This early update is dedicated to the sweet reader @VishakhaSingh865 who read my story thrice already🫶🏻

Recap

     There are three pairs of six eyes of the girls were about to jump out of their sockets when they heard the announcement,

"..Now we would like to call upon our honourable and distinguished guests to felicitate the award winners.

Let's welcome Mr Philips Kingston and
Mr Henry Kingston on to the stage"

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Julie's entire system came to a standstill when she clearly zoomed on the guests.
"Julie,even if all the lucky stars were on your side, you wouldn't get such a chance. Out of million people, the two most important ones who has to witness your success is here to give away this highest award to you. One who questioned your worth and chased you away by manipulation and the other one is your most favourite person who will be truly happy to see you succeed in life" Chelsea said proudly.
"We are going to gift you something very valuable and beautiful once you come down with your award, you are definitely going to love it" Angela said with a wink.

     One minute AV was played for the awardees' about their contribution and inspiring story behind their nomination. Julie' AV had the nicest words from her clients who were saved by her from financial collapse, snippets from the park, where she plays with the kids, organising games for them, working on her reports and her evening visits to the university library.

     The MC called out Julie when her heart was pounding loudly, she gracefully walked up the stage, locking her eyes with the only person she ever admired, loved and wanted to see. Meeting him after almost a year in person made every fibre in her body to charge up and electrified. His handsome face, his captivating smile clenched her heart. If someone's look could comfort you, embrace your insecurities, make you feel the warmth, it was exactly what Julie was feeling right now from Mr Kingston. His ravishing smile just felt fresh and 'God! how much I missed him' she thought. She felt like she is seeing the light after years and he was the magic spell that would heal all her wounds.

Henry's POV

     The invitation to attend the United Nations Conference on global business operation and the ceremony to felicitate the inspiring youth has been received a week ago. Only a day back I came to know that my grandfather has also been invited for this event.

     I have finished the Conference by morning, refreshed and came back for the ceremony in the evening. I carefully avoided my grandfather by meeting up with other guests.

     Once the AV commenced, it took no time for me to realise who it was about. She always carries the charm with her, had never let her spark fade, she is more like a butterfly that flutters around and beautify the place where ever it is. Her hard work, dedication, compassion had brought her to this place, where United Nations had identified her work and recognised it with this award. I always know that she had the brightest future. By giving her the smallest of hands, she would climb the highest with her relentless desire and passion towards work.

      Julie walked elegantly in a gorgeous peach gown to the stage. Every step she took closer to me and looking at her mesmerising blue eyes after a year, a fresh sense of love, fondness, delight, desire, happiness radiated throughout my body. The warmth and tenderness I feel in her presence is impeccable. She has the power to both calm my soul and stir a tornado in me. I would be wrong if I believed that the attraction for her would have died down after so many months of not seeing her. My eyes landed on the butterfly charm that I gifted her, she got my line of vision and gave the prettiest smile for me.
