FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 232: GMCV Award Preparation

[The excitement is building as Dream Light gets ready to roll out the red carpet for the thirty-seventh GMVC award. Comedian, Mario O'Bryan will be this year's host. As always, the biggest stars from around the globe will be in attendance to celebrate this year's best movies and actors.]

The host of a celebrity talk show reported on television, snapping Joanna's attention from her bestie who was busy with her final dress fitting.

[The event, which is set to take place tomorrow evening, live, at the prestigious Premier Stars Event hall here in Salvine city has left the city buzzing with who the best overall male and female actors would be. There has been speculation that this year's female nominees for best actor might either go to Martina Lorenzi in the sci-fi movie, Apocalyptic Reign; Worlds Apart or Tina Stevens in the blockbuster action movie thriller; Irrevocable...]

"Babe, you are television again." Joanna chirped excitedly, barely able to contain her pride for her bestie and her current fame.

"Talk about my glamorous life." Tina smiled to herself while admiring her gorgeous look on the tall standing mirror.

"You look so beautiful and elegant, ma'am." The celebrity stylist affirmed, beaming at her work of creation on Tina's body.

"I know." Tina turned to the side, smacking her lips are the way the dress accentuated her curves. "This is to die for."

"Men are going to lose their heads over you tomorrow evening." Joanna stood up to check out her friend while taking pictures of the beautiful dress.

"What do you expect? They don't call me hottie for nothing." Tina's pride was above the rooftop.

However, her smile slowly faded as she listened to the female journalist compare her to her archenemy and competition, Martina Lorenzi. How she detested that lady and her ability to sway fans in her favour.

At the moment, the comments on Instagram and Twitter showed that Martina was gaining more popularity and votes by the second.

This was the main reason behind her last-minute decision to grace the bed of that old fool. Aside from using him as a pawn in her game, he had earlier assured her of swaying the votes in her favour. And with every dirty thing she had done in that hotel room including allowing the old fool to eat directly from her honey pot, she was certain of winning this year's award.

"Do you think this Martina lady will win the award like last year?" Joanna asked, expressing her fears as she noticed the dark look in Tina's eyes.

"Not this year. The award is already mine. I have worked so hard for it and no one is going to take it away from me." Tina smirked with an air of confidence that left Joanna wondering how she intended to sway people's votes.

"I believe in you." Joanna pushed her fears to the bottom of her stomach as she took her seat. "By the way, are you aware that the elusive handsome billionaire movie genius, Henry Gordon is in town?"

Bang!

Those words fell like a hammer on the centre of Tina's head, knocking off the air in her lungs and sending a cold shiver down her spine. She shuddered causing the stylist to mistakenly poke her with a pin.

"Ouch!"

"I'm so sorry ma'am." The stylist quickly apologized.

"What happened!" Joanna jumped to her feet, ready to lend a helping hand.

"Be careful with those sharp objects." Tina snapped at her angrily.

"Did she hurt you?" Joanna assessed her bestie for any signs of injury.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I guess we are done here."

"Yes ma'am, I'll take off the dress." The stylist signalled at her girls who were standing around to help her carefully take off Tina's elaborately accessorized dress without ripping it off.

Taking back her seat, Joanna repeated her question from earlier.

"He is?" Tina managed to say while avoiding Joanna's thrilled gaze.

"Are you kidding me?" Joanna arched her brow at her bestie in bewilderment. "Girl, what planet have you been living in? Every single lady in the city is talking about him. They said he arrived in the City yesterday on the morning flight. But no one has been fortunate to see him and no one knows the hotel where he is lodged. Can you imagine what it will be like to have such information at your fingertips?"

"I can't imagine?" Tina's eyes twitched in panic as she recalled Henry's disfigured face from the beating he received at the hands of Blaze. She doubted if Henry would even show up with such a bruised face for the event.

"I can't wait to see him tomorrow evening. It would be the best award night ever to steal a glimpse of that handsome face." Joanna said dreamily.

"Me too." Tina quickly excused herself to use the restroom after the dress had been taken off her.

Amelia formally got discharged, after the doctor admonished her about the importance of rest, eating right and taking her vitamins. Instead of returning to her father's room, she decided to take a walk with Eugene outside the hospital facility to clear her mind.

They both made their way into a family restaurant close to the hospital with Pascal following closely behind them.

The tantalizing aroma of a blend of different homemade meals greeted Amelia's nostrils, feeling her with a sense of warmth and hunger. She wasted no time in placing an order after taking a secluded table for four.

While she waited for her meal to arrive, Amelia decided to dial Henry's number again.

This time around, he picked up his call informing her that he was close to the hospital. But she quickly gave him her current location before dropping the call.

When the food arrived, Amelia immediately dug in taking a spoonful of mashed potato into her mouth.

Then a sudden thought hit her. She hadn't spoken to her mother-in-law for the past two days, which was kind of odd.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Eugene asked, noticing the frown on her face.

"It's weird. I haven't spoken to Mom and she hasn't called me either. I should call her."

Eugene, who was about to take a forkful of spaghetti froze in mid-air.
