The host, microphone in hand, stood on the ribbon-cutting stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, good morning! Today, we gather to witness an exciting moment. The grand opening of the Future flagship store is an event we have all eagerly awaited!"
A round of applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.
As the ribbon was cut, confetti cannons boomed, showering the air with colorful paper, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the host announced the official opening of the Future flagship store.
Suddenly,
the LED screen diagonally opposite them, lit up with the name "Camila."
Then, a message started scrolling across it, catching everyone's eye.
"I like you. Can you be my girlfriend? - Howard"
This message scrolled repeatedly, and the entire square saw the declaration on the big screen, causing a buzz of excitement.
People glanced around, searching for the 'lucky' heroine of this high-profile love display.
"How romantic!"
"Such a flashy display of romance!"
A colleague grabbed Camila's arm excitedly. "Camila, look!"
Following her colleague's gaze, Camila frowned deeply.
Howard approached her slowly with a bouquet of flowers, a confident smile on his face.
Connor also saw the scrolling message, his eyes darkening as he glanced at Howard.
His gaze was dark, like a bottomless cold pool, hiding turbulent emotions.
Howard stopped in front of Camila, his eyes gleaming. "Do you like it?"
