in the auditorium, the students who were about to perform were busy preparing.
Anna asked, “Shirley, does this dress look good on me?”
Shirley took a look and said, “It suits you perfectly, Anna; you look great in anything!”
Anna chuckled and said, “Not as pretty as you, the beauty of Betrico University!”
The two praised each other and exchanged smiles,
Speaking right was Anna, Shirley’s classmate, one of her supporters, and the niece of Mrs. Chambers, Jemma.
“You all look wonderful,” a gentle voice chimed in.
“Jemma” “Jemma, what brings you here?” Shirley and Anna exclaimed together.
Jeffrey walked up from behind and said, “Just came to see you all You look great, and I’ll make sure to get some nice pictures of your performance later. Both of them blushed and smiled shyly.
Anna said with innocence, “Hey, I heard Melissa is here. Too bad couldn’t go cheer for her on the red carpet because I was doing my makeup
“But she has so many fans, she probably won’t miss one more.”
Jemma gave a doting smile, and then looked at Shirley and asked, “Shirley, I think I heard your mom mention that Cherise would be here. Why haven’t I seen her yet?”
Worried, Shirley responded, “Hasn’t Cherise arrived yet? I’ve been busy preparing for my piano performance, so I didn’t
notice.
“The invitation was sent to her, but I’m not sure if she’ll come, considering this is Clusia’s top school.
“And what if she comes and gets lost? Cherise has never attended university, let alone been to Betrico University. What if she gets lost later?”
Jeffrey looked at Shirley with concern for Cherise and felt a bit tender, “Shirley, don’t worry too much. Cherise is an adult; she can ask for directions if she needs to. Just focus on getting ready to shine on stage!” Anna agreed, “That’s right, Shirley. Don’t let your ill-mannered sister affect your performance. We have some important guests in the audience, so let’s make sure to leave a good impression
Jemma and Jeffrey nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps and screams could be beard, as performers backstage craned their necks to see what was going on.
“Oh wow, guys, it’s really Mr. Chivers! How can
n someone
be that handsome?”
“Oh my god, oh my god, he’s actually here! I thought the forum posts were exaggerating, but he’s truly stunning!”
“Help! I’m swooting from how handsome he is. Forget Mark and Zander; they’re nothing compared to him. Someone come support me, please!” “You guys, look over there. Are those his assistants? They look so similar and they’re really handsome. I’m in love!”
“Mr. Chivers just shook hands with that old gentleman over there Does anyone know who he is!”

Someone nearby said, “How can you not know who he is? And you got into Betrico University? That’s Marlon, the master of national studies.” “And look, to Marlon’s right, it’s that astronaut Mike who just returned from space. Now that’s a real hero! I’ve seen so many impressive people today.” Everyone was talking, with all sorts of opinions.
Jeffrey felt irritated the moment he heard someone praising another guy nearby.
He glanced back at Shirley and Anna to see them craning their necks, trying to see something. Feeling even more irritated, he called out, “Shirley!”
Shirley was lost in thoughts about Morris’s stunning looks, and Jeffrey’s sudden call startled her. “Oh my, Jeffrey! Why are you shouting so loud? You nearly scared me to death!”
“What were you just thinking about?” Jeffrey asked, sounding a bit annoyed.
Shirley snapped back to reality and quickly said, “I was wondering where Cherise went. I’m worried she might get lost.” Hearing this, Jeffrey felt a bit relieved. Seeing that the ceremony was about to start, he led Jemma outside. As soon as Jeffrey left, Shirley quickly peeked through the gap in the curtain to look outside. She thought, ‘How can he possibly look like that?”
She always thought Jeffrey was the most handsome guy she’d ever seen, but Morris was even more so.
Morris was wearing a very expensive tailor-made black suit, with features so perfect they were almost unbelievable, looking cool and classy.
Sitting gracefully in the middle of the front row below the stage; his entire presence exuded a regal air, charming and attention-grabbing.
Similarly, when Morris entered, someone who had been watching him intently was Melissa, seated in the third row. This was Morris akin to a god who enchanted her heart and made her fall for him repeatedly.
The next moment, the host’s voice echoed, “Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, the event is about to begin.” Trent glanced at his watch, then looked outside the door before returning to his seat, deep in thought.
