My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 83

Standing on the podium, Amanda looked at the man who was beyond reach and smiled. These was the first time they were appearing in public together. Be it walking the red carpet or standing side by side with him, it gave her a new feeling.

The clip from her movie was playing. Even those who were nominated with her felt like she deserved it.

Her acting skills were top notch compared to there's and they felt like she was really a worthy opponent. 

"Let's have our special guest present the award to our best new comer of the year, Amanda Jackson." The host said, handing the present to Richard.

Richard took it and walked to stand close to Amanda.

Amanda suddenly felt neurotic for some unknown reasons. 

She did not know how to react when Richard handed her the award, how she wished to announce him to the world that he was hers.

"I believe that Amanda Jackson is someone with potential to grow. When I first signed her, everyone was doubtful of my decision, but seeing the potential in her, I could not let such a gem rot away in the entertainment industry. This girl was meant to shine and she surely will." Richard took the microphone from the host and said.

"I believe that as time goes by, Amanda will not only prove her worth, but she will also prove to everyone that I'm someone who has never made a wrong choice." Richard said.

His words carried a deeper meaning that only he, Amanda and a few people in the hall could understand. 

"Whoah, is the boss feeling proud and smug that he found himself a good wife?" Vivian whispered beside Linda's ear.

"Careful not to be heard!" Linda warned in a hushed voice although she too was feeling proud because of her artist.

She knew that after this gala, Amanda's fame will be over the roof, but what a pity, she will have to retreat from behind the scenes.

Vallery's eyes were burning with rage. If it was possible, Amanda's body would have already  been covered in holes from her gaze.

"What is sister trying to do? Is she trying to hook up with her boss? How lose could she be?" Vallery said to Jason.

She had noticed that ever since Amanda came, Jason's gaze had never left her. Sometimes, he did not even listen when she was talking to him.

"Which eyes of yours saw that Amanda is hooking up with her boss?" Jason asked.

"Can't you see that. They came in together. When have you ever seen Richard walk the red carpet with anyone? Did you see how gentle he was treating her?" Vallery asked.

"Stop you wild thoughts. I told you, Amanda is not someone you can afford to offend now, you better shut up and know your place." Jason said.

Vallery felt even more vexed when she heard that.

If she had a man like Richard, she will never be worried about anything. He owned an entertainment industry, all the best resources will go to her.

Vallery suddenly had a wild thought. She must hook up with this man.

....

On the stage, Amanda who had calmed herself down, had her face blushing again from Richard's words. 

Was this man meant to embarrass her tonight. Was he doing it on purpose? 

But to Richard, Amanda's blushing face was too cute that he just wanted to kiss her there and then. He was finding it hard to control his surging emotions.

After saying his words, with his last shred of self control, he handed the award to Amanda while shaking her hand.

"Congratulations... I knew you will one day make me proud." Richard said.

"Thank you."

They could not believe what they were hearing or seeing.

Amanda was actually confessing to Richard. 

Richard was her boyfriend. That was thunderous news. Tomorrow's news will be over the top.

Richard came to his senses after a long, long time. Amanda had even become nervous thinking that Richard did not want it. What will she do if he abandon her like everyone else.

Richard looked at her with heated gaze as if questioning her if she was sure.

Amanda nodded her head without a second thought.

She had noticed that many women were lusting after her man, she had to put a mark on her territory lest they think it had no owner.

Since they were standing close to each other, Richard extended his long arm and with a swoop, Amanda was caged in his arms.

He was very gently as not to hurt the baby.

He took that present and the microphone from her hands and handed it over to the host, who was standing stunned like he had no life in him.

Then without further ado, Richard landed a hot kiss on Amanda's lips.

He had dreamt of this moment several times. The day he will get to kiss his woman in public. Since his dream had come true, he seized the chance to pour all his emotions in the kiss.

Everything came to a stand still as Richard and Amanda kissed on the podium. They were too good looking and perfect together that there was nothing to nitpick about them.

The cameras were zoomed in and even those watching online were shocked. Everyone had turned into pillars of salt.
