Chapter 789 Jaredâs sarcasm could be downright lethal at times.
Agnes retorted. âWhat can he possibly say to me, Jared? Weâre just friends, nothing more. Now stop being such a sourpuss.â
Agnes tried to soothe him, but Jaredâs face was still clouded over with jealousy.
Jared proposed, âHow about we head home together after the award ceremony?â
Agnes declined, âI canât, because I have an interview scheduled after âI can wait for you.â
Agnes looked into Jaredâs eyes, deep and intense, but his expression was one of resigned acceptance âAlright then, Iâll call you when Iâm done: Agnes finally agreed.
Agnes knew that after the award ceremony, there would be a grand banquet. Jared had no plans to attend, but her interview would be over in less than half an hour By that time, the banquet would still be in full swing. The media would likely still be camped out front of the banquet hall, not paying any attention to the early departures Seeing Agnes agree, Jared smiled in satisfaction.
Agnes leaned in and kissed Jared on the cheek. âReady to head out now, Mr. Jealousy? The awards ceremony is about to start Jared raised an eyebrow at her before finally releasing her.
Agnes and Jared reentered the awards ceremony one after the other, under the dimmed auditorium lights.
Jared returned to his seat, which was right next to Yolandaâs Yolanda tried to talk to him, but Jared was nonchalant and unresponsive. He only had eyes for Agnes. Yolanda couldnât stand Agnes, wishing she could just disappear from her sight.
The awards ceremony was quite predictable. There were opening performances, the entrance of the host, the presentation of numerous awards, and intermissions filled with more performances. The host was humorous, his witty jokes triggering waves of laughter and applause.
Finally, the ceremony came to its climax the announcement of the Best Actress for the Golden Gazelle Garnish Award.
The electronic screens displayed trailers of the four nominees. The auditorium lights swept back and forth over the four stunning women The host teased the audience, âWho will be the lucky lady to take home this yearâs Golden Gazelle â
The atmosphere was gradually pushed to a feverish pitch.
Suddenly, the music stopped. The host took a deep breath and announced, âI am honored to present the 23rd Golden Gazelle Garnish Award for Best Actress to Miss Sharon for her role in âSolitary Trailsâ
Sharonâs shocked face instantly appeared on the large electronic screen before being magnified.
She was surrounded by people congratulating her, but she seemed to be in a state of disbelief She was born with an ethereally beautiful face, a face that, not to say how stunning it looked at a glance, but it was undeniably soothing. Her innocent and clear eyes softened oneâs heart, making one want to cherish her. Sharon was a woman whom everyone couldnât help but adore.
The host invited, âPlease welcome Miss Sharon to the stageâ
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Sharon slowly stepped onto the stage. A beam of light shone on her, illuminating her against the dimmed auditorium. She was the center of attention, being under the spotlight and captivating everyoneâs gaze.
