Leaving the parents who had been in a dispute, now Devano was on the third floor waiting for the arrival of Austin who had just informed him that his cousin would soon go down. Freya finds Licia on the balcony on the fourth floor.
"Jeez, Licia, I've been looking for you ever since, you're here." Freya rushed over to Licia. He had circled all the rooms in the building to look for the whereabouts of his good friend, who turned out to be on the balcony.
Licia did not say, there were lines of wrinkles on her lips and the tension on her pretty face. It certainly made Freya link her eyebrows together.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why is your face a little pale?" Suddenly Freya became panicked, then she tried to check the temperature of Licia's body by touching her friend's forehead. "Why cold?" tanyanya. He had thought if Licia was not healthy, but the body temperature was not hot and even felt cold in the palm of his hand.
"I-I'm so nervous, Frey." Finally Licia let out a voice, though it sounded a little quivering.
"You nervous?" Freya could hardly believe it. Lia was never like this. Even during the thesis trial and getting a fairly killer lecturer, the girl did not feel nervous.
Licia nodded slowly. "Okay, I don't understand either."
Freya was silent for a moment, then clasped both hands of Licia. "Take a deep breath and take it out slowly."
The girl then follows Freya's instructions. Breathe in deeply and throw it away slowly. Although the nervousness has not disappeared completely, it is enough to make it a little calmer.
"I've been feeling better. We better get downstairs. You're looking for me because the show's about to start, aren't you?" said Licia who understood why her friend was looking for her. Then pull Freya's hand to follow her steps.
"Right, I'm looking for you here and there. Therefore, now my legs feel a little sore," the great-grandson Freya complained on the sidelines of their walk. Currently he is using high heels, so that makes his legs feel cramped.
"Yes. yeah, I'm sorry." Freya was lazy to respond, but she still expressed an apology. Because it did not mean to make Freya look for herself here and there. He just wanted to breathe fresh air to get rid of his nervousness.
On the other side, Devano found Austin coming down the stairs. He who waited by leaning his back against the wall immediately straightened his body again.
"You look like the groom, As." Devano. Because the appearance of Austin is like a groom wearing a tuxedo complete with a bow tie.
Austin clicked a smile. Devano did not say that wrong, because he was like a groom. But he had rather ignored his cousin's taunts.
"I'm getting good-looking, aren't I?" And what he asked was his good looks. Austin confirmed the suit he was wearing.
Devano clucked lazily, but seconds later nodded. "You're always good-looking" he said. "Of course, the show is about to start. Licia must have been waiting."
"All right."
And the two went down the elevator to the ballroom. To reach the ballroom, Austin had to descend the stairs as previously specified. As the main exhibition, Austin and Licia did have to go down the stairs together.
There was the sound of a male MC announcing if the event was about to start. Just contact the invited guests are welcome to sit in their respective places that have been previously determined. The front desk is reserved for families and the next table for invited guests who have close ties with the Romanov Family and the Scott Family.
Devano and Freya immediately got out of there and crossed another staircase to reach the ballroom immediately. Because the center of attention of the family and all the invited guests are fixed on two stairs that will show a pair of lovers who go down the stairs differently, but will meet in the middle.
Hearing their names mentioned, Austin and Licia immediately took a few steps forward. And the two can see each other across the different stairs. Before throwing smiles at each other.
Licia nodded when she saw Austin's lips move and was like saying 'you're ready?'. Together the two stepped down the stairs. Instantly a rumble of applause echoed in the ballroom, because the eagerly awaited had already appeared to each other.
Austin extended his left hand as they met in the middle. Licia received Austin's helping hand and the two's hands were now interlocked and this further added to the clapping of the invited guests. The two couples immediately went down the stairs together. Both Austin and Licia stepped in cautiously as their right and left sides contained a lot of candles.
The guests were stunned by the appearance of both. Austin who was wearing a black tuxedo further added to the man's good looks. While Licia in her red dress wowed the men who almost choked on their own saliva. Beautiful, graceful and sexy, that was the image of the current Licia with unraveled hair. Moreover, the long dress was split long enough to show smooth white thighs.
"Ck, did she choose a sexy dress for my daughter?" A middle-aged man was seen clicking his tongue because he saw his daughter's long split dress.
The wife of course heard him, he patted her husband's hand as if protesting against the dress worn by their daughter.
"Don't think about the dress. Look, our daughter looks so pretty." In contrast to Mommy Angela who used to find the princess dress that looks so sexy. Zayn had just protested.
