Seeing the two people in fifth place on stage, Aimee, who had already started to drift off to sleep for a while, finally came to some spirit and sat up straighter, "Damn, finally it's almost our turn, if not us, I'm going to fall asleep, those people's speeches before are really long and non-nutritious, if not for so many media cameras, I will just fall asleep."
Violet covered her lips and yawned slightly, "It's a bit boring, not to mention you, I'm exhausted."
"Right, Violet, is Mr. Murphy still not here?" Aimee took out a bottle of refreshing mint perfume from her bag, sprayed it twice on her wrist, and then put it to her nose and sniffed it.
With the cool mint fragrance to refresh her mind, Aimee then felt the drowsiness in her head completely dissipate and her whole body was completely awake.
She then handed the perfume over to Violet, "Violet, do you want some?"
"Sure." Violet took the perfume and sprayed herself twice as well, then closed the lid before she replied, "He's not here yet, I'll ask."
After returning the perfume to Aimee, Violet took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Stanley.
About two minutes later, Stanley's message replied.
Seeing the message, Violet smiled, "He's already on his way, probably about ten minutes away."
Aimee bristled, "He's not afraid to miss it out."
"He won't." Violet smiled and shook her head, "Our award ceremony had a full live broadcast, Stanley has been following it, he won't miss it."
"That's more like it." Aimee nodded.
Violet got up, "I'm going to the bathroom, are you going?"
"No." Aimee waved her hand, "I haven't drunk any water."
Her words were so direct and vulgar that it made Violet feel funny, "Okay, then you wait for me here, I'll be back later."
"Go on." Aimee nodded.
Violet smiled and walked out of the award hall and went to the bathroom.
She thought that with so many people coming today, the washroom would probably be crowded, however, when Violet arrived at the washroom, she realised that it was empty and clean, as if someone had specially driven people away, bizarrely.
But Violet didn't think much of it and just took it as a coincidence before walking into the cubicle.
At the moment she had just entered the cubicle, outside the original women's washroom, several people suddenly stepped out and then stood on either side of the women's washroom, like doormen, holding the door to the women's washroom under guard.
There were people who came to the toilet, but when they saw this, they immediately ran away, not daring to go.
In fact, even if they had gone, they would have been driven away by these people.
After the men had secured the bathroom door, another footstep sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a man in a black suit appeared outside the women's washroom.
The men guarding the washroom, seeing this man, immediately nodded their heads in respectful greeting.
He just gave them a slight wave of his hand and then walked into the ladies' bathroom.
In the washroom, Violet had finished using the toilet and was touching up her make-up at the sink.
When she heard footsteps coming from behind her, she didn't turn to look, just assumed it was from the bathroom.
It was only when she was applying lipstick that a man was suddenly reflected in the mirror, and she jerked her hand to a halt and looked at the man in the mirror with wide eyes in disbelief.
Ivan?
How could it be Ivan?
Violet was shocked, then jerked her head across and looked behind her.
Ivan was really standing there, his hands in his trouser pockets, his thin lips slightly hooked, and was smiling at her, "Violet, it's been a long time, you're getting more and more beautiful."
Ivan's voice was low in praise.
Violet's brow was furrowed tightly, her lipstick was held tightly, her heart was beating fast, full of trepidation and anxiety.
