Chapter 549: The Gala (5)

**Hey Guys, moving forward, Wed and Sunday will be one 1500-1600 word Chapter; with my other job, it is getting too tough to pump out two on those days, so 12 chapters a week from now on instead of 14. **

Upon leaving the Limo, Geralt, Garrison, and Kurza were innodated by a wave of flash photography and noisy reporters. However, the attention quickly shifted away from them as Benny and Melody stepped out next. 

Benny visibly flinched as he suddenly became the center of attention but only faltered for a moment before remembering Cynrik's words before he got out of the Limo. 

In an instant, his face became stoic as he placed his left hand over Melody's right, which was nestled in the crook of his elbow.

In contrast, Melody seemed perfectly adjusted and put up the front of a charming young lady as she greeted the reporters she recognized and wore a bright smile.
