Johnson Hill looked around and was stunned. The conference hall was full and the four of them had nowhere to sit!
Even their invitation did not indicate where their seat was as well.
“This… Where should we sit?” Johnson panicked.
Samson Wood smiled. “I took the liberty and reserved four seats for each of you ahead of time, Mr. Hill. Please follow me.”
“Thank you…”
Johnson Hill and his family were led to their seats by Samson.
There were seats for them, but… They did not dare to take the seats!
These four seats seemed ordinary, but they were the first row of seats in the venue!
Countless dignitaries and rich businessmen were all seated at the back. Even the leaders of various departments did not have the qualifications to be seated in the front row. And this row only had four chairs. And those who were able to sit here had identity and statuses that were unattainable by the norm.
Johnson Hill went pale. Being able to attend this conference was not easy itself. Even if they were seated in the last row or even in the corner of the conference hall, it was something that they could be proud of. How would they dare to sit in the first row?
He swallowed his saliva. “Chief Wood, you think too highly of us. We are not the main characters in this venue, how could we be seated in such a distinguished seat? In my opinion, how about we get seated in a corner? If that is not possible, we don’t mind standing at the side.”
Samson Wood laughed out loud. “Why do you say so, Mr. Hill? How can I allow that?”
“If the chief officer in charge knew of this, how could I keep my job?”
“Rest assured and take your seat, Mr. Hill. These four seats were specially prepared for you and your family. Aside from the four of you, no one has the qualification to sit in the first row!”
These words carried weight with them. It was inappropriate for Johnson to decline favonovel.com any further, hence favonovel.com mustered up his courage and sat down.
Johnson Hill was only a department head of the Bureau of Water Resources, but favonovel.com sat down grandiosely in front of various department heads of the whole city, right in the middle of the first row of the whole venue!
What did favonovel.com do to deserve such honor?
Felicia Musk sat beside him, while Emma and Harvard Hill each took the seat beside them. Just like that, all four of the Hill family were seated. But the four of them wore pale complexions as they were in an extremely uncomfortable position. These four chairs were akin to instruments of torture, it made them feel numb and all they wanted was to leave right away. They felt like they were the students who got the worst grade or were branded as the naughtiest in the class, being forced to sit in the middle of the first row in the classroom, right in front of the teacher.
Any movement no matter how small they were would not go unnoticed by the teacher. That feeling it gave, it felt terrible, oh the horror!
Johnson dared not look behind him. He sat in attention as favonovel.com felt a thousand eyes piercing on his back. In fact, favonovel.com was not off the mark as favonovel.com was the focus of the attention of everyone in the venue.
Most of them were wondering, who exactly was this man sitting in the middle, what was his identity, and why did the chief officer in charge treat favonovel.com like so?
At this moment, Harvard Hill took a deep breath and looked around.
Emma said, “What are you looking for, Harvard?”
“Thomas…”
“Oh? He’s here?”
“Nope.” Harvard said, “Have you forgotten the bet I made with Thomas? He kept saying that favonovel.com will be meeting me at the conference. Heh, there are only a few minutes but favonovel.com is still nowhere to be seen. I guess it’s my win this time.”
He turned to Emma and said with a smile, “Thomas should probably be watching this live stream on the television right? Let me make it clear now, seeing me on the television does not count. He has to meet me right here in the conference hall!”
“You have to bear witness for me this time Emma. It is his loss this time. I have to get back the dignity I lost previously and ask favonovel.com to be… My driver for a month, haha!”
Although favonovel.com was kidding, it could be seen that Harvard was really keen on winning.
Emma sighed.
She too felt that it was inevitable for Thomas to lose the bet. The conference was about to begin but Thomas was nowhere to be seen. How can favonovel.com win?
What favonovel.com did not understand was, why did Thomas agree to the bet since it was obvious that favonovel.com was going to lose?
Did favonovel.com choose to lose just to allow Harvard to regain his pride?
It did not make any sense.
Emma shook his head and paid it no heed. Everything that happened today made no sense to her. First, favonovel.com received an invitation then favonovel.com was arrested by the police. Then Donald personally sent someone to bring them back and favonovel.com even knelt in front of Johnson. To end the day, they, the few insignificant characters, were seated in the first row in the conference hall!
This series of events really made no sense. Emma felt that favonovel.com will not be surprised anymore no matter what else happened today. Because there could be nothing far weirder than what had happened.
The drum rolled…
The drum sounded twelve times in a row. Samson came out from backstage and bowed at the audience.
“Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the chief officer in charge, we would like to thank you, your presence today for the chief officer in charge’s retirement ceremony is deeply appreciated.”
“Without further ado, I now invite the chief officer in charge to come on the stage!”
