章 75: Chapter 75

Ashley noticed the faces of her family and realized what was happening.  She quickly changed the manner of how she was speaking, "Sir, it's ok. I can manage!" Then she faces Arman.

"Thank you, elder brother Arman, but I can do it.  I just faltered because I was too excited. Hahaha!" She straightened her back and breathed deeply before walking straight towards the stage.

The host gave offered his hand to Ashley to help her go up the stage.  Ashley accepted while smiling, demurely, "Thank you!" She gently said to the host. 

"You're welcome!" The host responded with a sweet smile while looking at Ashley.  This did not go unnoticed by Tanaga, and his face soured again, which Arman saw.

Sophia welcomed Ashley with a beautiful smile as she went up the stage.  She held Ashley's hand and guided her towards the microphone. She could clearly sense Ashley's nervousness.
