A Race to Melt Hearts

I take slow steps and walk towards the stage where he is mightily seated. His face is sour. He keeps on glancing at his phone and at his watch. Really impatient.

I steal everyone's gazes as I made it halfway. People are entranced by my late appearance. With the sudden silence and change of mood, he scan the crowd. Till his eyes land on me. He is put in a wicked daze too, but a handful number of gentlemen break the moment as they all move forward, walking up to me.

His eyebrows are knitted tightly when he witness what's happening. Then he hurriedly stand and move down from the stage. With mesmerising eyes and a smile that could cause downfall of cities, he met me halfway. Then he slowed his pace, so it's like we're in a slow motion episode, where the characters romantically reunite.

Guests from the event start murmuring.

"Who's that girl?"

"Why did CEO Yuan went to get her?"

"Who's that ugly b*tch!"

"Shut up, you're not half as pretty as her"

"She's a goddess"

"I should ask her hand for marriage"

"Wow"

"They look perfect together"

"Is she that girl from the news?"

"What's her background?"

Many are struck with curiousity, but Mr. Yuan held my gaze as he arrive in front of me. I thought he is going to kiss me, but he whisper things in my ears instead.

"You're late..."

"Shouldn't you be complimenting me instead?" I force a genuine smile, his eyes narrowed. Then he gently hold my waist and guide me through the way up.

We stand at the center of the stage, as he push some wine, and held another wine with his other hand. I accepted it, then his free hand found its way on my waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know all of you might have been shaken with the news that hit the number one's trending spot for the whole week. Tonight, I want to clarify things.

I, Yuan Jester Yan, the heir and CEO of Yuan Empire, hereby notify everyone of my engagement with this stunning beauty beside me. She's been my girlfriend for the last 3 years, and I know I haven't had the time to introduce her to my associates.

Let us all welcome, my beloved fiance and soon to be wife. The sole heiress of Ming Empire and the current CEO of Ming Group, Young Madame Ming Diana Sy!"

The crowd is shaken once again.
