Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell
Phoebeâs eyes lit up at the offer. âSeriously?â
The audience seating area was likely full, and she had planned to stake out a corner with Christine so they could watch the performance. Neither of thern expected to get seats in the second row.
Christine seemed tempted by the offer as well.
Daniel caught the shift in Christineâs expression and brightened up. me, ladies!â
âYeah, so follow
Phoebe gave Christine a prim look and asked quietly, âDo we follow him, Christine?â
Christine was hesitant as well. If the note Daniel had given her this morning was any indication, he seemed to have feelings for her.
Danielâs throat tightened when he sensed Christineâs hesitation. She wouldnât turn down his offer, would she?
âWhy not? The seats are free, anyway,â Christine said, deciding that she would take Daniel up on his offer to watch the performance from the second row.
Carlisle and Wanda had signed up to perform tonight. Although the latter was out of commission due to her delicate state, Carlisleâs performance would still go on.
Christine certainly didnât want to miss out on either of their performances.
âCome on, Iâll take you to your seats.â The crease between Danielâs brows smoothed
out when he heard Christineâs acceptance.
He led the two young ladies into the stadium, which was already packed.
Peter and a few other board executives were ushering in the honored guests.
Ten honored guests had been invited to the party. All of whom were businessmen
who had made generous donations to the university in recent years..
Two extra seats were given to each guest in anticipation of them bringing their
family members or loved ones.
At exactly 7:00 pm, the bonfire party commenced with an opening ceremony Two upperclassmen took to the stage to welcome the crowd.
They made a fine couple on stage.
The young lady was none other than Queenieâs best friend, Luna, She wore an exquisite evening gown that shimmered under the stage lights.
The young man, on the other hand, was Derek Russell. He sported an athletic build and a handsome face. He appeared to have a rather friendly disposition and bore some resemblance to a celebrity.
This was not the first time Luna had served as the host of a bonfire party.
There was no trace of anxiety on her radiant face as she brought the microphone to her lips and said, âTo our distinguished guests, esteemed members of the faculty, and our fellow studentsâ¦â
âGood evening, and thank you for being here!â Luna and Derek said in unison.
Luna continued, âWelcome to our annual bonfire party. Iâm Luna, and Iâll be your host for tonight.â
âAnd Iâm Derek, Lunaâs trusty partner on stage,â Derek introduced himself brightly.
âWeâve gathered here for a special occasion todayâto welcome our new students on campus and celebrate a new semester together!â Luna announced.
Derek continued smoothly, âWe hope the freshmen will bring new dreams and ambitions to this new semester. Your presence here has given this school new life and energy. Because of you, our campus life is made even more vibrant!â
Luna added, âTonight, weâve prepared a series of fascinating performances, including mesmerizing songs and captivating dance numbers. We even have a few. comedy segments lined up for your amusement!
âAll these programs are meant to showcase our student bodyâs many talents and our appreciation for the freshmen.â
âI believe tonight will be a night of laughter and unforgettable memories,â Derek said with a dazzling smile. âLet us forget our worries and relax as we enjoy this wonderful
occasion!
Luna said, âNow, let the bonfire party begin! We hereby begin the nightâs festivities. I
Derek announced, âOur first performance is-
Derek was cut off when Peter suddenly came up on stage..
Thinking on his feet, Derek quickly smiled and said, âBut before that, fet us give a round of applause to our dean, Mr. Smith, who will be giving a speech!â
Luna handed the microphone to Peter.
Peter took the microphone and addressed the audience apologetically, âIâm not supposed to be giving a speech this evening, but the occasion calls for it.
âWe have a special guest among us today who has donated three million dollars to
our university to construct a new library.
âThat special guest is Mr. Gareth Spencer, the man behind Scarlet Corporation! Let us give him a round of applause!â
At once, Gareth stood up in the audience seating area.
When the spotlight fell upon him, the female students in the audience squealed. âOh my gosh, heâs gorgeous!â
âThree million dollars? Heâs so generous!â another gushed.
âI wonder if heâs single.â
âPlease, like someone as rich and handsome as him could be single!â Gareth sat down with a smile but kept his gaze fixed on Luna.
