Chapter 158: Lo and behold
Confusion was evident in everyone’s eyes as soon as they saw the person who came out of the backstage holding a gift box. Unlike everyone who came in tonight in their best dress and suits, the man right here didn’t look like he was forced to do it.
’As much as I don’t want to judge the book by its cover,’ Fil mentally sighed for the umpteenth time. ’But Jack sent this gift.’
Forget about the man Rosalind put up in here to humiliate her, but Fil was even more nervous about what was inside the box. After this, this was Jackson. Although she had faith, that Jackson wouldn’t do anything to sabotage her, it scared her!
’The fact that there are only a few who understand his dry humor is enough to scare me,’she sighed once more. ’The chairman might not understand whatever gift Jackson sent me here.’
Thinking of the gift she bought for the chairman, she couldn’t help but think she should’ve gone with it. She bought him a watch, after all. A watch that wouldn’t be so easily ridiculed since she customized it with the help of a technician in the company.
"Uhm." The host cleared his throat to get Fil and the other man’s attention. Putting away the mic, he whispered. "Mister, you can hand it over to her."
Fil smiled and nodded, just so the man wouldn’t have to cause more confusion. But the man just stared at the host with a dead expression.
"You can..." Fil took a step forward to take the gift, but the man moved it away from her. "What?"
The man assessed Fil from head to toe and sighed heavily. His reaction made Fil furrow between her brows.
’Why did he sigh as if I’m pathetic?’ she wondered, rendered speechless. ’Did Rosalind put him up to pull off such an act?’
"Gift from her to you," said the man in a loud and clear voice, making everyone hear his thick accent as if he just started learning the language. The man then jogged down the stage, marching straight to the chairman’s table.
