I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 245

Even Zachary was enjoying the show with a grin. The only person who remained completely composed was Steven. He took the microphone from the host and began to announce the results, starting with third place.

He stood center stage, impeccably dressed, his handsome face exuding a natural air of refined elegance. His voice was magnetic.

“In third place, we have a tie between Mr. Marico James and Mr. Evan, with a score of 520 out of 600. Congratulations.”

The two men who were called looked ready to jump for joy as they ran to the stage to accept their awards from Zachary.

Steven’s gaze swept over the audience and landed on me for a heart-stopping moment before he continued, “In second place, we have another tie between Ms. Linda and Mr. Aaron, with a score of 530 out of 600. Congratulations.”

That bastard. He totally did that on purpose.

Linda let out a gasp of delight and rushed onto the stage, greeting Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lee warmly. Both masters responded with enthusiasm as they presented the awards.

Jonas was even more ecstatic than she was, his eyes glued to the stage. “She’s second… Does that mean I’m first?”

York shot me a worried glance.

Steven’s handsome face was impassive. “And now, for the first-place winner of this competition.”

The crowd held its breath. I felt a knot of tension in my stomach as Steven’s calm voice filled the silence.

“Ms. Zephyra, with a score of 595 out of 600, takes first place. Congratulations.”

Before I could even process it, York’s shriek erupted next to my ear.
