The important guest and investors alight at the back of the ribbon and each hold scissors.
Nickel, the Managing Director, stand at the middle of the formation while on his right is Michael, Orb representative.
The two of them stood side by side to represent their companies.
"Nice to meet you again." Nickel stretches his hand to Michael for a handshake.
"We meet again." The exchange of words of these two stop went the photographer signaled then counted one to three to take pictures.
Usher and usherettes a.s.sembled the guest into groups to pose behind the ribbon before Nickel and Michael cut the ribbon.
After these groups finished posing behind the stretched ribbon.
"Let us now cut the ribbon." Our two representatives simultaneously cut the ribbon, followed by a loud applause from the audience.
Company tour followed the ribbon cutting ceremony. Following the groupings during the picture-taking, usher and usherettes, Asian-Sealed Corporation's employee, tour and explain the different department, facilities and equipment that can be found inside the building.
The tour lasted for about an hour and a half when each group arrived to the company lobby. Zoey, who is standing on stage, welcomed the groups of people arrived.
"On behalf of Asian-Sealed Corporation and Orb, we would like to thank each of you for taking time out of your busy schedule today. Thank You. Let the feast begin."
Tables and chairs were set for the dinner party.
__
For the entire ceremony, Nickel stayed beside Zoey while she is hosting. Employees thought that he was monitoring Zoey while hosting, or maybe it was the right manner to stand there to represent the company but neither of the two were correct.
He stayed beside Zoey because he wanted to always be near her. There is this feeling he has that whenever he is near her he feels calm. His anxiety and agitation from everything disappeared.
He started having this calmness near her during the wedding. Although he adored her since their university days, the wedding was their first ever encounter with each other. Saying the first time Zoey knew his existence.
Actually he is just shy to introduce himself to Zoey back then and kept on saying to himself that there will have the time you will know me.
"I didn't know you are good at hosting." Nickel took the courage to start a conversation to Zoey while they are seated on the dinner table.
"I didn't know it as well. It was all impromptu because you just me to take the place of Gelo an hour because our ceremony." Zoey pouted when she remembered how he asked her to take the place of their a.s.signed emcee.
Nickel beamed a bright smile when he saw how Zoey pouted. He restrains himself to pinch her cheeks as a lot of people around them.
"If only I knew you were this good, I should have hired you every time our organization have a party or event during university days."
'That is right' Zoey suddenly experienced a eureka feeling after Nickel's words.
"Oh yeah! Exactly! How come I didn't know you during university days. As far as I remember your course is closely related to mine, but how I didn't know your name back then?"
Nickel wanted to answer her, but he was interrupted by her next question.
"And also were both working in the same office for almost five years!"
Questions flooded Zoey when she remembered how she didn't know him.
Nickel replied to her with a very ambiguous answer.
"Because you are so popular and don't have a time to pay attention to a person like me."
"Huh?" Said by a confused Zoey.
She yearned to ask him again, but an investor approached them a start talking to Nickel. And because it was, a company related topics; it is awkward for her to but in.
Zoey continued munching her meal, but before she finished what's on her plate. Michael bellied up her place.
"What a coincidence Zoey? Perhaps heaven also wanted us to be closer again. Don't you think?" He shamelessly said this words thinking that the heaven is helping him to win her back. He crossed-leg and lean her head on his hand over the table while watching her eating.
When Zoey sensed his presence and saw that on the chair Nickel occupied a while ago, she wanted to step away from him as soon as possible but her life principle is not to show that the opponent had a winning hand over you don't ever show your weak spot to the other.
To follow her life principle up to this moment, Zoey decided to ignore him and act as he is not around.
