At that moment Chloe couldn't move. She couldn't even blink.
She stood there like a statue. Not a word came out of her mouth. Her hands stayed frozen beside her body.
Victoria too didn't say anything. She didn't even dare to look up.
The whole place was quiet for a moment, like everyone was still trying to understand what they had just seen.
Valentina stood still, her eyes on the golden card in her hand. It felt unreal. So many people bowing. So much respect. And all for her.
She looked around slowly. Everyone was watching.
She could already hear the whispers in her head, "Did you see that?" "Who is she really?" "Where did she come from?"
Without bring told she could tell her name was going to be everywhere now. The blogs. The videos. The pictures.
She didn't want that. She didn't like too much noise.
So, quietly, she turned to Raymond and whispered, "Let's go."
Immediately Raymond nodded, his smile calm.
