At 10:05, Ella finally walked onto the stage, flanked by two bodyguards. Eric, dressed formally as well, held her hand and accompanied her to the front of the stage.
Today, Ella was wearing a formal black business suit, with her hair neatly tied up. Even though she was only a college freshman, her demeanor and appearance resembled that of a powerful businesswoman who had been navigating the corporate world for over a decade.
The crowd was secretly amazed. They had previously thought Ella was out of Eric's league, but now, seeing them together, they realized how well-matched they appeared.
Ella and Eric sat down, with the bodyguards stationed in rows, one in front and one behind them, prepared for any unexpected incidents.
Ella scanned the room briefly and immediately noticed Mason standing not far away, as well as a surprising sight of Henry.
