April also froze for a while, then crouched on the floor clutching her shoulders.
An actor standing next to her quickly took off his suit jacket and slipped it on over her, as the cameras around her went crazy.
-This was definitely intentional by April!
-Yes, this is too flashy!
-What a bold act!
April’s dress was completely inappropriate, and after making such a huge fool of herself, she had no shame to stand here. Her assistant rushed to get her off the premises.
Eric thought this should be Mr. Aguayo’s tactic, but he wasn’t finished yet.
Micaela also reacted. This scene, how similar to the accident that happened to her on the catwalk today!
She looked at Eric and asked incredulously:
-Mr. Eric, is that it?
-It’s true that she did what happened to you today, but about her, I don’t know,” Eric answered her.
Mr. Aguayo did not tell him not to tell her.
So, he let Micaela ask Mr. Aguayo himself.
Micaela repressed her doubts, she felt a look from her side, it was Dan.
He smiled and said:
-Look at those models and actresses, they are all shivering from the cold and they are enduring it. What you are wearing is very special.
Micaela smiled slightly and gave him a direct thank you.
Dan immediately pulled out his phone and said:
-I’ve helped you so much, how can one thank you be enough? You have to buy me a meal. Tell me your phone number.
Micaela froze for a second, she thought that this person must not have wanted her to invite him to dinner because he had helped her, he had other purposes, right?
She was about to speak when a reporter approached to do an interview.
The reporter first congratulated Micaela on the success of her fashion show today.
Micaela smiled and responded politely.
Then a reporter suddenly asked.
-Ms. Noboa, you are dressed so differently tonight, is it a deliberate attempt to get everyone’s attention?
Eric frowned, a question he had also considered.
Nor was it Micaela’s intention to draw attention to herself. But on this occasion, the more different she was, the more special she seemed.
There was no way Mr. Aguayo wasn’t thinking about that. Did he have some other purpose for doing it?
In the next second, Micaela unveiled the answer.
She looked at the camera with a smile and said:
-No, mainly my boyfriend is afraid that I’m cold, so he lets me wear this.
There were shouts of surprise from the audience.
She would probably be the first to openly announce that she had a boyfriend.
Eric was knowledgeable and admired both of them very much.
Mr. Aguayo was knowing that someone would ask him this, he just wanted Micaela to break the news that she had a boyfriend. Micaela was very cooperative.
“Mr. Aguayo, you really have a very strong possessive desire for Micaela!”
She supported Micaela in her modeling work and protected her to keep away men who had nasty thoughts about her.
The reporter didn’t expect her to answer like that, but it was certainly the best answer.
-Your boyfriend seems very much in love with you.
Micaela nodded.
Any more questions would be off topic, and the reporter left in disgust to ask the next one.
Upon entering the awards night venue, the organizers gave Micaela a seat in the second row, which was still a very good position.
Shortly after Micaela took her seat, Dan sat down next to her.
Eric thought this man was probably doing it on purpose, the person sitting next to Micaela right now was obviously someone else. He knew Micaela had a boyfriend, but he still wanted to move on!
The reporters present at the venue started photographing them again.
Eric had a feeling that tomorrow’s headlines would be about Dan’s obvious behavior toward Micaela.
Dan was venting his affection for Micaela, ignoring other actresses hitting on him, but being extra attentive to her. But Micaela couldn’t say anything too harsh because he had helped her today.
The last award of the night was Best Newcomer.
And the winner of the last award was Dan!
The whole room was in a frenzy.
Even he was a little surprised, yes he was nominated. But he really did a movie as a favor for a friend this year.
Eric watched him take the stage before expressing his surprise:
-Dear, yes you are a myth in Anlandana. Dan is a myth in Fracimon Nation.
Micaela wasn’t very interested in this, she just wanted to finish quickly….
-Here is a famous Anlandana model, Miss Noboa, presenting the award to Mr. Dan!
The applause was thunderous.
Micaela was taken aback and Eric was a bit flattered, reacting half-heartedly because he feared Dan had just asked for it on stage with the presenter.
“This kid, he really is very forward!”
Micaela could only take the stage disgruntled.
As was usual in previous awards, she also had to say a few words to the winner.
But Micaela knew absolutely nothing about this man! She didn’t even know what movies he had made!
Dan looked at Micaela with a playful look, the corners of his mouth curved in a wicked grin, and his blue eyes were filled with a seemingly mocking look.
Micaela said in standard French:
-Mr. Dan you are very kind and the award for best newcomer is well deserved. Congratulations.
And then he was handed the trophy.
The audience was stunned. This speech was… so personal….
Dan took the trophy with a smile and then opened his arms….
Eric was in doubt.
“What does this guy want?”
Although, it was very normal to hug, everything he did just now had been filmed by reporters. If he wanted to hug so blatantly, it would further confirm that he was interested in Micaela.
The more she squirmed, the more it looked like there was something between them. Then she stepped forward, gave him an arm. In less than two seconds, they parted and Micaela walked straight off the stage.
The audience became a little emotional again, but luckily the presenter was experienced and kept the scene steady.
Eric got even more antsy….
How am I going to face Mr. Aguayo when he comes back?
Once the party was over, Micaela and Eric left immediately. As they left, Micaela saw that Carlos had already been waiting for her. He was leaning against the car and smiling at her.
Micaela felt a little nervous, she didn’t know if her interaction with Dan had been seen by him. She was walking towards Carlos when her wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind?
It was Dan who seemed to have run off, but his tone was sincere:
-Micaela, I’m sorry, I may have made you uncomfortable a moment ago. I just wanted to get your attention. Also, have we met before? Your smell is very familiar to me.
