Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Clinching the Award

“Next, we’re going to hand out the Best Actress Award for the 23rd Silver Fox Awards. The actress who clinched the Best Actress Award this time is… Meredith Yard!”

Streamers rained down the entire auditorium. Meredith couldn’t believe her ears. She indeed wanted the award, but she also felt that Jude was more likely to get it because the movie for which she was shortlisted was truly superb.

All cameras focused on Meredith who once again clinched the award for best actress. Meredith hesitated for a moment before she stood up. She then flashed a smile at the people around her before hugging those near her. Finally, she picked up her silver gown and sashayed up the stage.

Subsequently, the cameras even panned over Jude since she was the most promising actress for the Best Actress Award this year. When the awards ceremony announced the shortlisted actresses, many had speculated that she’d win.

There weren’t many good works this year, and that meant lesser competition. At a single glance, one could tell that the other shortlisted actresses were merely there for the sake of show since their work was right there for all to see. However, the movie in which Jude acted was unique. While it wasn’t a box office hit, her performance was favored by many influential directors, and several renowned directors even complimented her acting skills on Twitter after watching the movie. On the other hand, Meredith’s work was also quite good, but there was no significant breakthrough in her acting skills. It was average, neither good nor bad. Thus, Jude was the more likely winner, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be Meredith.

Meredith choked up a few times, but applause rang out from below the stage again and again, giving her much encouragement. Taking the trophy, she picked up the microphone. “Actually, I didn’t prepare an acceptance speech today. Too many things have happened recently that caused me to start doubting myself constantly, so I didn’t even believe that I could win this award. I hereby thank all the judges’ affirmation of me. Thank you!”
