Chapter 72

Just as Ashley and Arman sat down, the band came back on stage.  The lights suddenly dimmed, and only the spotlight remained.   Everyone was holding their breath and were anxiously anticipating who would be showing up.

In a short while, they heard the host's voice made an announcement...

"Hello! Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening to everyone!  I am your host for the night. Before I call our main event, I just want you to know that if not for one extraordinary person who's here right now, we would not be able to invite this performer tonight.

"This performance is a special request of a person to make a family that is special to him happy.  And so, we would like to thank him and acknowledge him.  How about giving him a round of applause, come on!"  The host happily asked the audience to thank Tanaga for inviting the person that's about to perform.

*Clap, clap, clap!*

"Thank you so much!  Whoever you are, for letting us see this show!" The crowd all clapped and shouted their thanks.

"Thank you!!! Whoever you are, thank you very much, and you gave us this chance to watch.  Thank you!!!" One guest shouted excitedly while continuously clapping his hand.

Tanaga told the manager not to mention his name and Ashley's family.  But anyone could tell that they are the ones the host were talking about since half of the bar was off-limits and they are the only one inside the other half.  Who else could it be?

Ashley's brothers were very proud and sat there like they were princes'

Meanwhile, Tanaga sat quietly, and enjoying the atmosphere was just quietly drinking his c.o.c.ktail drinks.

Ashley's brothers were concentrating on what the host was saying, so Ashley sneakily went closer to Tanaga and whispered…"Thank you! For everything… If this is a dream, I do not want to wake up anymore." While tears of joy started forming in her eyes. 

Tanaga also deliberately stuck his ears to Ashley's lips before turning around to steal a kiss.

*Tsup!*

Ashley was surprised by what Tanaga had done. Therefore she reacted as she would usually do; her hand quickly smacked Tanaga's back. * Pak!* "Why you do that for?"  She whispered, afraid her family would hear them.

Tanaga was also surprised by what Ashley did and looked at her fiercely.  At that exact time, Arman looked their way because he had something to ask Ashley.  Just in time for him to see the interaction between the two...

' I really feel something's off with these two.  It's not normal for an assistant and boss to act like this. Hmmm? ' Arman was restless and tapped Arthur...   He needed to talk to someone, or he would go nuts with what's going on between the two.

"Bro! Let's go out for a while.  There's something I need to talk to you about, and it's too noisy here.  Come on!"

However, Arthur was too excited to know who is the guest singer, so he only waved his hand and ignored his brother Arman's arms, which was holding his shoulder. 

"Bro, can it wait? The show is about to begin. I don't want to miss this one, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and you want us to go out to talk.  Later, ok!" He irritatedly answered his brother.

There was nothing Arman could do.  Arthur was right, it's a once in a lifetime event, and they shouldn't be missed it for the world.  Therefore he keeps quiet and observes the two.  That's why he did not hear who the singer who will be performing was.

Suddenly everyone began screaming and applauding like crazy...  Especially when the host made the announcement.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you the one and only... "The Diva... Ms. Sophia Wen..."
