Chapter 41: I Hope You're Ready.
Ava's Pov:
The party slowly started to calm down after Leon's speech.
People were still talking and drinking, but a lot of them were already heading out. Leon came back to me with that same confident smile he had on stage.
"You survived," he said.
"Barely," I replied.
He laughed.
"You did great."
"I didn't even do anything."
"You're here. That was enough."
I rolled my eyes but I couldn't stop smiling.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yes, please."
He placed his hand on my back as we started walking toward the exit. A few people stopped us along the way to congratulate him again. Some of them looked at me with curiosity, but none of them asked questions.
When we finally reached the entrance, the doors opened again.
A woman walked in.
I knew who it was immediately.
Brielle.
She looked exactly the same as the pictures I had seen. Perfect hair, perfect dress, and the same confident look on her face.
Leon stopped walking.
