THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTERS 70. Dian Wijaya

***Ballroom hotel birthday celebration venue Wijaya Company***

Stefan was stunned for a moment when he saw Kelvin also in the hotel ballroom. Kelvin stands side by side with Natasha.

Kelvin was wearing a formal suit, but the sunglasses did not come off his face.

"Why did Kelvin leave Dian alone in the apartment?" inner Stefan.

Stefan suspects Kelvin is one of the celebrities invited to the Wijaya Company birthday celebration because there are indeed several local celebrities who are also present there.

The host smiled broadly at the sight of all the invited guests already gathered below the stage.

The bright and sparkling lights make the stage look luxurious and elegant.

Some of the hotel's waiters carried trays containing red wine glasses spread around the invited guests so that in a short time each of their hands was already holding a glass of red wine.

"Let's give a standing ovation to Mr. Jackson and Mrs Rossy" the host said from the stage.

A standing ovation echoed inside the hotel's ballroom. Jackson stood upright holding tightly onto Rossy's hand which was embracing his arm. They both went on stage. The host gave Jackson a microphone.

The beautiful sound of music stopped suddenly to give pause to Jackson speaking on stage. All the invited guests knew the peak of the event had already begun by now.

"I thank the invited guests who came to the Wijaya Company's birthday celebration. Thank you all the support that makes Wijaya Company advanced rapidly and has many subsidiaries in the country and abroad!" jackson said in a firm and charismatic voice.

A boisterous applause echoed again in the hotel's ballroom in reaction to Jackson's remarks.

The host handed Jackson a glass of red wine. Jackson held the feet of the wine glass and raised it high.

"Let's toast together on this impressive good day. Cheer!" said Jackson.

"Cheers!" The invited guests raised the glasses together and gulped down the wine inside.

Jackson smiled faintly at the enthusiasm of all the invited guests, then looked towards Chandra. Chandra gave a nodding head gesture to Jackson.

"On this happy day, I will announce two important things!" said Jackson.

The guests looked at each other. They were wondering what Jackson was trying to say and it was definitely big news. Even the reporters were on stand by holding their respective cameras tightly to record clearly two important announcements from Jackson.

"Sandra, Rina!" call Jackson while waving his hand at the pair of lovebirds.

Chandra holds Sherina's hand up the stage. They were standing next to Jackson and Rossy.

"You all must have known the news of rumors circulating lately. The two have been dating for more than two years. Today I am officially announcing my son, Chandra will be engaged to Sherina, daughter of master Adrian and mistress Raisa!" said Jackson.

The reporters' camera flash flashes, photographing Chandra and Sherina. There were even reporters who pointed their cameras at Adrian and Raisa who were standing below the stage. Adrian and Raisa smiled kindly, letting the reporters take their photos.

Laura, Gisel, and Anastasia were overjoyed by Jackson's announcement. The three of them had already imagined Dian's annoyed and angry face upon learning of this reality.

Stefan's face became grim. His hand held the wine glass tightly. "Dating two more years? What about Dian?" inner Stefan.

"The second announcement was about a young girl named Dian. I'm sure you all know him from the news that has spread lately" Jackson said, staring intently at Adi Bramasta at a glance.

The invited guests fell silent, waiting for the continuation of Jackson's speech. They suspect that at the big event and in front of the reporters, Jackson will definitely clarify the scandal that befell Chandra and of course Dian who became the victim.

Adi Bramasta smiled haughtily and was sure one hundred percent of her antiques would be returned by Dian after the incident tonight.

Anastasia and Gisel spread their gaze around the ballroom to look for Dian.

Anastasia pulled Laura's arm back from Stefan. "Ma! Why hasn't Dian appeared on stage yet?" anastasia asked in a small voice.

Dian's words in the toilet made Anastasia believe Dian would make a scene on stage.

"Maybe he's already been chased out by the Wijaya Family's bodyguards. They can't possibly let a time bomb go off at this important event" Laura replied, smartass.

"True, too" Anastasia said in a disappointed tone because there was no more exciting performances.

While Gisel glanced at Stefan. The young man looked straight up at the stage with an extremely cold face. Even his body looks tense.

