Despite his bafflement, the host nodded, " Sure. Eh...sorry, Ms. Reed. I'm afraid | don't follow you." Scarlett asked, "May | have a deck of cards? The host was about to ask something, but he forbore from doing so when he got the hint from the supervisor that he would oblige her.
"Okay, just a minute." Whatever Scarlett asked for, they would meet her requirements. After all, nothing was more important than keeping her and Raymond on stage.
The staff soon came with the cards, and the host handed them to Scarlett.

Scarlett took out a pen from her bag, wrote " Suny" on a card, and showed it to the host," | wrote something on this card. The audience that gets this card later will be awarded the prize." This proposal threw the audience into an uproar.
The approach was more attractive than the mall organizers' idea of the audience competing for prizes by playing games.
It was the luck of the draw. That was so exciting! Scarlett smiled and said to the host, "Would you please take a picture of this card?" It was a way to prevent someone from forging a card to claim the prize. If the prize wasn’t given to the cheat, he would cause trouble.
That was a good idea. Except for the host and Scarlett, no one knew what was on the card. Taking photos could facilitate the staff to identify the authenticity of the card.
The host took a picture of the card.
Scarlett then mixed the card in with the others and moved to the edge of the stage to throw them off.
The mall was seething with excitement.

Scarlett backed towards Raymond, took a look at him, and said to the host, "Well, | did my part. Good luck." With that, she stepped down from the stage with Raymond.
Before the host opened his mouth to say something, they had left the stage.
They attracted a lot of attention when they were on stage.
Hardly had they got off the stage than several women came to them, "Excuse me, are you stars? Can | take a photo of you and me 7" These girls thought. They're awful pretty! If they are in the showbiz, they must be superstars." 'It doesn't matter if they're not stars. There are few opportunities to meet such a charming couple. If | take a picture with them, | can brag to my friends later!" Scarlett shook her head with a smile," We're not stars. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid we can't meet your request." After that, Scarlett looked at Raymond, holding his gaze.
Then, they stepped out of the crowd tacitly.
