However, little did she knew, love was supposed to equal and uplifting; it doesn’t need anyone to discard their pride and self-efface for the sake of the other person. And if that happened, most probably it isn’t love.
In a short moment, the party will begin. Thus the crowd gathered together.
A jovial host walked up the stage and lifted the atmosphere. After that it should be Mu’s turn to give a speech. However since Mu was not there, he just skipped his turn and invited Annabelle up.
Annabelle had prepared herself downstage. The moment her name was called, she walked up gracefully.
As she stood on the stage, her elegance and stupendous appearance impressed the crowd. The men were secretly admiring her and women aspired to be her.
The hall settled in silence and waited for her.
“Good evening, I am Annabelle, the representative designer from Yun Rui. First of all, let me thank you all for coming of behalf of our company!”
Annabelle talked and smiled pleasantly. She wanted to drag it a little until Mu appears. However, after the round of applause subsided, he was still nowhere to be seen. And thus she continued.
“I was actually surprised to have won this prize and there’s nothing much to say.
I just wanted to give thanks to my mentors, my company and my boss. I am thankful that they gave me such an opportunity!”
For the crowd, it didn’t even matter what she said. Her beauty alone had captured their heart…
Ralphy was there too. He sipped on his wine and was fixated on Annabelle. A faint smile was on his face…
Meantime, two people who came late entered the hall…
The moment the woman saw who was giving a speech, she was baffled, “Isnt that Annabelle?”
A slow realization seeped in and she yanked the arm of her partner, “Teneria, are my eyes playing tricks? That is Annabelle right!?”
The couple was Annabelle’s parents. Her father, Teneria Xia and her mother, Waynie Xu.
