The busy promotion period has passed, and the film City of Desire, starring Sophie Smith, is now set to be released.
What Sophie didn’t expect was that her performance received rave reviews from the outside world. The dia didn’t hesitate to heap praise, declaring her a rising new force capable of going international. She started to gain so fa, and her social dia followers were skyrocketing, leaving her sowhat overwheld.
"Sophie, hurry up and get your makeup done. There’s not enough ti, we’re about to walk the red carpet." Julia Brown rushed into the lounge and urged her.
She was going to attend an award ceremony, and thanks to the success of City of Desire, she was fortunate enough to be invited.
Her phone vibrated in the bag; it was a text from Edward Harrison.
Just a simple sentence: "Little Sophie, keep going, the movie is amazing."
Edward had always been the person silently supporting her from behind; there was no doubt about that.
She learned from Julia that Edward was nominated for the Best New Actor award at the film festival, and she just hoped he could win this honor.
She thought about it for a long ti, unsure of what to reply. She wanted to wish him luck, but feared it might pressure him. In the end, she simply typed, "Thank you."
She walked into the makeup room, and Wyatt Sterling was there too.
He smiled at her gently and approached her.
"Senior Brother," Sophie greeted him proactively. Speaking of which, she still owed him a big favor. Last ti, if it weren’t for his help, her procedure might not have gone so smoothly.
"Senior Brother, if you have ti, I’d like to treat you to a al to thank you for your help last ti."
"Are you still with Asher Land?"
"Hm?" Sophie was taken aback by his sudden question, but she quickly reacted a few seconds later.
She rely nodded calmly.
Wyatt’s expression was sowhat stiff; she had sacrificed too much for that man, but never received anything in return.
"Why not consider leaving him?"
Consider? Hasn’t she already considered this? It’s just that any effort and struggle amounted to nothing.
"Senior Brother, thank you for your concern, but this is my private matter, I..."
"Sophie!" Wyatt interrupted her, "You’re in love with Asher Land, aren’t you?"
Love?
She raised her head in shock, looking into his unusually focused eyes, sowhat lost.
"I’m not."
"Sophie, stop deceiving yourself."
Wyatt’s assertion left her speechless, and she silently walked over to the makeup table and sat down.
She had never faced her feelings for Asher Land, and she planned to keep avoiding it. Only then might her heart feel better, and she believed that one day, all this would co to an end.
Wyatt sowhat regretted bringing up Asher Land’s na again in front of her, as it only made their interaction more awkward.
"I’m sorry," he said softly behind her.
"It’s okay, Senior Brother."
After Sophie finished her makeup, she walked to Wyatt, who had been waiting for her for a long ti; the committee had arranged for both of them to walk the red carpet together.
The red carpet stretched over dozens of ters, the scene was glittering, with countless spotlights focused on them. For the first ti, she felt like those lights belonged to her.
She took Wyatt’s arm and descended from a stretch Bentley.
She maintained the most standard, elegant smile, waving lightly to greet the reporters and audience on both sides of the red carpet.
"Next, let’s welco the lead actors of City of Desire, the two hot idols, Wyatt Sterling and Sophie Smith."
