Day Forty-Three…
~~*****~~
Amara could only watch Nadia's back as she walked away. She clicked her tongue while shaking her head.
"She is defending Richard. But deep inside, she is affected by Abigail Scarlett. She often loses her temper and composure whenever that woman is being mentioned!"
She just wanted to tease her but Nadia ended up losing her temper. She walked out without looking back.
Amara decided to enjoy the pastries as she waited for the program to start. Her eyes roamed around the venue, observing everyone. Guests were coming in. Some usherettes were guiding the guests to their respective tables.
The VIP guests had their special spots in front… near the stage.
Amara grabbed a glass of a lady's drink from the tray of the waiter. She was searching for her ultimate crush. However, he hadn't arrived yet. She could only see some actors and actresses including musicians. Those were the treasures of Star Corp Entertainment.
Star Corp Entertainment has one big rival. It was the Dream Star Knight Company. The artists she was seeing tonight were the famous ones who could compete against the stars of Dream Star Knight Company.
Amara was still surveying the people around her when suddenly her eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"OMG! He is here!" Amara shrieked in her spot, her eyes sparkling with joy and excitement. She finally saw her ultimate crush.
Without further ado, Amara finished her lady's drink in just one gulp and put her glass down. After that, she rushed to the entrance to greet Johnson, the heartthrob.
While she was on her way to meet her ultimate crush, she bumped into someone.
"Argh!"
Amara was pushed away from the impact and she was about to fall back but fortunately, someone grabbed her, supporting her waist.
When she gazed up, she met a pair of deep beautiful brown eyes. Amara's jaw dropped and she was baffled for a moment. She was mesmerized by the gorgeous man in his black suit.
Amara was starstruck by this handsome stranger. She wondered if he was a new artist of Star Corp. This was the first time she saw him so she was certain he didn't have many projects yet.
'A new guy, huh?! So damn Hot!' Her eyes scanned the man in a black suit from top to bottom and vice versa.
"Are you okay?" His deep baritone voice was also pleasant in her ears.
Amara could only bob her head in amusement. She lost the ability to speak.
The man finally let go of her since she already steadied her footing. The man didn't have any plan to prolong the conversation with her. After making sure that she wasn't hurt, the man excused himself and proceeded to the center.
Amara had already forgotten about her ultimate crush. Her attention was now focused on the guy who bumped into her. Just when she thought he was a new actor, Amara saw the guy being welcomed by the usherettes. They guided him to the VIP table.
'OMG! He is not an actor. He is a VIP guest! Gosh. I have to talk to Nadia's fiancé! I want to know the name of that gorgeous man!'
Meanwhile, clueless that someone was already eyeing him as prey, the man in a black suit was approached by Richard Chang.
"Mr. Alexander! I'm glad you made it tonight!" Richard offered him a handshake while greeting him politely.
This guy was a VIP guest. He already met Richard a few days ago. This man was the guy who invested one hundred million dollars in a project. He only asked for one condition– Abigail Scarlett should be in that project!
Alexander just gave Richard a faint smile.
"How was your trip? You came from Country J, am I right?" Richard was very attentive to his esteemed guest. Abigail badly needed a project right now for her comeback. Alexander was like an angel in disguise who would make things easier for Abigail's return.
A big project was now waiting for her. It was a new movie where Abigail would become the main lead.
"The whole journey is just fine. I'm excited to meet your talented artists. There are still vacant roles for the movie." Alexander responded in a friendly tone.
Richard could only bob his head. "I will introduce them to you later on."
"Okay. Mr. Chang, please don't forget about our deal." Alexander reminded him, giving him a meaningful look.
Richard could only smile while scratching his face. "Yeah. I know. Don't worry. I will not tell Abigail that you chose her personally to become the main lead of the movie. I will convince her that I was the one who took a great effort so that she could get the main lead role."
Alexander bobbed his head, smirking in satisfaction. Tonight, he would approach Abigail and introduce himself. He intentionally didn't show too much interest in her during their first encounter in front of Ethan's school. This would serve as a plain coincidence.
"Good. I'm looking forward to meeting her. Your Star of the Night."
Richard softly chuckled and said, "Shhhh. Others might hear you. They might think that I have favoritism."
Alexander shrugged his shoulders and patted Richard's back. "Haven't you?"
Richard let out a husky laugh. "Alright. Hmm. Come. I'll introduce you to my fiancé and her family."
Richard guided Alexander to the table where Nadia and her mother were sitting.
Richard was clueless that the man standing next to him was the Leader of a notorious mafia organization– The Red Dragon Mafia. He was known as the Dragon Lord.
Alexander secretly messaged Jack, asking for an update. The last message he received from Jack was that Abigail and her company were now on their way to the hotel.
Little did they know, another significant figure was attending tonight's Star Gala in secret. Nathan Sparks, along with his right-hand man Axel, was entering the venue. But they used an alternate door so that they couldn't attract people's attention. Nathan wanted to camouflage with the crowd to observe Abigail and Dave secretly. He would also watch how the Yan Family would react once they saw Abigail. He still suspected them to be involved in the foul play on Abigail's suicide attempt.
