After the proposal was a success, the mall staff followed the original plan and fired off the confetti cannons. With a loud bang, Esther squealed and jumped into Joel’s arms.
They then shared a deep, passionate kiss in the middle of the crowd’s envious stares, completely oblivious to the world around them. As the clock struck midnight, fireworks burst into the sky behind them.
The mall’s speakers chimed in, “Congratulations to the happy couple for winning the Best Couple Award! Enjoy a five-day, four-night luxury honeymoon trip worth fifty thousand dollars!”
I took a deep breath and turned to my coworker. “I’ll go give them their prize.”
I grabbed the prize voucher and walked over to the two of them. They were still lost in each other’s eyes, completely unaware of my presence.
Coldly, I said, “Congratulations, Mr. Whitaker.”
