Chapter 44 The Heroine (Part Two)

Struggling, Sherry reluctantly placed her hand on Steve's. He grabbed this opportunity to hold her hand.

Steve rubbed the back of her hand as he whispered, in a voice that only they could hear, "You will be the winner tonight." It was obvious that Steve said this on purpose but Sherry merely ignored him.

Sherry gave an awkward smile, not knowing what to say.

She didn't want to be the winner. She just wanted to blend in the crowd and not be noticed by anyone.

Since it was Steve who had invited her to come up the stage, everyone was making way for her. She only wanted to be at the sidelines but now, she had no choice but to be in the center.

From the crowd, Sherry could spot Chester watching her. When she turned, she found that Jeremy too was watching her intently.

Chester was grinning at her while Jeremy was glaring at her. It was obvious that both of them were eagerly waiting on what Sherry was going to do.

"Okay! Are there any other ladies coming up?" The emcee craned her neck to look around. When she was sure that almost all the ladies were on the stage already, she said, "The gentlemen can start giving their roses. You're free to pick the lady whom your heart desires."

As soon as emcee finished speaking, all the men started coming up the stage.

Sherry lowered her head. She then saw a rose being handed to her so she took it. Then the second came then the third and the fourth...

As she clutched the roses in her hands, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why were all these men giving her their roses? She didn't even want to receive a single rose!

As more and more men handed their roses out, Jeremy remained frozen in place, his gaze still fixed on Sherry.

It was evident that

her face. Was that really the rule? She wondered how she should decide.

Did she really want to challenge Jeremy?

With a mysterious smile on his face, Steve went down the stage.

She had to hold so many roses in her hands. 'I didn't think I'd have to ask someone to a dance just because I have these roses! Unfortunately, there's not a single man in here that I like!

Really?' she thought to herself.

After the giving of the roses was over, the emcee came back on stage. "Wow, our heroine of the night is decided!"

Sherry didn't even need to look at how many roses the other women were holding. Despite her lack of enthusiasm in this game, she still won.

"Yes, Miss Sherry Xu is the winner!" As soon as the emcee finished speaking, a thunderous applause roared in the hall.

After the other women got off the stage, Sherry was left in the middle, standing alone. She swept her eyes across the crowd.

"Well, Miss Xu, you're the most beautiful woman in this hall tonight. Please choose the man you want to share a dance with!" the emcee announced loudly.

The crowd fell into a silence as they all stared at Sherry, waiting for her decision.
