"And I would like us all to give a warm round of applause for our CEO and organizer of this charitable event, Greg Helenia". The guest clapped as the speaker walked off and Greg, accompanied by his wife, Gina, walked onto the stage. Gregg was a tall man, standing at six two, with one of the most handsome faces in New York. He had short brown hair and green eyes that oddly tended to sparkle when he was in the light and a seemingly perfect olive skin tone. It wasn't evident with his suit on, but he had a body as if he was sculpted from marble by one of the greats, a feature Gregg showed off everywhere except formal events. Gregg was by far the youngest and most attractive twenty three year old billionaire in New York. Despite this, Gregg walked with a strong sense of modesty, and very little indication of possessing any pride. As he took the mic he began to speak. "Thank you all for joining Gina and I for the Children with a Heart Charity Event. I'm so glad you guys have decided to join us in helping young orphans find homes and loving families who will care and support them. I am really passionate about this and it is a pleasure to see you are just as invested as I am. I want to thank Candace Reinfeild for getting the event organized and put together". He paused and broke into a wide smile showing his pearly white teeth. "We couldn't have done it without you" he said, directing his comment to a young blonde women in a blue dress, who stood in the middle of the floor. She returned the smile and raised her glass in acknowledgement to Gregg thanks. "I also want to thank the chefs in the back for making the delicious food we have been gorging ourselves with. Continue to cook your hearts out". The guests began to laugh and a few murmurs about Gregg's sense of humor traveled amongst the crowd. "And of course I want to thank my beautiful wife, for practically introducing me to this amazing organization, and completely changing my life for the better ". Gregg pulled his wife close and kissed her on the forehead. His wife, Gina, was young as well, perhaps only a year younger than Gregg. She was tall, but no where near as tall as her husband. She had long brown hair and dark brown eyes which complimented her soft beige skin which looked almost flawless. She was the oppitomy of beauty and was looked up to by almost every woman in the area. She smiled as Gregg kissed her and she wrapped her arms around his waist. "I love you" he whispered in her ear, and she smiled with complete satisfaction. "I love you too" she replied. Gregg then turned his attention back to the guest. "So I just want to say thank you once again for coming and please enjoy yourselves. We greatly appreciate all your donations and the work you guys do to contribute to this organization that I hold so dearly to my heart". With that, Gregg and Gina both walked off the stage and the guests let out a round of applause. "You were great" Gina said to Gregg once the were off the stage. Gregg smiled. "I'd have to be with such an amazing woman at my side" he replied.
