Rhehan stepped down from the stage while everybody stood up again, clapping for the man. He was now meeting several people, talking to them happily one by one. Everybody was now eagerly waiting to meet the star of the night.
Rhehan was also extremely elated today. Though, this was not the first time, he was given an honour like this, but he knew, back their his family must be seing the live coverage of this event and feeling proud of him. Though they are not with him, but they will be definitely looking at him.
In the other corner of the auditorium, the obese waiter served a gla.s.s of red wine to Cheryl, bending down more than required.
"Miss, shall I implement the plan right now?"
"No! Don"t be stupid! He has just arrived. If he goes missing now, people will get suspicious! Wait for the event to almost end!" Cheryl whispered in a stern voice.
"Yes Miss!" The waiter whispered back.
The girl looked at Rhehan, who was busy talking to an elderly couple. "Hmphh!!! I will make sure it works this time!!"
She quickly got up and walked graciously towards the man. Cheryl was catching everybody"s attention in her mustard colored, off- shoulder, silk gown.
She touched the man"s shoulder lightly and nodded graciously at the couple Rhehan was talking to. "Rhehan! If you could please excuse me!"
Rhehan looked back in surprise and saw Cheryl standing before him. He frowned looking at the girl, but did not say anything rude to her. "Yes?"
"Can I just talk to you for a minute?" She looked at Rhehan and then turned look at the couple. "If you don"t mind please!"
Thd couple nodded sweetly and Rhehan unwillingly walked towards a side, following Cheryl. "What is it Cheryl? Stop bothering me!" Rhehan whispered angrily.
"Listen I just want to say sorry to you! For what I did back then and even now at the pool! I am sorry, I got carried away!"
Cheryl spoke in a sad tone.
"It doesn"t even matter to me Cheryl. Just stay away from me!" Rhehan was about to walk away, when Cheryl held the boy"s hand.
"Please forgive me! I am really sorry!" She looked at the boy, as if on a verge of crying.
"Ohk! Fine! I forgive you. Now just stop bothering me. Alright!" Rhehan shrugged away his hand from her grip.
Cheryl smiled, hearing the man"s words. "Care to have a drink with me? An apology drink maybe? I think it is not such a bad idea."
Rhehan looked at the girl in surprise.
Just because I said ok, she is treating me like a friend? Some guts, the girl has!
"No thanks! I am at an important event, if you can now stop wasting my time please!" He walked away angrily, back to where the couple was standing and resumed talking to them.
Cheryl kept staring at the man, from a far end distance. "Ohh!! G.o.d!!! Why is he not ordering for a drink?" She grumbled unhappily.
She then walked a little closer, to him and overheard his conversations to another elderly man now.
"What drink would you like to have Mr. Jobs. We have some finest wines here!"
Spoke the elderly man.
"Ahh!! Sorry Mr. Chang! But I am currently off drinks. I have been avoiding them lately!" Rhehan grinned.
"Oh! I see! It is a good thing though!"
Cheryl heard the conversation and was dumb founded. "s.h.i.+t!!! No drinks!!??"
