Seeing everyone look at her with envy, Amanda laughed awkwardly. "Haha, I think it is just a coincidence."
"Do you know that the president does not like people who use underhanded means to get the resources?" Someone warned.
"I actually did not think that my dressing will clash with with the president's, maybe I should go and change." Amanda said, as she tried to stand up.
Some people thought that she just wanted to create hype using their president's name while others believed that it was just a coincidence.
"There is not need for you to change your clothes. If you change now, people will only think that you wanted to create hype. And since the president has already arrived, it will be even more rude for you to leave." Jacky said.
She had toiled in this industry for so many years and knew that Amanda was saying the truth. The reason she believed her was because Amanda was still considered a new comer, although rumours had it the president personally scouted her, she believed that they had no other relationship.
Alex took the microphone and went on stage.
"Attention guys, our esteemed president has arrived, as I told you, there will be a surprise tonight. Remember the cards you guys were given at the entrance, they have numbers on them, our president will be choosing one number randomly and whoever is chosen will have the chance of dancing with our president. It was given exclusively to girls." Alex said.
Everyone was surprised. A dance with the president, that was a dream of all the ladies in the room.
Whoever will be chosen, they were sure that her life in the entertainment industry will never be the same.
"What! I threw mine away because I did not understand why it was given in the first place. I thought that it was just some random pass to enter the room." One of the girls said with regret.
Those who had kept theirs started to search for them frantically.
Those who had thrown them away had regret written all over their faces. How they wished they could go and look for it. But they could not leave since the president was already here.
They could only swallow their bitterness and wait to see who the lucky girl was.
Soon the hotel staff brought a box that contained folded papers. Richard did not waste time as he dipped his hand in the box and made a random pick.
Alex looked on with a microphone in his hand. Richard had specifically told him that he must dance with Amanda, so all the papers only had one number on it but the people below the stage did not have to know about that as it will cause a blow to Amanda's reputation.
He took the paper from Richard's hands and unfolded it infront of everyone.
Every girl held their breathe, even Amanda could not help but become nervous. How she wished she will have a chance to dance with her man. This will be their first dance in public even though people still don't know about their relationship.
After opening the paper, he signaled the staff member to leave to avoid any suspicious incase the people requested for Richard to pick again.
"Our luck lady tonight is number..."
Alex deliberately paused and looked at the people below the stage. Everyone was really nervous, his gaze lingered on Amanda for seconds before he read out the number.
"29." Hearing the number, everyone hastily looked at theirs, but they were bound to be disappointed as they were not number 29. Even Jacky was disappointed since she had hoped that she will be chosen and dance with her dream man.
"Who is number 29?" Everyone turned to each other.
Amanda looked at her card and her heart raced. She could not help but glance at Richard. Richard smiled at her lightly without hiding the fact that he knew it was her number.
"Amanda it is you." Jacky, who was closest to Amanda saw her card and cried out in surprise. Everyone turned to look at her in surprise.
How was this girl so lucky, first she wears a matching outfit with the president, then she is the one chosen as his dance partner, can this be just a coincidence or is it a deliberate plan.
