The laughter soon died down.
Nuelia bowed politely with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Faris. And you're right. We all know who to blame if you start forgetting your lines now."
Laughter echoed through the arena again as Faris became the target of the joke once more. Layla sighed before turning in Nuelia's direction. "I apologize if my co-host said anything strange. He was just trying to lighten the mood." She paused, her smile becoming genuinely curious. "But if I may ask, why did you choose to reveal it now?"
"It's because," Nuelia replied, "I wanted my dish to be understood in its true context. Hiding my identity would have been hiding part of the story behind it and might have caused some misunderstandings."
"Oh, I see." Layla nodded in understanding. "Then, you can continue your presentation. Good luck."
