Chapter 46 - Im Doomed! (2/2)

It took him a few seconds before he replied again.

”Are you texting me as a way to jot down your notes?”

”Ha-ha-ha! It seems I'm busted.” I found myself chuckling like an idiot.

As I was about to send my next reply, I heard my name called out to stage. Oh shoot! I hadn't prepared any speech!

”... Our Rookie award goes to… Ms. Senara Lee!” was the only part I heard from the emcee. I wasn't listening anymore because I was texting Kai. Waaah… I'm so doomed. What if they said something important?

Thankfully, someone ushered me to the stage while the spotlight followed me. I was so nervous that I felt my palms sweat up a bit and my heart wouldn't stop thumping loud in my chest. I tried my best to smile at least, trying to hide the butterflies in my stomach.

On the stage, all the VIPs were lined up. Most of them, I wasn't familiar with, except for Mr. Purple Eyes. I walked up slowly, careful not to stumble since my shoes still had a bit of heels on it. The emcees, who were a pair of a beautiful middle-aged woman, and another good looking guy, gestured to me to go towards the center. I followed them and I felt that the other VIPs did the same. I looked to my right and someone was giving them a crystal plaque. One of the older men took it. Then, we lined up across the stage for picture taking followed by hand shakes. Last on the line were the gorgeous twins. The young lady smiled at me and took my hand. And as for the young master, I wasn't sure if I should even offer my hand.

I hesitated while bowing my head. I didn't have the courage to look him up close nor shake his hands. I was reminded of the things Ms. Qian Yu warned us about.

”NEVER ever touch them… especially the young master.”

Her words echoed in my head. But then I thought, it would be completely rude if I didn't even offer my hand. I should just let him ignore me, right? That's better than me being rude to him.

Finally deciding to offer my hand for a shake, I walked a bit closer to him, and smiled.

”Thank you very much,” I murmured as I offered my hand.

Suddenly, I felt something weird wrapped around the ankles of my left foot! I jolted and because of that, lost my balance and -

THUMP!

”Ahhh!” I could hear the crowd gasping in shock.

F*ck! Now, I've done it! And just when we were warned about it!

I… Senara Lee… would probably be ending my writing career as soon as I start it!

Why?

Because I slipped and fell at the arms of the grumpiest person in the world!

My face was on his chest! And both my hands held unto his arms with my weight pressing on him.

Damn it! What should I do? I felt tears formed in the corners of my eyes as my hands trembled in fear. I'm doomed!
