when she was startled by his words and burned her mouth. She hissed in pain.
The man across the table immediately got up and leaned over to check on her. “What’s wrong? Let me see.”