"But you see, our daughter's legs and thighs become their consumption." Zayn then showed his direction to the young men who were staring at the full dream of his daughter. "Shall I make their eyes blind, heh?" he was cynical with a sharp look directed at the young men there. But suddenly Zayn grimaced when he found a pinch on his thigh. And the culprit is the wife, who of course is unlikely to be hit by a burst from her.
"You're hurting me, baby" she lamented softly. It is impossible to be angry, because what hurt him was his beloved wife.
"You better shut up, Zayn and don't make trouble. Remember, today is our daughter's engagement day, you need to be able to hold yourself back." Mommy Angela gives a warning. For if she had said so, she was worried that her husband would actually realize her words.
Zayn let out a long breath, before then nodding. "Well, today I'm going to be a submissive husband."
Because of the praise, of course Zayn felt very happy. Like a young man in the middle of the Kasmaran. But his smile suddenly subsided when he accidentally met a look with Xavier.
Long pitting each other's sharp eyes, the two immediately threw away their faces. And it was only realized by their sons, Jacob and Arthur. Both just shakes.
The male MC just finished giving a welcome. And he asked the representatives of each of the couples to move forward immediately.
Xavier immediately stood up and allowed the suit to be worn, before then stepping forward. Similar thing was done by Zayn, the man stepped after Xavier first in front of him.
As if they had no problem whatsoever, the two commented smiles on Austin and Licia. Since the MCs gave Xavier and Zayn two microphones, they inevitably stood side by side.
Xavier cleared his throat before opening his voice. "Good afternoon everyone. Thank you to all of you who have attended. As the father of Austin Kendrick Romanov, of course I feel good for them and hope that in the future they can be more serious."
"Yes, I agree too. As the father of Jolicia Adeline Scott, I feel the same way." Suddenly Zayn chimed in, causing Xavier to glance cynically at Zayn.
"Heh, don't you have a stance, heh?! Why follow my words?!" Xavier felt unwelcome and he had just telepathically performed.
"Shut up! You think I care?!"
The two returned through telepathy. Realizing this, Austin moved forward to mediate. And whispered,
"Dad.... Uncle.... Can't you postpone it until the show's over? Look, you guys are the center of attention."
Both Xavier and Zayn straightened their eyes and were stunned to find the invitees staring in surprise at them.
"Ah, sorry. We're used to this" Xavier explained.
"really. Don't take it too seriously if you want to get out of here alive!"
You idiot!
Xavier cursed Zayn who said so. It felt like he kicked the man's ass for daring to threaten the guests.
"He was just kidding." Xavier straightens.
"Yes, I'm kidding." Zayn confirmed with a sinless smile. Though his words were successful in making the guests feel nervous as well as tight-fisted.
"Haha...." The sound of MC laughter instantly melted the atmosphere. "It turns out Mr. Scott is very humorous."
The previously tense atmosphere is now back boisterous. Some of the invited guests chuckled, but some were still nervous. While the family members just shook their heads, not least Licia and Austin.
The MC then allowed the two heads of the family to return to their respective seats, because now it was time for the exchange of rings. Allow Austin and Licia to move forward, and soon Kimberly and Greisy walk over with different trays.
Austin took the diamond ring, and put his palm together. Then Licia immediately placed her hand on Austin's palm. The man smiled sweetly, then pinned the ring on Licia's ring finger. Afterwards Licia did the same, pinning the ring on Austin's ring finger.
Kimberly and Greisy returned to their original places to coincide with the sound of clapping again rumbling. They felt the happiness felt by the two lovers. Until Austin brought Licia closer to him and put a kiss on the girl's forehead. Just contact the sweet treatment Austin invited boisterous invited guests and families. But unlike Zayn who actually put on a sour face, like not willing if his daughter kissed by another young man. Though unbeknownst to him, Austin has often kissed Licia, not only fondled but also lipped. (Note: And you guys don't leak yes, don't tell bang Zayn you wkwk 😅)
Afterwards, invited guests are welcome to enjoy the dishes available. Some of the guests congratulated Licia and Austin.
DIOBA, FKY, MKMK, AM and Black Sapote as well as other Asian guests invited by Austin began marching to congratulate them. Although not long ago in cooperation with the Romanov Group, the entrepreneurs from Asia were very kind and warm. (Note: The company of the readers yes origin do not come to be the actor yes wkwk 😂)
