The annual business night award was held at the event hall in Lupia Hotel, the second biggest hotel in Rosehill City after Gardenia.
Zachary and Eliana arrived one hour after the event and sat in the seat reserved for them.
Jason, who sighted Eliana the moment she walked him, frowned when he saw her flushed cheeks and looked away; he didn't even want to imagine what had kept them late.
Cecilia noticed her son's gaze and whispered to him, "Get over it already; it's already so obvious that the girl will never be yours."
"Not tonight, Mom," Jason replied to his mother without even sparing her a look.
The award ceremony kicked off after fifteen minutes of Zach and Eliana's entry, and it was not surprising when Zach won the best businessman for the year.
Eliana stood up and clapped for him with a proud look on her face.
