The moment his name was announced, deafening screams filled the venue. Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic mogul.
The host chuckled but quickly changed his tone.
"Unfortunately, our Mr. Lexington is quite the eccentric. No matter how much I pleaded, he refused to make an appearance."
"However, I eventually discovered that there’s only one person who can persuade Mr. Lexington to grace us with his presence, his future wife."
The playful warm-up was followed by an excited uproar from the audience.
"Alessia! Alessia!"
Immediately afterward, many people shouted.
"Mr. Lexington’s way of confessing is so unique!"
"The future Mrs. Lexington must be our Alessia. It’s love at first sight!"
"Alessia! Alessia!"
The cheers were deafening, drowning out even the host’s voice. Yet, amidst the enthusiasm, his expression turned slightly awkward.
"Please, everyone, let’s settle down for a moment!"
He double-checked the card in his hand over and over again as if making sure he was not mistaken.
Finally, with a trace of hesitation, he cleared his throat and announced, "And now, I’d like to invite Mr. Lexington’s future wife, Miss Isla Vasquez, to the stage."
