Chapter 1342 Vignt Precautions
?
Those with knowledge were aware that this was unprecedented in Gerby. Even the smallest prizes were valuable, let alone the unique prize bracelet. Some couldn''t help but exim, "Mr. As is really wealthy, the prizes are so generous!"
"Well, of course, he''s the richest man in the world!"
"Could it be true?"
"It should be! Otherwise, why would there be certificates?!"
The discussions below continued. For fairness, the lottery guests were all randomly selected from the audience.
At the moment of the draw, all eyes were on the hand pressing the button, knowing it held the key to luck. Many wished that hand were theirs.
As soon as the guest pressed the button, the numbers on the big screen instantly jumped and spun, with voices below shouting, "Stop!"
The guest pressed the button again with force, and ten sets of numbers appeared on the screen.
Immediately, there were screams of winners, disappointed sighs, and figures rushing eagerly towards the stage.
I felt the intensity of the atmosphere below as I stood in the Arkadia za''s office, peering through the tall French windows at the breathtaking view below.
I was transported here by As during the draw, so I had no option. With so many people outside, the security risk was too high. He wouldn''t rx for a moment.
As walked over and gently hugged me from behind, softly saying in my ear, "Don''t you want to rest for a bit? Hmm?"
Izily snuggled into his embrace. Honestly, I felt like a queen high above, all thanks to the man tightly holding me from behind.
"Honey, look how lively it is down there!" I pointed excitedly at the scene below for him to see, then reminisced, "I remember, I participated in such a draw too!"
"Oh? When was that?" he asked curiously.
"About... 6 years ago! It was when I was starting my business!" I was trying to remember the exact time and event.
"That long ago?" As nipped my earlobe lightly, and I chuckled asd sidestepped his advances and took in his attractive face. In front of me, he was always gentle and loving.
"Yeah. But it was just a bicycle. At the time, I was hoping to win a bicycle. It would have made it much easier for me to get around!" I reminisced with a tipsy smile.
"And then?" he asked softly.
"And then... hehe, but I wasn''t that lucky. In the end, I bought a second-hand bike. It was so heavy, and riding it was incredibly tiring. You want to know what happened next?"
I turned to look at his incredibly handsome face.
As kissed me and said, "What happened?"
I giggled, "Well, it ended up being just that bike. It was even stolenter. I was so heartbroken at the time. Matthewforted me, you
saying, Just let it go! Pretend never bought it!'' After all, riding it was exhausting, and my legs were sore all day."
As''s eyes were filled with tenderness and a hint of heartache as he looked at me, "There won''t be days like that in the future. Don''t worry."
I turned to face him again and gave him a quick kiss before slipping away, but he insisted on getting more into the kiss. However, he was drawn out by the cheers below.
"I want to go down and experience it!" I said to As.
"There are too many people outside; just watch from here. I''ll take you down when it''s time for the prize draw." He coaxed me, afraid I would object.
I knew very well that he would let me go if I insisted a little longer. I understood that As feared protecting me with so many people around wouldn''t be easy.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
"What about Ivanna and the others?" I asked him.
"Don''t worry. She''s with Jared visiting the mall." As said, "And Beatrice is also there."
I knew Beatrice was on stage with Finn during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which reassured me.
The cheers below surged higher and higher; a hundred units of third prizes were not a small number.
As ushered me to the sofa and
turned on therge screen. I
observed the winners epting their awards, their joyous
l
expressions spreading to everyone as they showed off their boundless happiness.
When they began preparing for the first prize draw, As took my hand and walked outside.
