Chapter 0020
Tobias had just concluded greeting a client of his when the sound of commotion coming from somewhere caught his attention.
The first thing he did was trying and find Celestine who was no longer by his side. For a few seconds, his eyes swept through the crowd, trying to locate her, but only seconds later, his eyes stopped their search, not because they had found who he was looking for, but because his brain had registered the sight of his ex wife, Amara.
And she looked unbelievable in the dress she had adorned.
"Amara..." The name left his lips in a whisper and before he could stop himself, he had started to move towards her, but his movements were abruptly stopped when the figure of a tall man came into view and effortlessly wrapped his hand around Amara's waist. "Is there an issue here?" Lorenzo asked, glancing between Celestine and Fiona with a menacing glare that made the latter shiver.
"Not at all." Amara beat them both to the punch before they could speak. "I was simply educating these two idiots before us."
"Educating us? You called my brother impotent!" Fiona shrieked.
"Never did. I simply suggested that you get him checked out in a hospital. Don't misunderstand my words, Fiona." Amara said and looked over her shoulder, as in that moment, she felt a piercing glare on her back.
She instantly locked eyes with Tobias who looked anything but pleased. How could he after learning that Amara had called him impotent? Or even doubted his capabilities in bed?
Ha, it was almost laughable, if it wasn't maddening.
Perhaps the useless play toy beside her has dulled her sense of judgement and he needed to remind her of his capabilities in bed.
Taking a step forward, Tobias was about to confront Amara and the man beside her, but was stopped by the sight of the event's manager approaching.
He stopped right in front of Amara and Lorenzo, totally ignoring Celestine and Fiona as he bowed his head, showcasing his respect. "Mr. Lorenzo, it's an honor to have you here today!"
His gesture quickly made whispers and murmurs swim through the multitude of people who were present and watching.
Who was Lorenzo? What was his family background like that the manager of Hilton was bowing to him?
But their questions remained unanswered as Lorenzo merely smiled at the manager's gesture.
"Raise your head Mr. Greene. There's no need for you to be so humble. I should be the one showing my gratitude, for having me as the main guest of this grand event." "Not at all, Mr. Lorenzo. It is my greatest pleasure."
"Likewise." Lorenzo replied, his tone smooth and professional as his eyes briefly wandered around the room, stopping when his eyes landed upon Tobias who looked like he was about to burst from anger.
Smirking, he looked away and faced Amara. "Mara, I'm sure the event has started, shall we head in?"
Amara nodded her head, not even bother to take one final look at Tobias to acknowledge him. "Of course."
"Please allow me, Mr. Lorenzo, Ms. Amara."
"Sure." Lorenzo with his hand around Amara's waist, allowed the manager to lead the way, leaving Tobias behind to stare after the two, with his hands clenched.

The grand ballroom was filled with a variety of guests, all of which were dressed elegantly and sat comfortably around the luxurious tables provided.
Amara was sat at a table with
Lorenzo, enjoying her meal as the first speaker took the stage and began their speech. Apart from the occurrence at the entrance, it was safe to say Amara was enjoying her time here. Even the people she had interacted with treated her right.
Everything was going fine, until Lorenzo excused himself, Leaving her alone at their table. At that time, it was during the time when the speech was reaching it's end, and the next speaker was about to take the stage, that a voice spoke from beside her.
