Farley Elegantly rose from his seat, walked to the stage, and stood beside Leigh. His left palm touched Leigh's shoulder, squeezed slightly, and smiled at her. Then he stood up straight facing the audience in front of the stage, he smiled gently at all.
"It's true, the Skystar Terrace project I held from the start but..." Farley explained all the difficulties he faced while holding the project, he said he himself didn't think he could win the project, but because of Leigh's intelligence in the end the branch office in the city of Terrazen can win the project. So, he said that Leigh deserved the award.
"So Leigh, deserves the award for the project…" Falrey said at the end of his explanation. "And because this is the first award from the winner of a major project held at the annual international training, I ask Mr. Kendric Osvaldo, to give the award" Farley smiled faintly looking at Kendric. He should have been the one to give the award, but he cunningly threw it at Kendric. he should be to give him information first. He didn't, Kendric would have done it with pleasure and of course with a big smile on his face.
As for the participants, when Farley's was mentioned Kendric, all of them were stunned, some had their mouths wide open until their saliva flowed out, some had their chests constricted because of the shock. Everyone didn't think, the handsome man who had always been present, just sat in the corner of the room, and didn't say a word, would now come to the stage and give awards to the winning participants. They were very enthusiastically.
Kendric looked amused at Farley, a smile tugging at his sensual lips. His eyes gleamed, staring at Leigh on stage. Their eyes met. His eyes seemed to want to swallow her whole.
And Leigh swallowed hard, seeing Kendric's predatory look.
Kendric rose from his seat. Walk elegantly towards the stage. All the participants' eyes were on him. But in his eyes, there was only Leigh. His gaze never left her. His sight was cut off when he was already standing beside her on the stage, facing the participants. A charming smile appeared on his handsome face.
Farley gave Kendric the trophy, which he accepted with a 'How dare you!' look. But he gave the same smile ever since he came on stage.
Farley knew the meaning of the smile on Kendric's face, he gave him a wink while returning a mischievous smile. He thought this was his only chance to tease him, so of course he wouldn't waste this golden opportunity.
Kendric turned to face Leigh, who by then had turned to face him. He could see there was nervousness on her face. To him it was a comforting gesture, he smiled at her. He took a step forward, holding out the trophy, waiting for Leigh's reaction.
Leigh herself, was very nervous. She hesitated to accept the trophy before her. With all eyes on her, making her tremble even more. She slowly raised both her hands to accept the trophy. Her eyes were looking the other way, trying her best not to look into Kendric's eyes, because if she did, it would make her tremble even more, her heart would likely jump out of her ribcage.
As soon as her hands, holding the trophy in Kendric's hands, flashes of camera lights flashed. Documenting the precious moment, the first-time recipient of an architectural design award under the Yannick Corporation based in the city of Yannick.
After a few seconds, the camera flash had subsided, Kendric let go of his hand. Unfortunately, his role on stage is not over yet. Farley poked his arm, which made him turn to him again. He handed him a certificate of appreciation along with a bouquet of flowers. Farley smiled mischievously at him again. This is a very rare moment he gets, as long as he is devoted to him, this is one moment he can tease him to his heart's content.
On the other hand, Kendric had already given him a sharp dagger look. 'How dare you!, you know I haven't been paying attention, and here you are, smiling happily, teasing me. You just wait!' he gave Farley the threat from his mind. Which Farley accepted with a happy giggle. 'Well, if you want to get her attention, this is a good moment my lord!' he replied to Kendric still with a mischievous smile on his face. Kendric could only take it with a death stare at him.
Then, Kendric turned to face Leigh once more, handing her a certificate of appreciation and then a bouquet of flowers. He was just about to leave, leaving the stage when the committee chairman's voice was heard again.
"Sir, do you mind if we take some pictures?" of course a rare golden opportunity, also not wasted by the committee. Who doesn't want to take a selfie with the charm and handsome of their big boss. She smiled enthusiastically. "Could you stand side by side with Leigh, closer sir"
Kendric stepped to stand beside Leigh until his arm touched against her.
Leigh, who had been silent for a while, gasped the second Kendric's arm touched her. It was as if an electric current had struck her body. make her legs limp. If she hadn't been standing in front of so many people, she would probably have fallen on the floor by now and buried her face under her hands between her bent legs.
Flashes of camera lights flashed again "Leigh smiles" shouted someone in the committee group.
Leigh forced a stiff smile on her face. Giving her the widest smile, she thought, was the best smile she had ever seen. Yet it was not so on the faces of those who saw it. They smiled amused to see her attitude on stage.
"Mr Farley, could you join in and stand on the other side of Leigh?" asked the chairman of the committee again, giving him a big smile.
Of course, he accepted immediately, he swiftly stood beside Leigh. And the camera flashes, flashing again.
And Kendric was just about to leave the stage. Again, restrained by the voice of the chairman of the committee. "Hmm sir, do you mind take two more picture? One with all the committee and lastly with all the training participants, please" a hopeful smile appeared on the face of the chairman of the committee pleading to Kendric.
Kendric glanced at Farley, who gave him a wink in return. Causing Kendric to hold back, a burst of cursing that was already at the end of his throat but caught in there. How could he utter a curse when Leigh was standing beside him. He continued to force a menacing smile at Farley. Finally, he stood again beside Leigh. One by one all the committee went up to the stage and finally all the participants also went up. And the selfie session ended, with the exclamation of enthusiasm from the chairman of the committee.
Kendric did not comment anything, as soon as the photo session was over, he immediately got off the stage, walked towards the meeting room door and left the room without looking back.
