Chapter 1342 Vigilant Precautions
Those with knowledge were aware that this was unprecedented in Gerby. Even the smallest prizes were valuable, let alone the unique prize bracelet. Some couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Atlas is really wealthy, the prizes are so generous!"
"Well, of course, he's the richest man in the world!"
"Could it be true?"
"It should be! Otherwise, why would there be certificates?!"
The discussions below continued. For fairness, the lottery guests were all randomly selected from the audience.
At the moment of the draw, all eyes were on the hand pressing the button, knowing it held the key to luck. Many wished that hand were theirs.
As soon as the guest pressed the button, the numbers on the big screen instantly jumped and spun, with voices below shouting, "Stop!"
The guest pressed the button again with force, and ten sets of numbers appeared on the screen.
Immediately, there were screams of winners, disappointed sighs, and figures rushing eagerly towards the stage.
I felt the intensity of the atmosphere below as I stood in the Arkadia Plaza's office, peering through the tall French windows at the breathtaking view below.
I was transported here by Atlas during the draw, so I had no option. With so many people outside, the security risk was too high. He wouldn't relax for a moment.
Atlas walked over and gently hugged me from behind, softly saying in my ear, "Don't you want to rest for a bit? Hmm?"
I lazily snuggled into his embrace. Honestly, I felt like a queen high above, all thanks to the man tightly holding me from behind.
"Honey, look how lively it is down there!" I pointed excitedly at the scene below for him to see, then reminisced, "I remember, I participated in such a draw too!" "Oh? When was that?" he asked curiously.
"About... 6 years ago! It was when I was starting my business!" I was trying to remember the exact time and event.
"That long ago?" Atlas nipped my earlobe lightly, and I chuckled asd sidestepped his advances and took in his attractive face. In front of me, he was always gentle and loving.

"Yeah. But it was just a bicycle. At the time, I was hoping to win a bicycle. It would have made it much easier for me to get around!" I reminisced with a tipsy smile. "And then?" he asked softly.
"And then... hehe, but I wasn't that lucky. In the end, I bought a second-hand bike. It was so heavy, and riding it was incredibly tiring. You want to know what happened next?"
I turned to look at his incredibly handsome face.
I knew Beatrice was on stage with Finn during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which reassured me.
The cheers below surged higher and higher; a hundred units of third prizes were not a small number.
Atlas ushered me to the sofa and
turned on the large screen. I
observed the winners accepting their awards, their joyous
expressions spreading to everyone as they showed off their boundless happiness.
When they began preparing for the first prize draw, Atlas took my hand and walked outside.
