Chapter 23: Kinsley’s Ability
Gianna watched Caesar deliver his speech.
She could tell Caesar was clearly a little nervous.
It was initially impossible for him to get nervous in such a situation.
Was it because he had sensed pressure when he was delivering the speech in front of Kingsley?
She had to say putting aside both of their public images, Caesar did not have any advantage in front of Kingsley, and he even looked slightly inferior too.
She knew Caesar did not have Kingsley’s capability when Kingsley’s power rose back then. After all, she had even given Caesar a lot of help back then and it could be not only her, other people who were also helping him. Yet Caesar was still unable to outshine Kingsley under so many supports. That was enough to show that Caesar was not Kingsley’s opponent at all.
“Why did I feel that Caesar is nothing more than this?” Maureen watched the television and commented.
The worker who was enthusiastic in chatting with her just now immediately kept quiet.
Everybody knew Caesar was Gianna’s fiancé, and both of them were getting married soon. Who would dare to criticize Caesar in front of Gianna?
Only Maureen was bold enough to do so.
Yet what made the worker shocked was Gianna did not show a single response when Maureen talked about Caesar like that.
And she seemed to agree to Maureen’s thought very much too.
Didn’t rumor say Gianna love, Caesar, very much?
Why did she feel that her love towards him was nothing more than that at that moment?
They were dealing with the crown’s delivery matter at the VIP reception room, yet their attention was all attracted towards the outstanding youth selection at that moment.
Five people had registered for the selection and they would deliver their speech at the scene.
Kingsley’s eloquence and power in delivering his speech were indeed outstanding among all participants. Plus he was the first to deliver it. His performance had amazed everyone and the participants who came after him were all overshadowed.
The speech delivering session came to an end.
The selection was done by a senior judging panel at the scene.
It was Caesar who won the award in her previous life.
Yet no one knew whether the outcome would change in this life.
Gianna looked at the card the host was holding nervously. The host then spoke, “The selection panel has come out with a result. Based on the contributions the five outstanding youths had done to society, and their speech performance just now, I hereby announce the first place goes to…”
Everyone was having butterflies in their stomach.
The worker was now staring at the screen with a praying gesture. She was clearly nervous.
She was not the only one though.
Gianna was also a little nervous too.
She wondered whether everything that had happened in her previous life would change starting from this moment.
She regained her composure.
The host wanted to make everyone nervous on purpose and she did not announce the result at length.
After waiting for a good ten seconds, she then said the name out loud, “Caesar Kennedy!”
Thunderous applause was then heard at once. novelbin
The camera shot turned to Caesar.
The nervous look that flashed across his face was still captured by Gianna.
Yet the next second, he displayed the usual composure and gentleness he had.
He bowed deeply at the selection panel and the audience.
He looked humble and well educated.
He was a likeable man.
“Tut.” Maureen seemed to look a little disappointed, “There’s no surprise at all.”
“Mr. Walker was obviously better…” the worker murmured. She sounded sorry but she did not dare to speak much.
She was afraid of offending Gianna.
Gianna was actually disappointed for a second too.
She initially thought she could change something…
She secretly adjusted her emotions.
She got up and was going to leave.
Yet at that moment, the host suddenly spoke excitedly, “And, Kingsley Walker! Congratulations to Mr. Walker!”
Her announcement was out of the blue.
Caesar’s smile froze at once from the screen.
It was a blatant change of emotion.
Yet the camera shot had turned to Kingsley.
He seemed to accept the result calmly.
He had been wearing a bland smile and did not show any emotion before his name was announced.
He was still modest and composed when his name was announced afterwards.
“Damn, his demeanor on stage is so good!” Maureen could not help but speak.
It was obviously praise, yet she sounded like she was teasing him.
However, Kingsley had indeed showed too many astonishing strengths today which were difficult to ignore and accept on the other hand.
It was normal that Maureen was behaving so emotionally.
“See, I told you Mr. Walker was better,” the worker could not help but chime in excitedly, yet afraid that she had offended Gianna, she immediately added, “So as Mr. Kennedy.”
Gianna chuckled softly.
Kingsley Walker had indeed given her surprise.
She said to Maureen, “I’m leaving.”
“Don’t you want to see them giving the award?” Maureen was still absorbed in the situation.
Gianna was lazy to answer her and she turned to the staff worker, “Please deliver the crown to the Morris’s villa.”
“No problem, Miss Morris,” the worker hurriedly replied.
Gianna walked out of the reception room.
Maureen took a few more glances before she left with her.
She could see both Kingsley and Caesar on the TV screen.
She secretly exclaimed that Gianna had sharp eyes.
Kingsley was way more handsome than Caesar no matter how she saw him.
She quickly chased after Gianna and went inside her car.
She kept on mentioning Kingsley the moment she entered the car and she was still extremely excited even though Gianna did not reply to her.
“I’ve asked Bruce Shawn to have lunch with us,” Gianna suddenly spoke.
Maureen was startled.
She stared straight at Gianna and asked, “What did you say?”
“I said I’ve asked Bruce Shawn to have lunch with us, at the Folk Restaurant. We’re gonna eat your favorite common folk dishes,” Gianna repeated.
“Are you out of your mind?” Maureen snapped.
Her hair seemed to bristle due to rage.
Gianna smiled, “Why are you so emotional? Since he’s come back, shouldn’t we have a meal with him to celebrate his return as a friend?”
“He’s come back for six months, and now you’re saying we should have a meal with him to celebrate his return? Plus, when have you guys become friends?”
“We’ve grown up together since little if that’s not called friends, I don’t know what is.”
“You knew I hated him.” Maureen looked slightly aggrieved.
“I remembered you said you liked him back then.” Gianna let out a smile.
Maureen blushed and she said indignantly, “I was being ignorant, plus I was only 15, 16 years old or so back then. I thought the reason my heart races was because I like someone, yet it’s just disrupted heartbeat rhythm and I’ve misunderstood it. I only know what it truly is to like someone when I met Brandon.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah. I and Brandon are like inseparable twins and our relationship is better than you and Caesar’s… hold on, heck no, we’re not like you and Caesar, we’ll be together until the end of our life!” Maureen was assertive.
