Today was their second last day in Bali, Eleanor and her friends were so excited for the Christmas gala since many people will come and listen to their special Christmas presentation. On the other hand, Eleanor was dreading it because she felt like she wasn't ready. Today was their final day to showcase their skills which Eleanor wasn't looking forward to.
"Are you sure we can do a good job? I'm getting angsty." Eleanor wasn't too confident on her part but Luna reassured her that everything will go fine since they are presenting as a group. Eleanor deeply sighed and she was going nuts.
"Calm down, Eleanor. You did well on gathering sources and information. You're not working alone, remember you're with us." Luna gave Eleanor a hug and she hugged back thanking her best friend. Eleanor can always depend on her best friend and her group members.
"Okay, let's do this well and celebrate afterward!" Eleanor high fived Luna and other members.
On the other side of the hotel, Cameron and Mai Ke watched the staff preparing for tonight's gala. They made sure to have enough seats and dining tables. Staff carried flowers in vases, each of them were placed on different tables.
"What's wrong, Boss?" Mai Ke saw Cameron's expressionless face, "Aren't you happy?" Cameron looked at Mai Ke with a surprised expression, "What? No. I'm fine, I guess I didn't sleep too well last night." Mai Ke nodded, "Ah sure..." He wasn't convinced because Cameron was in a daze last night thinking about a girl he barely knew.
"That girl knew my name. I just remembered." Cameron said it out loud. Mai Ke facepalmed, "Of course she knew you, who are you? You're the famous CEO. Who doesn't know you." Cameron nodded, it was true. Everyone knew him. But to him, that girl reminded him of Melissa.
Cameron and Mai Ke headed back to their hotel. They sat in the lounge with other group of guys from the company. Everyone stood up as they saw CEO Li. Since they were discussing about tonight's gala, many of them were looking forward to meet with some girls.
"Hey, I heard that the research team has plenty of beautiful girls. I can't wait to meet them." One of the guys smiled and other agreed along with him. Another guy came from behind after hearing them talking about girls, "That girl who rescued our CEO looked really hot." Cameron shot him a death glance, Mai Ke looked at Cameron and asking him to calm down.
"Oh yes, she is a beauty. Her physique is really something else." One of guys agreed, "What if we confess to her? What if she wants to date one of us?" Cameron was losing his f---ing mind but Mai Ke whispered to Cameron, "Boss, calm down. You're the CEO and I know you like that girl but you're not the only one. I hate to break it to you but you have lots of competitions." Cameron wasn't happy at Mai Ke and gave him a death glare, "She's mine, I saw her first." Mai Ke quickly nodded, "Ok, ok, ok... I get it. Calm down."
Cameron went out because he couldn't handle the conversation. I'll rip those heads off, Cameron mumbled. He was angry about what they said about the girl, Eleanor, whom he liked the first time when she saved him. Mai Ke nervously followed Cameron after he shot that death glare. He shook his head trying not to think about it.
Back at the resort, Eleanor and the group of girls did a makeover for tonight's gala. A lot of them wore beautiful dresses except for Eleanor. She wasn't the type to wear dresses in the first place. The first dress she wore was from Cameron. While everyone was dressing up, Eleanor carefully did her make up, then someone knocked on the door. It was a delivery for Eleanor.
"Who is it? Who is it?" A group of girls surrounded her, Eleanor opened up the box and it was a pretty long dark blue dress with sequins and a belt. On the right side, there was a dolphin design with small beads. Eleanor opened up a card and it's from Mai Ke, assistant to CEO of Menghai. Mai Ke, she thought, "Oh... ok." She nodded. Mai Ke was the guy who took care of Cameron but how did he know I like dolphin? Did Cameron remember she was Melissa? Wait... that's impossible.
"Eleanor, wear the dress. We want to see you wear it." Luna was excited for Eleanor since someone has a crush on her. Eleanor wore it and came out stunning. Everyone's jaws opened. Luna was surprised as well, "Omg, you look stunning. You will be the center of attention at the gala. I can feel it." Eleanor thought the dress was pretty, "Guess I'll wear it, then. How long until the presentation?" Luna checked her phone, "An hour, we should head their now."
When they went to the conference center inside the Grand Hotel, the setting and the decorations were gorgeously prepared. Everywhere had some Christmas taste to it. Eleanor and her group went to prepare their part while the rest also prepared for theirs.
Cameron and Menghai's employees entered the conference center, the group of guys who were talking about girls were all quiet. They saw the girls right in the conference center except for Eleanor's group. The guys were so nervous that they were sweating from head to toes.
"Boss, Eleanor's group will be presenting first. Let's go to the front and find our seats." Cameron nodded and went with Mai Ke. As they headed to their seat, Cameron bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I---" Eleanor bowed and apologized. When she got up, Cameron's face was in shock, "M.. M.. Me..lissa?" Eleanor didn't have time to react and she was shocked, "Uhm CEO Li, you got the wrong person. I'm Eleanor." Mai Ke calmly asked Cameron to let go of Eleanor, "Boss, watch your action. You're in the public now." Cameron apologized and Eleanor smiled at him, "It's fine, everyone make mistakes." Then, she went on her ways to the stage. But, Cameron was sure he wasn't mistaken, Eleanor's smile is Melissa and the dolphin design on her dress. He suddenly remembered what Mai Ke said, "Sometimes, you need to believe in a miracle."
