Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 279

That was when I gasped in shock as I started to see people standing up from their seat. A moment later, the sound of applaud erupted throughout the auditorium. It was the loudest round of applaud that I had ever heard in my life, and I couldn’t believe it at first that they were applauding our work.

If there was such a thing as a ‘dream come true’ moment, then I was pretty sure that that was it.

I had to admit that I was extremely worried if the commercial that we had made would be able to connect emotionally with the audiences. As my eyes adjusted a little to the bright light that now lit up the entire auditorium, I could tell from the faces of the audience that there was nothing for me to worry about anymore on that front.

We did it. We’ve connected it.

The story and the emotions that we wanted to portray, I believed that the audiences understood it and that they felt exactly what we wanted them to feel. The change that came about as time changes things. The bond between man and man’s best friend throughout their various stages of life. I felt tears sting the back of my eyes and I had to sniff a little to hold my tears back. My emotions threatened to overwhelm me, and I had to struggle to hold them all back. To say that I was proud of myself and what everyone had managed to achieve would be an utter understatement. So many emotions flooded my chest that I found it hard to breathe.

The rounds of applaud wouldn’t stop. Although we have just launched the commercial and we had no idea if we would be victorious in the competition or not, I was already satisfied with this first reaction that our work had received. Everyone only settled down again and sat down in their seats when Ace came up onto the stage again. He waved like a celebrity and smiled at everyone before he headed to the same place behind the podium.

This was going to be the most challenging part of the launch event and we had to place our trust in Ace to get through this. After watching the commercial, now was the audiences’ chance to ask Ace whatever question that they had. I was certain that Ace had anticipated their questions already and he must have prepared some answers. Either that, or he could be trusted to come up with some acceptable answer on the spot. With that thought in mind, I was very surprised at the first question that was hurled at him from the crowd.

“At your birthday party, you mentioned that you would be stepping down from your position as CEO, are you still planning to do that?” a middle-aged man asked loud and clear.

I gasped as my hand flew to cover my mouth to prevent unnecessary noises from escaping from my lips. It seemed like the press had other curiosities in mind that had nothing to do with the launch of our commercial or supporting the end of the dog meat trade. My lips went dry as I waited for Ace’s response. Ace didn’t seem shocked by the question at all and that probably meant that he had anticipated something like this to happen. He did mention that he would quit after the end of this competition so I guess it made sense that they were bringing up this issue now.
