At night, Harmony took a shower. Her long hair was draped over as she leaned on the couch comfortably while lost in thought. She seemed to have developed a liking for spacing out lately. On the other hand, Sera became busy. Even though Harmony was heavily criticized, her acting skills were acknowledged. After all, being criticized was a form of publicity.
Sera had at least ten scripts in her hand and was choosing earnestly. Simultaneously, she handed a few scripts to Harmony. “Here. These are the ones I’ve selected. Take a look and see which one you would like to film.”
Harmony snapped out of her reverie, picked up the scripts, and flipped through them. They used to plead with production crews for acting roles in the past, but now, many roles would come knocking at their door.
“The shooting period for TV dramas is long, so let’s hold off on those for now. You’ve already entered the movie industry, so let’s consider film roles.”
“Sera, let’s choose a script with fewer intimate scenes!” Harmony suggested.
“Sure. We’ll choose one with fewer intimate scenes. Sera accommodated her mood. Then, she put down the scripts and asked sincerely, “Harmony, you’re not really falling for Mr. Weiss, are you?”
Something tugged at Harmony’s heartstrings. She shook her head. “No, I’m not!”
“Don’t hide your thoughts from me. Tell me the truth. I’ll see if I can offer you some advice. Liking someone is not a crime. Saying it out loud won’t make us embarrassed, right?” Sera saw through her thoughts.
Indeed, Harmony had a lot on her mind, and Sera was the only one she could confide in. Sera genuinely cared for her.
Harmony was prompted as she pursed her lips and nodded at Sera. “Yes. I like him.”
Sera chuckled. “It’s hard for any woman not to like him. Even I like him!”
Harmony lifted her head and looked at Sera in shock. “Sera, you-”
“Don’t misunderstand me. I’m so much older than him. I like him, but I’m more of an old fan.” Sera laughed as she added.
“Sera, I don’t know what to do! I’m afraid to show my feelings in front of him and even more afraid of him finding out that I like him.”
“I understand. He’s too noble and perfect. You fear you’re not qualified to fall for him,” Sera said.
“Yes! That’s exactly how I feel. He’s right in front of me, yet I feel like he’s unreachable. I’m afraid of causing him trouble, disrupting his life, and even more afraid that I won’t see him again. I’ve never felt so inferior in front of someone.” Harmony’s expression turned desolate.
Sera looked at her with sympathy, walked over, and hugged her. “You’re outstanding too. Don’t belittle yourself. Just stay calm. If Mr. Weiss
likes you, he’ll definitely show it.”
Harmony sighed in relief. Speaking out indeed made her feel better. She nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
Around 10.00AM the next day, Harmony was preparing to go out to meet a director when her phone rang. She picked it up, and her heart raced-it was Ezekiel.
“Hello, Mr. Weiss.”
“Let’s have lunch together at noon.” Ezekiel invited her.
“At noon?”
“If you’re busy-”
“Not at all! I’m free,” Harmony replied hurriedly.
A low chuckle came from the other end. “Great!
I’ll come to pick you up at noon. Send me the address to your apartment.”
“Okay! I’ll be waiting for you.” As soon as she finished, she asked impulsively, “Mr. Weiss, would you be willing to have a meal at my place at noon? I’ll cook.”
Ezekiel surprisingly agreed. “That’s a good idea! I’ve grown tired of outside food. I’d like to taste your cooking.”
“Okay! I’ll go buy groceries. Is there anything specific you’d like to eat?”
“Just make something you’re good at. I’m not picky,” Ezekiel said.
“All right! See you later.” Harmony smiled. Her day had suddenly become very meaningful. After she hung up the phone, Sera, who was in front, asked, “Aren’t we going to meet Director Page?”
“Sera, I’ve invited Mr. Weiss to my place for lunch at noon. I won’t go meet Director Page. Can you help me cancel the appointment?”
