At this moment, Harmony sat in the car with Ezekiel’s suit jacket draped over her. Her head was still buzzing, but she felt relieved that she had turned around in time to cover her chest. Ezekiel promptly offered his suit, saving her from embarrassment.
Ezekiel stood outside the car, making a phone call. He was clearly even more furious, determined to eliminate this brand from the market.
His subordinates also sensed his rage and were prepared to take immediate action. Just then, Harmony’s phone rang. Despite seeing that it was an unknown number, she still answered it. “Hello! Who is this?”
“Miss Mayo, it’s me, Mindy Sharp. I’m so sorry. I apologize for my actions today.” Mindy could no longer maintain her vice president demeanor and was apologizing deferentially on the other end.
However, Harmony didn’t want to hear an apology, nor did she have a positive impression of Mindy.
“Miss Sharp, you don’t need to apologize to me, and I won’t accept it.”
“Miss Mayo, how about this? I will compensate you. Will that satisfy your anger? Can we resolve this matter privately?” Mindy suggested, not wanting to escalate the matter to higher authorities.
“No need. My lawyer will contact you,” Harmony said and hung up the phone.
She then went online to check the posts. Sure enough, some reporters had captured some side shots of her. Although her front outfit was not clear, her panicked look had attracted the attention of her fans, and there were some malicious comments below.
‘If you dare to wear such revealing clothes, why are you so scared of letting people see it? What, are we unworthy?’
‘Surely she hasn’t dressed up like this for us to see. I bet it’s a free show for the top executives. Seeing these comments, Harmony was genuinely upset.
‘What a diva! I can’t believe she left just like that! Isn’t she paid to advertise? She’s breaching the contract!’
Harmony decided not to read the comments anymore. At the same time, Ezekiel opened the car door and sat in. Seeing Harmony’s hair a bit ruffled, he reached out and gently tidied it for her. “Next time something like this happens, just tell me and let me handle it. Don’t let people bully you.”
Touched, Harmony nodded. “Got it.”
Ezekiel tenderly held her in his arms and ordered his bodyguard to drive them back to the hotel so Harmony could rest.
Initially, she had been livid, but Ezekiel’s embrace soothed her, and she started thinking it wasn’t worth being angry.
This was a domestic brand, and at this moment, their CEO had just received a lawyer’s letter. His entire company had been sued, and it came with a mandatory acquisition contract.
The CEO was shocked. He couldn’t fathom how misfortune found its way to him when he had only been having a meeting in his company. Poor CEO.
Immediately, he phoned his assistant, ordering, “Go and find out what happened.”
Fortunately, the matter was quickly clarified. After hearing the report, the CEO, Clayton Yildiz, was once again shocked. It turned out that he was being sued by an artist’s boyfriend.
Of course, he wouldn’t panic if the lawsuit came from an ordinary artist’s boyfriend. The problem was that this artist’s boyfriend was an international billionaire!
“What the hell is Mindy doing? Isn’t she hosting the brand promotion? What did she do to make the other party sue our company as well?!” Clayton exclaimed. “Summon her back!”
Mindy soon returned to the company headquarters, and upon seeing her furious boss, she became guilt-ridden.
“Explain what happened!”
Mindy had to tell the truth. “I’m sorry, Mr. Yildiz, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have forced this female artist to wear this outfit, making her storm away in anger.”
Clayton didn’t quite believe her one-sided words, so he called all the staff who had served Harmony earlier for questioning. Afraid of bearing the responsibility, they related the whole event, not daring to hide any details.
The staff member who had pulled Harmony’s pin also revealed the order Mindy had given her. By the end of it, Clayton quickly deduced that it was all Mindy’s fault. Not only did she offend the artist, but she also got his company sued.
