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."
