novelxo Chapter 103
Lysander's buddy elbowed him with a nudge and whispered, "Here comes my goddess."
Arabella overheard and if it wasn't for the cameras, her face would've turned sour enough to make someone think she was ready to commit murder.
Lysander frowned a bit too. He had mixed feelings about Miranda being so popular.
"Alright, for our final mystery guest!" the host's voice was electric, pulling everyone's attention to the stage. Even the celebrities on stage were piqued with curiosity.
"Mystery guest? Never heard of one before!"
"A mystery guest?? How mysterious are we talking here??"
"Who could it be? Not a peep about this!"
Miranda's interest was also piqued. She thought there were only two guests. Was there another one? "And that is - President of the Everhart Group, Mr. Everhart! Let's give a warm welcome to Mr. Everhart!" The host was practically buzzing with excitement. Miranda raised an eyebrow.
Sebastian, clad in a crisp white suit, gracefully made his way towards Miranda, led by the deferential staff. From the moment he appeared, his gaze was magnetically drawn to Miranda, a subtle smile playing at his lips.
Today, Sebastian wore frameless glasses, adding an air of sophisticated restraint to his already elegant demeanor. His every move exuded grace and charm, his handsome features only enhanced by his exceptional aura.
Sebastian's entrance sent the online viewers into a frenzy.
"Sebastian!! My internet husband!"
"OMG, OMG, OMG, the producers actually got Sebastian!"
"I'm going to faint at my husband's feet!"
"Too handsome, he just outshone all the male stars here!"
Sebastian approached and greeted Miranda with a smile before casually taking the seat next to her, leaving the staff momentarily stunned.
They had initially planned for Mr.
Everhart to sit on the other side. They were concerned about people shipping Mr. Everhart and Miranda, or any uncontrollable rumor arising.
After all, Mr. Everhart had a known distaste for such gossip.
To everyone's surprise, Mr. Everhart decided to sit right next to Ms. Miranda Hawk??? The staff were baffled, but the online audience wasn't in the know, assuming it was all planned.
As Sebastian settled in, he softly said with a familiar smile, "Surprised?"
Miranda replied, "Not really."
Then she joked, "What, are you out here trying to make a buck too?"
Sebastian's eyes twinkled with amusement. "If you can, Ms. Hawk, why can't I?"
Their conversation wasn't loud, but it was perfectly captured by the live broadcast. Both weren't used to being recorded with mics, so they forgot about it entirely.
Hence, not only did everyone present hear them, but so did the online audience.
"What's the deal with Mr. Everhart and Miranda? They seem awfully familiar!"
"Their banter is so shippable!! I'm living for this!"
"Where's the morality? Where's the line? And more importantly, where's the ship name?"
"Clearly, Miranda's just that charming, even Mr. Everhart seems to think so. I've never seen him appear with any other woman."
Arabella was initially thrilled at the sight of Sebastian. She already had a crush on him and was thinking about ditching Theo to pursue Sebastian.
But she couldn't get Sebastian's
contact info, nor could she run into him by chance. After their last
encounter at the shooting range, her admiration for Sebastian only deepened.
