The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594 Sweetheart Please Be Humble

Once the opening act ended, the pair of charismatic hosts walked up onto the stage and presented their opening speech, “Dear esteemed leaders and guests, we are honored to have you here with us today. Welcome to the award ceremony of International Elementary School...”

The moment the opening speech ended, the award ceremony began.

Firstly, the students who won third and second prizes were awarded by their homeroom teachers and vice-principal.

All of the students, who were being called onto the stage, were very excited.

International Elementary School was the most well-known school in Ackleton. The students who studied there hailed from rich and powerful families.

International Elementary School had better teaching resources, and even the teachers were more capable than the other schools. The students were bright as well. One could only imagine how hard it would be to stand out among the rest and be awarded in a school like that.

All the prizewinners were thrilled, and their parents were equally proud of their offspring.

Avery waited patiently for Rory to go onto the stage to receive her award. That was Rory's first award.

Once again, the female host spoke, “Next, we will give out the prizes for the first prize winners. If your name has been called, please come up to the stage. Rory Moore from first grade, class six...”

Rory, who had already changed into her school uniform, walked onto the stage.

She stood in the middle of the stage. That was her first time standing there alone with the hosts and looking down at the audience. She felt a little frightened. However, when she saw her mother, who was sitting in the third row, waving at her, Rory began to relax.

The male host then said, “Rory Moore's artwork, titled 'The Mermaid in the Maze,' has obtained first place in the art competition. Congratulations!”

Rory's artwork was carried up onto the stage by the female host.

Through the scanner, her artwork was being broadcasted onto the huge screen. The audience could see everything clearly.

The mermaid in the ocean looked very real, and the underwater palace also looked very majestic. It was as though the audience had been brought into the mysterious underwater world. As for the humans who were bombing the sea, they were equally well depicted.

Her artwork brought about the applause from the crowd.

“Rory's drawing portrays the conflict between humans and nature. Humans have been exploiting the ocean and causing large-scale pollution to the seas. The beautiful mermaid is hiding in the underwater palace, but her yearning for the ocean is evident. Even though she is in hiding, she cannot escape the noise pollution caused by human beings. All she can do is cover her ears. The sadness in her is clearly portrayed in her single drop of tears. The use of bright colors and the bold statement depicted in Rory's artwork give us an astounding visual effect. Next, we shall invite Mrs. Lambert to present Rory with her prize...”

Claire, who was dressed in a white gown, rose to her feet and walked onto the stage.

The audience could not help but secretly praise her for her well-maintained looks and elegant aura. Yet, there was an affinity about her that made people like her.

Claire bent down to take the trophy from the young host and handed it to Rory. “Congratulations on winning first place in the art competition. I wish you all the best and hope you can present us with better artwork in the future.”

“Thank you. I will continue to work harder,” said Rory sweetly while beaming at Claire.

The girl's adorable smile melted Claire's heart.

She could not help bending down to pat the girl on the head.

This little girl really reminds me of myself when I was young.
