The Host 소설 & 이야기

’’ He yelled out in a jovial manner, as we made our way towards the stage. ‘‘No!’’ I shook my head, laughing. ‘‘I'm not very good at playing games!’’ But Julian didn't listen to me. He grabbed hold of me and we made our way through the swarm of people until we were standing in front of the stage, where I could see the host holding the microphone. I was able to recognize him as the host of a program on one of the New York television stations.

He says, voice surprisingly gentle. He glances at River one more time, before turning to Thomas. Who nodded at him, before following right behind him. Soon, the lights in the hall slowly dimmed, before a spotlight landed directly on the stage. To River's surprise, it was Hayden standing right there instead of the host. Confusion slowly clouded her mind, what the hell was going on? "Greetings ladies and gentlemen, I humbly welcome you all as your host." He starts, and a round of applause follows after. River's eyes scan the crowd in confusion, what was happening?

The moment we enter, the hostess perks up, her eyes grazing appreciatively over Luca. "Right this way, Mr. Volkanov. Your usual table is all ready for you." "Thank you, Bettina," Luca says and places a hand on my back, guiding me through the dining room. As we pass by other tables, several people nod or greet Luca. He's a man of importance and, like me, it has everything to do with his last name. He may be the youngest Volkanov, but people respect and fear Matthias.

He stood up and kissed me tenderly. I heard the cheers and clapping from the background. The staff of our ranch gathered to cheer with us. "Thank you all!" Heath said to everyone! --- We went back to the mansion after we finished cleaning the entire venue. Noemi and Dana are still awake. "Why you two haven't slept yet? It's already late," I asked them. "In case you get hungry, no one will be here to serve you," Dana replied. "Don't worry about us, Dana; we can feed ourselves. We are adults now. You both can go to sleep. You're both tired," Heath told them.

He had now let Elvira stand on her own. Elvira was the first to stomp out. I could imagine how upset she was, but that was none of my business. I didn't ask her to come in the first place. Kelvin exhaled sharply before he ambled after Elvira, obviously. ~~~~~~~~ “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, thank you for honoring our invitation and making it to our TV show. I am Hostess Gabriella and I will be asking the both of you a few questions which would help all of us here to learn.” The hostess uttered, a warm smile spread across her lips as she glanced through some papers with her.

It was Abner who exclaimed first, clapping his hands before laughing. “Haha! How exciting!” Riley said before cracking in her seat. The audience also roared, expressing excitement, especially those who knew Anthony. Renee snapped her head in Raelyn’s direction as a form of objection, but her sister only shrugged and said, “We have to do as the host said, Renee. He knows what he is doing.” “Precisely!” The host proclaimed. He winked at Raelyn, saying, “I know exactly what I am doing. I bring couples together, torching their love so they will hire me to host their wedding! I’m a host and a cupid on the side!”

gesture, indicating that their team leader had arrived. The host caught the signal and raised the microphone, addressing the audience: "I bet you’re all getting tired of looking at me and can’t wait for me to leave, am I right?" The audience chuckled but said nothing. "Well, your wish is granted! I’m stepping down now, so don’t miss me too much… But before I go, I’ve invited a very special guest. And no, I’m not talking about weight—I'm talking about status!" Laughter rippled through the crowd.
