Chapter 622 The Award Ceremony 2
"Ha! Look at her, acting like a big shot, being escorted by her entire team. Did she hire a few gigolos to surround her for show?" The woman sneered, her eyes narrowing with envy as she glanced at Leo, Luke, Dave, and Xavier.
So focused on her own race training, she hadn’t bothered to learn who Dave or Xavier were.
Unfamiliar with the world of politics or the entertainment industry, she assumed the two men—who were frequently seen on TV—were just part of Hera’s entourage, treating them as nothing more than her hired escorts.
Hearing the woman’s comment, Danny, who was walking alongside Hera and the others, nearly choked on his own spit.
He glanced at the Young Minister’s face—someone who was frequently seen in international interviews—and couldn’t decide whether to laugh at the absurdity of it or to feel embarrassed for the woman.
The suggestion that he was some sort of a gigolo was so ridiculous, Danny was left awkwardly caught between amusement and discomfort.
But the woman wasn’t finished. "So, was the award ceremony postponed because she was busy with her gigolo behind closed doors? How audacious!" she sneered, her words echoing across the venue.
Several reporters nearby overheard her comment and quickly started recording, their eyes now turning to Hera with unmistakable skepticism.
Hera, however, remained composed. On the surface, she appeared innocent and unbothered, but inside, a thought crossed her mind: ’Woman’s intuition is terrifyingly accurate.’
With a calm smile, Hera cast the woman a brief, indifferent glance before being called to the stage alongside the other two runners-up to receive their trophies.
After receiving their trophies and posing for pictures with the organizers and the other runners-up, the next segment of the ceremony began.