Gisel bites her lower lip spontaneously out of annoyance with Stefan's reaction to Dian's related announcement. His little heart felt uneasy and uneasy.

"Dian served as the deputy CEO of Jayanata Company and managed to get AI project cooperation with Alpha Company. Dian's workmanship is amazing and her relationship with Chandra, isn't a relationship that's out there!" said Jackson.

The ballroom was quiet. The invited guests and reporters wondered inwardly what Jackson meant.

"On this big day, I'm going to introduce Dian to all of you" Jackson continued.

Jackson, Rossy, Chandra and Sherina stared at the end of the stage, where the tightly shut door was wide open.

Dian was wearing a gold-encrusted diamond dress with a long, golden tail. A large and beautiful necklace of jewels adorned the neckline of the young girl.

Dian walked calmly, gracefully, and confidently. As she went up on stage, Dian lifted her skirt slightly easily and walked over to Jackson.

Chandra and Sherina slide to the side, setting aside a place for Dian to stand by Jackson's side. A small smile decorated at the corner of their lips all that were on the stage.

The flash lights from the camera of the reporters lit up and competed with each other to get the best photo because the moment on stage today is very inversely proportional to the hot gossip circulating outside these few days.

Adi's face became grim and gave a sudden bad feeling, while Stefan did not blink an eye once and focused on looking at Dian who stood confidently on stage.

Little heart Stefan was happy to see Dian's condition was very good and not affected by bad rumors circulating out there.

While Laura, Gisel, and Anastasia clenched both hands tightly and stared hatefully and enviously at Dian.

"Damn it! That nice jewel necklace doesn't suit him!" inner Anastasia.

***

Jackson raised his right hand so the reporters stopped the camera shots simultaneously. Their hearts were pounding and curious about the announcement from Jackson's mouth about Dian.

"I introduce you all, Dian! Her full name is Dian Wijaya! My only daughter!" jackson said in a clear and firm voice.

The atmosphere of the hotel ballroom became quiet. Everyone under the stage had the same facial expression: a combination of surprise and disbelief.

Adi Bramasta was most shocked by this fact, even his body retreated backwards a few steps and was quickly restrained by Stefan standing nearby.

Although Stefan was also surprised by Jackson's words, but he was able to master the feelings of his heart quickly.

Meanwhile Laura, Anastasia, and Gisel become restless.

Chandra took the microphone from Jackson's hand. " There's one more little announcement from me" Chandra said as she stared at the shocked expressions of everyone below the stage.

"All my shares in Jayanata Company were transferred to Dian. Starting tonight Dian is the largest shareholder and also the CEO of Jayanata Company!" Chandra.

"I believe Jayanata Company will grow rapidly like the Wijaya Company under the leadership of Dian," said Jackson.

The sound of a standing ovation echoed inside the hotel's ballroom. The invited guests also gave various kinds of congratulations to Dian.

All the reporters were busy shooting cameras onto the stage. There are even some who have already posted to social media this spectacular news.

Stefan pulled Adi who looked pale and limp towards the available seating in the hotel ballroom. Laura, Anastasia, and Gisel sat there.

"Sia! Take a glass of water for grandpa!" stefan's orders.

Anastasia circulated her gaze around with the intention of calling the hotel maid to deliver water, but there was not a single hotel maid around them.

The hotel servants joined the crowd of people who were under the stage.

Anastasia snorted in annoyance and stood up from the seat to fetch some water. His pair of eyes looked vengefully at Dian who stood on the stage and became the center of attention at this moment.

"Fa! Dian is an orphan girl. How could she be Jackson Wijaya's daughter?" ask Laura.

"Shut up! Aren't there enough problems you've created?" reprimand Adi while holding her chest that hurts. Laura lowered her head and was silent a thousand languages.

Now the old man realized the main reason Jackson invited him to the Wijaya Company's birthday celebration, while Stefan also got an answer why Jackson and Chandra were cold to him.

All because of his mistake wasted Dian for eleven months so he understood Jackson and Chandra's anger towards him.

"It's only fitting that Chandra loves Dian because of her younger sister Dian" Stefan said.
