Neil could not say a word. His lips moved, but he could not speak.
Aurelia was nervous that she was going onto the stage, but she was also excited. She looked into the mirror after putting the mask on. The event would start in ten minutes.
Cordelia sorted her hair while chuckling. “Don’t worry. You’ll be the last to go on stage. All you’ve got to do is to sit in the float.”
“Mm-hmm!”
“I want to be in the float too!” Neil said that out of nowhere.
Cordelia was stunned. She watched him take the bigger mask from the prop box and put it on his face.
“Stop it!” said Cordelia. “We didn’t arrange for a man to be in the float…”
“Won’t you have a man on it if I get on?”
“You…”
Getting onto the float was not what he wanted. He was just worried about the person on the float.
He must be wanting to block her so that people could not see her!
Neil stubbornly grabbed Aurelia with him.
Cordelia was drenched in a cold sweat as she stayed backstage.
The float came out slowly. A young lady with curly chestnut hair wearing a sparkly fairy-like dress sat on it. A majestic man stood next to her. He looked intimidating.
They were like a mid-century princess and her loyal knight from Eropah.
Meanwhile, they wore masks. They looked mysterious with the embroidery with a local touch at the bottom of the dress.
The segment was unexpectedly amazing. It stunned everyone. They complimented without holding back, bringing the event to a climax.
