Hastily, Charlos ran over to the woman. He could not move fast because some people blocked his way to shake hands with him. Charlos ignored his surroundings, and he just focused on moving backstage quickly.
His eyes searched. Several people watched Charlos, who was confused. And then, he went deeper into another room.
The room seemed deserted. Charlos approached it, but then his steps stopped. There were two people sitting side by side on chairs, a man and a woman. The man handed a bunch of flowers into the woman's hand. Then the man kissed her cheek affectionately with a big smile.
The woman smiled back. When Charlos saw the woman's smile, his heart immediately trembled, how he missed that smile. Slowly, Charlos walked forward towards the woman. His heart was beating so fast, and it felt like it was going to sink into his throat.
