"Hahaha..."
The crowd below burst into roaring laughter, bright smiles lighting up their faces.
Girls really did have their priorities straight.
It was indeed a bit of a pity not to be wearing makeup on such a beautiful day.
But Emily's natural beauty easily held up, so it didn't really matter.
"You're not ugly. You're beautiful."
Kenneth was also highly amused by her. He gently pulled the girl into his arms, comforting her softly.
The audience below began to cheer, demanding that the couple share a kiss.
Not one to be shy, Kenneth leaned down, and the two shared an intimate, passionate kiss.
"They look so happy."
Shirley rested her chin in her hands, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the couple on stage, overflowing with envy.
"Don't worry."
Andrew took her hand, promising earnestly, "Shirley, wait for me for two years. Once I graduate and make my own money, I'll give you a perfect wedding too."
"Mhm."
Shirley's cheeks flushed pink as she nodded happily. "As long as I'm with you, I'm not worried about anything."
"..."
Charlotte sat off to the side, her arms crossed over her chest. Watching the incredibly sweet couples both on stage and beside her made her feel a sudden, hollow ache in her heart.
She pulled out her phone and sent a text to Anthony: [Your precious girl has been officially swept off her feet.]
It sent successfully, but after a long while, there was no reply.
Once Kenneth's proposal wrapped up, Charlotte couldn't sit still any longer. She told Shirley she was stepping out and left the venue early to get some fresh air.
The award ceremony was drawing to a close, and people were beginning to trickle out.
Charlotte pulled her cap down low, leaning against the wall with her eyes glued to her phone.
Given the time difference, it was night time in Cabinda.
Logically, Anthony should be at home.
Had things with The Blair Group still not been resolved?
