The two sides of the red carpet was covered by a sea of cameras. Although the scale of the Sky Honor Awards was the biggest, it ran just like any other awards ceremony.
As they were nominated, the attendees included two actors that had previously worked with Emma: Laszlo and Craig. And because they were both super talented actors, they were regulars at the Sky Honor Awards.
Apart from these two men, Zephaniah was also invited as a guest presenter.
So, apart from the ceremony itself, Emma was most excited by the notion of catching up with old friends…
It didn’t take long before Eric’s car pulled up at the head of the red carpet. Plenty of reporters recognized it, so their excitement immediately increased. In fact, some stood up and started snapping frantically at the car. At this time, Eric first stepped out wearing a dark blue retro suit. Afterwards…
…Emma appeared in front of everyone wearing a flowing white gown.
This was her first appearance in the public since the announcement of her pregnancy. The design of the white, deep-v-collared gown beautifully accentuated the curves of her body and the delicate light blue magnolia embroidered on the body of the gown, perfectly highlighted her air of elegance…
To ensure that Emma wasn’t cold, Eric covered her in a beige shawl, displaying his responsibilty as a personal manager. However, Eric tried his best to avoid the cameras as he did this, making his actions natural and thoughtful. If it was someone else, their caring gesture may have appeared fake.
Emma smiled. She had always been appreciative and thankful towards her man’s thoughtfulness. After all, no one’s kindness was ever a given and she was well aware of this.
“Emma, look here…”
“Emma, over here, over here…”
Emma approached the signing wall under Eric’s protection as the media requested for photos. Her popularity at this moment was higher than any top actress or actor that was present…
The host stopped the couple in their track. He wasn’t going to let this climactic moment go so easily. Above all, his questions were going to be more tricky than others, “Emma, who do you think will win The Best Newcomer Award tonight? Don’t say something too generic. Be honest with me.”
Emma had always been good with PR; everyone knew this. Plus she was famous for having a high EQ.
“If I answer you honestly, will I be exempt from answering your next question?” Emma negotiated jokingly.
“Yes, but you must answer this question properly.”
Emma let out a gentle laugh as she turned to look at Eric.
Eric never worried about Emma’s responses, so he simply looked at her in seriousness without saying a word.
“If I was to say that I don’t care if I win the award, that would be a lie. This is, after all, the best form of acknowledgment for an actor. But, if you were to ask me who I think would win, I don’t think someone that can’t be considered a proper actor would be professional enough to give their opinion. So, I can only trust in the judges.”
“I hope it is me, but if it isn’t, then it simply means that I’m not as good as someone else. It’s as simple as that.”
“Indeed…” the host smiled. He was completely convinced by Emma’s ability to play Tai Chi around a question.
Her words sounded both honest and false. On the surface, it appeared like she had said a lot, but in reality, it was almost like she hadn’t said anything at all.
Of course, the host did not put the pregnant lady in a difficult position. If something was to happen to her, he wouldn’t be able to handle the repercussions.
So, after taking a few photos, Emma was allowed into the venue of the awards ceremony. As she looked up at the big screen and saw the golden phoenix that represented the Sky Honor Awards, Emma felt a little emotional.
“Don’t be nervous,” Eric felt the sweat on Emma’s palms. So, he r*bbed her hand bet**en his comfortingly.
“If it’s not me, what should I do?” Emma asked. “I don’t like it when things are beyond my control.”
“Your competitors aren’t weak. Would you feel embarrassed if you were to lose to them?” Eric gestured to the empty seats next to her. “Both of us – especially you – have already done our best.”
Emma was aware that Eric had already gotten rid of any outside factors that may pose an obstruction, so he had already done more than enough.
If he wanted to influence the internal operations of the awards, it wasn’t impossible, but Eric knew that she wouldn’t want him to do that.
“In that case, let’s wait patiently together for the result.”
It didn’t take long before the other actors piled into the venue. Of course, actors like Craig and Laszlo, naturally received the best seats in the house. Emma clearly saw the distance bet**en herself and them.
The host of the awards ceremony was a famous variety show MC, Xaidyn Guajardo. He was cool and carefree and had a good reputation. This man practically owned every single hosting opportunity for the Sky Honor Awards. And after watching him for so many years, barely anyone found him annoying.
“Our attendees today are amazing…”
“Craig brought along his little assistant, while Emma brought along her personal manager; each person is outdoing the other. They are definitely doing well in both love and career; how admirable. More importantly, Emma and Mr. Roborts are actually attending as a family of three!”
“Xaidyn, be careful what you say. What if it is actually a family of four?” the female host beside him smiled.
“Oh, if that’s the case, then that would be even more amazing! Our Emma will need to try her best!”
“For the sake of her child, she decided to retreat from the industry. God will definitely protect her and have the best things planned for her.”
Xaidyn Guajardo spoke with complete sincerity. This was why the public did not dislike him. His blessings always came straight from the heart.
“OK, let’s stop wasting time. I’m sure everyone can’t wait for the winners to be announced…”
“Firstly, let’s welcome the Oscar award winning screenwriter and national treasure, Mr. Ferdinand Campbell, to the stage to say a few words and present our first award.”
As the crowd erupted into an applause, an old man with a head full of hair and black-framed glasses appeared on the glittery stage. He stood behind the microphone, clasped his hands together and began speaking in a loud and confident voice.
“Too many generic words have been said, so I won’t say too much. I will simply mention one thing that has sparked my interest. The competition for this year’s Best Newcomer Award has been fierce, and the popularity of the award has surpassed all the other awards this year. This is the first time this has happened on the Sky Honor Awards stage.”
“So, I decided to watch the films of the women that were nominated: Ryleigh’s ‘Glory’, Zendaya’s ‘Old Tribe’, Sabrina’s ‘Green-blooded Bullet’ and, of course, Emma’s ‘W.H.’. I also watched the film featuring the eliminated Eilene…”
“After watching all of them, I personally have a favorite. Of course, I won’t mention any names just yet. I simply want to say that this particular film made me realize that there are still people out there willing to invest their entire soul into the acting profession.”
“So, I have a deep respect for this particular actress. Because her hard work is no less than those of us that have been in the industry our entire lives.”
“This is all I’m going to say. Following on, I will be announcing the winner of the 37th Annual Sky Honor Awards Best Supporting Actress. This will be the first award for the night. Every actor starts off as a supporting character and every director and screenwriter starts off as a rookie. I hope the winner of the Best Supporting Actress will some day become the Best Actress.”
“Could everyone please look to the screen for the final results!”
As soon as Ferdinand finished speaking, the screen behind him began naming the nominees. Of course, a spotlight lit up each of the women one at a time. After a few rotations, the spotlight finally stopped on one of the women as the name of the award recipient appeared on the big screen.
During this time, Emma’s gaze happened to fall upon a certain person. A person that she had met once, but left a lasting imp**ssion.
Quillan.
This so-called ‘President of the Film Association’ and top grade actor and director, was currently sitting proudly, not too far from her.
Although the incident bet**en them had happened quite some time ago, Nathan’s mother and her husband, Director Zellmann, had used this man to slander her in the past. At that time, Eric had also said a few words to refute against him.
At that time, Mrs. Davis had mentioned that this man was a judge for the Sky Honor Awards.
After such a long period of time, Emma had already forgotten about this. But, the industry was small…
“What’s wrong?” Eric noticed something wasn’t right.
Emma pointed to the man with her chin and Eric followed the direction of her gaze. As soon as he saw Quillan, he knew what she was thinking.
