Shock filled Alzen's face, he unconsciously clenched the glass in his hand while a full bucket of emotions are swirling inside him.

Am I ... dreaming? Is this a dream? If yes, then I will gladly sleep forever. Alzen thought.

"Ooohh, President Yan is wearing the elegant mermaid gown which costs my combined salary from this moment upto my retirement! That was Hades' best masterpiece called "Sakura", and as far as know, many wealthy people tried to get it so they offered sky high prices but no avail! Impressing, President Yan!"

Halos makalimutan na ng mga reporters na kumuha ng litrato dahil sa gulat. Why? Because they are expecting to see an ugly fat man who looks like a goon with a big round belly. And what more? This is a woman!

Ibang iba talaga sa inaasahan nila ang nasa harapan nila ngayon, maging ang mga board members ng Moonlight Corporation ay hindi makapaniwala. Sa lahat ng mga meeting nila ay si Lissa ang palaging umaattend, kaya naman ito ang unang beses na nakita nila ang presidente ng kanilang kumpanya.

Everybody began to size up the woman with Chairman Crissanto.

She is wearing an off-shoulder peach colored mermaid gown that perfectly hugged her body. There is an open slit from the upper thigh down to the floor, her slender and fair leg is also wearing a jewelry that matches her earrings.

The design of the gown is on the right side── just above the slit── those are sakura (cherry blossoms) flowers made by tons of high quality pink diamonds.

She is wearing a 5-inches pointed glass heels, her hair is on a half updo with the gold phoenix necklace pinned on it.

Her face has a light make-up, enough to give her an elegant look, especially her eyes that is wearing a peach colored contact lens.

She is smiling so sweetly while walking on the red carpet, as if she was born to be on the spotlight. She looks like a real princess that came to life. She looks so sexy and classy, elegant yet simple at the same time.

When they reached the stage where the red carpet ends, the host didn't let himself miss this chance of interviewing her.

"A very pleasant evening to you, Chairman Crissanto." Bati niya at nginitian lamang siya nito. "An elegant evening to you Miss Elyan Celestial, also known as President Yan. Welcome to our humble celebration!"

"Thank you." Sagot ni Elyan na hindi nawawala ang ngiti.

"If you don't mind, can I have a few questions for you?"

Napaisip saglit si Elyan bago tumango, "Sure" wala namang problema, and besides, mas madaling maghanap mula dito sa stage. Nasa'n na ba kasi 'yon?

"Great! For the first question, may we know why do you keep yourself away from the public's eye?"

"I want to run a company, not to become a celebrity." She answered directly. "I mean, my profit will not increase just by showing my pictures to the public everyday, right?" She's referring to the magazines na may mukha ng mga sikat at successful na businessman, at yung mga panay ang post ng picture sa facebook, ig at twitter.

"Hahahaha, so this is really President Yan as the rumor says hahahaha──" Natigilan ang pagtawa ng host nang mapagtanto niya na double meaning pala yung nasabi niya.

"Ahm, I'm sorry I mean──"

"It's okay, it's true anyway. I'm always after profit, hot-tempered and I also have a gangster attitude. But I'm sorry if I disappoint you guys about my appearance, I can't really make myself look like a fat burglar just to satisfy you." She also answered him with a double meaning.
