Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 1558 Congratulations on Your Promotion

Suddenly, Angela whisked herself off the seat and stood above the seated audience. Her face turned red with embarrassment as she shoved Arvin's shoulder away. "Go away! I don't want to sit with you! You're nothing but a bad guy!"

Despite her outburst, Arvin still felt a deep attraction for this woman, enough to disregard her entire uncouth reproach.

...

About ten minutes later, it was Angela's turn onstage, so she got up and left Arvin to his own devices. She power-walked to backstage in a fit watching Arvin, who removed himself and sat back at the front.

From his re-positioning, Nita got to see who Arvin had been sitting next to, and she was not pleased. She had danced for his reciprocation, but now she wasn't sure if he had even deigned to watch her performance.

People gradually lost their interest in the show since there were too many song and dance numbers. The host noticed their fatigue and hopped up onstage with renewed vigor in his tone as he announced the next act. It was just in time, too. "Next is Angela, from the Research and Development Department. Her show is entitled Little Chips Light Great Fires!"

Being that Angela was the gossip subject of the whole hospital right now, as well as Chuck's daughter, the room awoke in a stir of anticipation.

Angela sighed upon hearing the name of her show. She was not a talented girl and had spent a lot of time coming up with the name of the show!

Angela donned her white coat, dusted off her cap and mask, and traipsed onstage with all her equipment.

Two desks had been laid out onstage. The audience were rapt, if not a little confused.

What was Angela doing? they wondered.

The options were do a song or dance, and it was usually an excuse to wear one's most expensive dress; instead, Angela just wore her work clothes.

It could be her low-key personality, her independent spirit, or... her dedication to work.

That's what people like Nita would think, but in reality, Angela didn't actually think much about what to wear; the performance, instead, would speak for itself.

All the chemical solutions she prepared were very special. It was a laborious craft, but she would focus simply on how to extract each of them.

The ambient music began to play from somewhere deep behind the stage. Angela poured out one

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

e night sky dissolved.

The performance was officially over.

When the light was turned on, there were only two desks and a suitcase prepared by Angela.

"Thank you all!" Angela walked down the steps of the stage to a standing ovation which had been ringing since the fireworks had started.

When all the shows were finished, the voting began.

Unsurprisingly, Angela won first place.

She hadn't expected such a result, though, because her performance didn't express any significant meaning; to her, it was all simple chemical calculations, and routine. But to the audience, it represented so much more. The visual impacts brought about by her show were great and conducive with the theme of innovation. It expressed the element and spirit of the Research and Development Department.

Arvin went to the stage and presented the award to Angela.

She stood in the center of the stage and watched Arvin walking to her.

Under the arrangement of the host, Arvin took the trophy and stood in front of Angela.

People knew the affair between Angela and Arvin, so they became excited when Arvin gave the award to Angela and hugged her.

"Angela, you are the best!" He kissed on her hair secretly.

Angela smiled, "It was just a trick! I feel embarrassed to take the first prize."

It was just a chemical effect, after all.

Arvin released her and told her in low voice, "I'm crazy about your performance. You are so special to me!"

At that moment, his eyes were full of happiness and love. Angela stared at him directly...
