The awards ceremony had begun. They were now announcing the award categories along with the winners in succession.
Sophia’s nervous hands subconsciously pulled on Judge’s fur as the results were being revealed.
As expected, Michael’s movie won the awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Screenplay which immediately became a trending topic.
When Sophia saw the announcement, she immediately looked down at her phone to send out a tweet. Fortunately, she had already made a draft of her tweet and only had to make a few adjustments before sending it out. She wanted to deliver the good news as early as possible.
He was the second Best Actor winner from Cethos and also the only Cethos celebrity to win the title for the second time.
No, he might even be the first in all of Asia!
Feeling overjoyed, Sophia started to send out tweets with her fur-covered and trembling hands.
Michael reached the ultimate achievement as an actor and had even surpassed Elizabeth Murray. Standing at a new peak in the industry, he was now a superstar at the center of the world’s attention.
With the Oscar in his hands, Taylor looked at the camera and began his acceptance speech in a fluent British accent.
“I’m a man of film. I don’t hope for my movies to only be a source of entertainment for the mass audience, but also for them to be able to relive the glorious days of the past, to contemplate the darkness within human nature, and to make a change in this world. For being able to stand here today, I want to first thank my mother, Elizabeth Murray, who gave me the gift of performing. I would also like to thank my father, a soldier who had lost his life when I was very young. He was the one who taught me determination and to never give up in times of failure. I also want to thank my wife for being by my side and supporting me all these years.”
He looked into the camera with a profound gaze as if he was talking to Sophia.
Listening to his speech, Sophia suddenly burst into tears and buried her face in Celine’s embrace as she continued to cry.
Meanwhile, Celine was munching on some seeds. When his speech ended, she complained, “He didn’t mention my name! Why didn’t he mention me?”
Stanley, who was watching the live broadcast, thought, Why didn’t he mention you? Can’t you see why?
But he did not say anything out of fear that he might get beaten.
Once the live broadcast ended, everyone prepared to leave. Celine put down the sunflower seeds and went up to Sam with a coy look. “Young man, which room are you staying in tonight?”
Sam felt chills all over. “Work came up at the office. I have to go now.”
He quickly went back to the guest room to change, then proceeded to make his way out in a hurry. Initially, he wanted to take the chance to stay for the night, but Celine had terrified him. Thus, he quickly left, leaving the dog behind as usual.
Before he left, he deliberately said, “I’ll be going overseas for a few days. Please look after Corrado for me.”
Sophia nodded. “Of course, no problem. It’s not a big deal.”
These days, if Sam was not on a business trip overseas, he was on his way to a business trip. Whenever he did return to Bayside City, he was always buried in work. Therefore, Corrado continued to stay at Sophia’s place. Every time Sam came back from a business trip or before he went on one, he would drop by to see Corrado and have a meal. Because it was late that night, and Sophia had invited him over to watch the Oscars, she was willing to let him stay for the night and even let him wear a new pair of pajamas that Michael had never worn before. Since she prepared heaps of pajamas for Michael, he was unable to wear all of them anyway.
By the time the awards ceremony ended, it was already eleven at night. A few others chose to stay at her place instead of going home, so it was not a big deal if Sam stayed as well.
Moreover, from Sophia’s standpoint, Sam was a generation older than her. It was not convenient for him to drive home in the middle of the night. He was better off sleeping in her living room.
Sam also wanted to stay, but unfortunately, he was frightened off by Celine who came home all of a sudden.
From the back, Celine and Justin silently watched Sophia send Sam off.
Isn’t Sam the 9th Old Master of the Edwards Family?
How did he and Sophia get to know each other?
…
If you ever come again, Sam, don’t get mad at me for locking you up with Celine!
