"Have you noticed what's missing from this year's Celestial Goddess custom gown?"
"A tiara?"
Before coming, she had done her homework online. Every Celestial Goddess gown from previous years came with a tiara, but hers didnât.
"Bingo!" The host laughed, "That's why we have a special, high-profile guest joining us on stage to crown you as Celestial Goddess, as a token of our sincerest blessings!"
"Let's give a warm welcome to the special guest."
A special guest? Xanthea turned, puzzled.
The online chat was buzzing with comments about how Xanthea was the center of attention among three heartthrobs, and then they saw the fourth.
Entering the stage was a man in a sharp suit, looking dapper and familiar - none other than Benjamin Jones.
The host announced, "Benjamin!"
Benjamin? Why was he here?
Xanthea was surprised and a bit uneasy. Didnât her uncle say he was overseas shooting a movie?
Since that major awkward moment in the dressing room, they hadnât seen each other, and she hadnât had the chance to explain the truth to him.
Seeing him now felt a bit awkward.
Down in the audience, Orion tensed up the moment he saw Benjamin.
[OMG, why is Ben here without any warning? Is this the surprise segment?]
[Heâs holding a tiara. Is it for Xanthea?]
[Movie King was abroad yesterday, and now heâs here at the ceremony. He must be here for Xanthea. I can smell the gossip brewing!]
[Great, another one in my sack.]
Benjamin stopped in front of Xanthea, "Xan, congratulations."
His eyes glued to her stunning beauty, he was spellbound.
"You look gorgeous today."
"Thank you."
Xanthea lowered her head slightly as he crowned her Celestial Goddess.
"Itâs not just friendship."
The host was surprised, "Huh?"
Benjamin clarified, "Itâs love."
The audience was shocked by his words, and Xanthea was gobsmacked.
[What? Did I hear that right? Benjamin just confessed his love f-for Xanthea?]
[Wow, talk about a bombshell! Movie King, youâre so bold. The official boyfriend is right there in the audience!]
[This is tough, both guys are so perfect. If I were in Xantheaâs shoes, Iâd be flying high with happiness haha!]
[Benjamin stirring things up? Let the drama begin. I love a good showdown!]
[I thought I was shipping the most unlikely couple, but here we are, validated by the man himself. I'm so moved!]
[Only Benjamin could pull this off. Anyone else trying to compete with Mr. Lockwood for her would be out of their league!]
"What the heck?"
