Chapter 26. The welcoming dinner.

 Naya was a little surprised by Putra's attitude.  His attitude this time was enough to make Naya touched.  Naya could feel how much Putra cared for her.

 "Thanks, you take care of yourself well, right?"  Naya said with a smile.

 Putra was happy to see Naya smiling sweetly.  Her smile looks perfect with a face that is as beautiful as an angel.

 "I will miss your sweet smile," said Putra looking at Naya's tiny lips.

 "No, don't keep teasing me."  Naya smacked Putra's arm.  "I'm coming in now. You go home carefully."

 "Can I still contact you?"

 "Of course, you can text or call me."

 "Ah, thank goodness."

 "But don't protest. If I reply for a long time, maybe I'm busy with this competition or there are activities" Naya explained at first, afraid to make Putra misunderstand.

 "Okay, I understand. You can come in now. Hurry in before I arrest you again," said Putra, chuckling.

 Naya immediately stepped inside, when she reached the gate, Naya looked back.  Naya waved with a smile.  Putra only replied with a smile.

 Putra is grateful that Naya will immediately enter, it is quite difficult for him to hold back his will to keep trying to hold back Naya.  He is not willing to be far from Naya, but what else can I do?  This competition is also important for Naya.  Putra can only wish Naya luck.

 Putra returned to his vehicle and drove further away from the hostel.

 In the evening, ten participants who entered the next stage attended a dinner event held by the organizer as a welcome to those who had successfully passed this stage.

 The participants were led to a large room in the dormitory building.  The dining table complete with cutlery is ready to be occupied by the participants.  One by one the participants were assisted by the servants to occupy their respective seats.  A large table with a large circle shape, allowing participants to see each other's faces.  The participants wore elegant-looking dresses with a variety of attractive colors.  Looks harmonious in their respective bodies.  Surely the participants have prepared their best dresses to attend the dinner.

 Some of them have started to familiarize themselves with participants near them.  Get acquainted and praise each other even though in their hearts they criticize other participants.  After all, they were in this place for the competition.  No one makes friends.

 Naya could see Fisa who was sitting not far from her, for a moment their eyes met but Fisa immediately looked away. She acted as if she didn't know Naya.

 I didn't expect it, Sis Fisa played her role very well.  She doesn't know me.  Alright, from now on I will follow the game.  I'll also act like I don't know him.  Inner Naya.

 The participant who sat next to Naya was gossiping with the participant next to him.  They are talking about the possibility that the CEO of Mahardika Fashion will appear at this dinner.

 "Shhh, I heard from the waitresses. They said they shouldn't make mistakes tonight, because the super handsome CEO of Mahardika Fashion is reportedly coming."

 "Really? Wow, I'm curious about that handsome prince."

 "Yes, I also hope to steal his attention. Wow, I will be guaranteed a happy life if I can be with him. Could be my big mistress."

 "I also want you to invite me. I also want to be the wife of a wealthy businessman."

 "Yes, later we will look for opportunities together. Shhh, don't share with others. This is a secret between the two of us. Later the others can join if they know our plan."

 "Yes, fine. It must be safe."

 Hemm, the CEO of Mahardika Fashion, will attend this dinner?  Well, I'm also curious to see that cruel CEO. Take a look, I will repay all of his treatment.  Because of him, my Daddy was admitted to the hospital and the company was also on the verge of collapse.  I can't wait to hit him in the face.  Repay all his actions

 Naya became uneasy, she continued to change her seat, sliding right and left.

 As soon as all the participants took their seats, the large door to the room opened again.  All eyes stared at the door, looking to find out who the hell was coming.  The participants were pounding waiting for a mysterious figure to appear from the door.  The participants were amazed by the figure of a handsome man who entered the room followed by a woman behind him.  The mysterious man then positioned himself to stand on the side of the chair which was still empty.

 "Good evening, welcome to the Mahardika Fashion modeling competition dormitory. Hopefully, all of you will live harmoniously in this hostel."

 "Introducing, I am Vano. The personal assistant of the CEO of Mahardika Fashion. I have come to represent him to give a welcome to all of you. Next is Ana who will help you in the dormitory. You can come to her if you have any questions or problems. Next, I will give it to Miss Ana. I leave my permission because I have other things to do. Good evening, enjoy your meal, "he said sweetly before leaving.

 Some of the attendees liked him immediately, making Vano their new idol.  Naya remained calm, maintained his attitude, and continued to study the battlefield.

 "Hello everyone, I am Ana. You can call me Miss Ana" said the woman in her thirties.

 "Hello miss Ana," they said together without coordinating.

 "Thank you. I will convey a little information. I have posted the rules while you are in the dormitory on the bulletin board. It is on one of the walls of the living room, a place that we will always use for meetings. All the information related to this competition,  including the schedule and other important things I will post there. I hope you are diligent in looking at the bulletin board. The main rule that you must remember is that you are prohibited from fighting or getting into fights with other participants, and cheating. For those who are caught, the organizers will not hesitate, Just to disqualify you. We are relaxed but can be firm on certain matters. All right. Let's enjoy this dinner meal." Miss Ana then snapped her fingers and not long after the waitresses started serving her dinner.

 Dinner went well.  Miss Ana can build a warm atmosphere for the participants.  They immediately became familiar with each other.

 Meanwhile, in another place, Vano entered a special room with the door tightly guarded by two burly bodyguards.

 "How? Is everything going well?"

 "Yes, they look classy and can carry themselves well."

 "Have you brought a list of participant identities?"

 "Yes, this is it." Vano handed him a black folder with a gold outline around it.

 The man rotates his chair, now he can look at Vano and start opening the folder.  His smile was painted after he opened the data sheet several times.  He looked at one CV with a photo of a girl who smiled sweetly.  Her eyes were pleasant.

 Hah!  It's been a long time since I saw this smile.  It's still the same, but is her heart still the same?  He asked himself.

 Wow, who are the characters that will appear next?  Hmm, is this the character you've been waiting for?  Let's read the rest so that you find the answer.

 Please, give a vote for this work.  Thank you very much.  ^^
