0.68 The Winners Of The Night

"Would you guys like to say anything to the audience?" Madam Belle asked the winners of the night. 

Ariana turned towards Jared and nudged her head forward for him to say something. Jared gave her a look of incredulity before he moved forward to take the microphone from Madam Belle with a tight smile.

"Ladies first," he said into the mic before he handed it to Ariana whose expression was of displeasure.

Coward!! Only when he wanted to avoid discomfort did he remember she was a lady. Not wanting to seem rude, she took the mic from him with a glare before she turned towards the crowd with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Ariana Jatropesh from the Jatropesh's industry and Gold's Foundation. First of all, I want to thank you, Madam Belle, for offering me this great opportunity," she turned to her with genuine gratitude.
