Amidst a deafening roar and screams, Selena lifted her face and fixed her gaze on Ghost's eerie and otherworldly gaze, motionless.
The man looked down at her from a high position, with a cold and silent gaze, but she felt no pressure at all.
Selena gave a slight blink with her eyes.
For a long time, Ghost bent slightly and stretched out his hand.
Ultimately, he couldn't bear to part with it, as any expression of disappointment was revealed on that beautiful face.
It is even more intolerable to see others showing disdain and making derogatory remarks towards her because of her rejection.
Selena looked at the hand that stretched out in front of her, a slender and fair hand with fingertips emitting a strange scent.
Her clear eyes flickered secretly.
Osvaldo is in black and white.
Ghost is in black and white.
Osvaldo has beautiful hands.
Ghost has beautiful hands too.
Selena gently placed the brightly colored and passionate perfume bottle into the open palm of Ghost's hand.
Two hands of two people are linked together by a small bottle of perfume.
The fiery red perfume flowed in the pale hands of the man, emitting a dazzling color that could almost burn people. Even the man's fingertips seemed to be reflected with an illusionary joy and heat.
At this moment, the screams from the audience almost broke through the sky.
"Ahahah! Can't take it anymore! Too tempting!"
"Even though it's a completely innocent picture, why do I feel my heart racing and having shortness of breath while looking at it?"
"Mom... I feel like I want to fall in love, what's happening to me?"
After sending out the perfume, Selena smiled at Ghost and turned around to face the audience while being stared at by the man intently.
She smiled and said, "I have a boyfriend."
The screams that were soaring on the scene seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and suddenly came to an abrupt end.
In the silence, Selena tilted her head and said with a smile, "Mr. Ghost is handsome and good-looking, but in my heart..."
She had a sweet smile on her face and said, "My boyfriend is the best-looking."
After a moment's deliberation, he added, "Gentle and handsome, unrivaled in the world."
After finishing the speech, she walked down the platform while countless people watched her on the scene.
She didn't see it, but the man behind her, when he heard these words, his silent and icy gaze suddenly burned intensely.
If the gaze could be tangible, it would surely be clawing at her right now, wrapping around her whole being and pulling her tightly into its grasp.
Leia saw Selena approaching and bounced up to meet her, her steps much more cheerful than before.
Leia raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Lady Selena!"
Selena smiled and said, "Done, let's go back."
Leia guarded her and they walked towards the entrance of the art gallery.
Leah, Dominic and Angie stood in the corner below the dais and witnessed the entire process from start to finish.
Leah watched Selena's brilliant appearance, clenching her fists while her eyes turned red with jealousy.
Angie stomped her feet in anger and cursed out loudly, "Shameless! You've already stooped so low as to approach Mr. Ghost, and yet you say you didn't seduce the judges?"
Dominic looked at Selena with a somewhat absent-minded gaze.
He remembered the past decade or so, during which Selena had also followed him like a moth to a flame, ignoring everything else in her pursuit of his affection.
This woman's emotions were so vivid and decisive that they resembled a complete rupture.
When she likes someone, give it her all and love with all her heart and soul.
When she doesn't like someone, it is once again a rift and cruelty.
Dominic looked at Selena's back and felt a sour and melancholic feeling surging up in his heart, his eyes were mixed with a trace of confusion.
Once upon a time, this pure and innocent emotion belonged to him.
But it was destroyed by him single-handedly, lost, until it was completely gone.
Now, Selena doesn't like him anymore.
She treated him even worse than a stranger.
If he had been a little bit nicer to Selena back then, would this affection still belong to him now?
Will this girl still love him with all her heart and soul, and give her all to him like she did before?
A surge of sourness and regret welled up from the bottom of Dominic's heart, almost drowning him completely.
He turned to Leah in order to disguise the panic and said firmly, "It's alright, Leah. Once the awards ceremony begins tomorrow and you win the championship, those voices that are criticizing you will disappear!"
Leah looked at Dominic and easily saw the sadness and regret on his face.
Do you regret giving up Selena and choosing her?
Leah felt a strong resentment and jealousy in her heart, and she looked at Dominic with a pale smile. "Do you even know what you're saying, Dominic?"
He is not comforting her.
He is just comforting himself.
He is desperately trying to find excuses, reasons, and places where Leah is better than Selena, in order to prove that his choice was not wrong.
He wouldn't regret choosing Leah over Selena.
In fact, from the moment he spoke these words, it signifies that he has already regretted.
No--
Or even earlier, Dominic started regretting from the moment Selena called off their engagement.
He just doesn't want to admit it.
Leah gave a bitter smile, pushed away Dominic's hand, turned around, and walked out.
Dominic watched her back as she walked away, wanting to reach out and grab her, but in the end, he didn't know what to say.
Angie watched Dominic's expression, feeling both angry and jealous. "Brother, why are you still thinking about that little bitch Selena even now?"
She didn't finish her words when Dominic slapped her heavily in the face.
Angie was stunned by the blow.
Dominic used to love her the most and couldn't even bring himself to say anything harsh to her, but for Selena, he has already hit her twice.
Angie screamed in anger, and tears instantly fell down her face. She was about to accuse Dominic, but as soon as she met his eyes, her expression froze in place.
Dominic looked at her with eyes filled with resentment, even he himself was unaware of it.
He stared at Angie firmly and spoke slowly, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have lost her..."
If it weren't for Angie's malicious instigation and her constant bullying of Selena, as well as her tendency to play the victim, he wouldn't have wrongly blamed Selena for many things and wouldn't have treated her badly.
Selena may not grow tired of him and leave him.
Angie was stunned.
She stared at Dominic dumbfounded, unable to believe that he would not only hit her for Selena's sake but also hold a grudge against her, his own sister.
After realizing what happened, she cried and wanted to make a scene. Dominic said coldly, "Go ahead and make a scene, but as soon as you're done, you better leave!"
After speaking, he turned around and went to chase Leah.
Stayed behind, Angie stood still, feeling both angry and extremely wronged. She stared daggers at Selena's departing figure, with a thick layer of resentment in her eyes.
