Outside the Gotham Hall,many reporters camped outside waiting for the celebrities to arrive .
Soon the people they waited for finally arrived ,many esteemed guest both those from the music and acting industry arrived .
A nanny van arrived at the entrance, reporters swam over with their cameras and microphones.
A group of bodyguards came out of the second van and cleared the reporters from the way ,the next moment the door of the van open and a slender legs stepped out with her body still inside, intriguing reporters.
They all set their cameras with thousands of questions running rough their minds.
Scott Shaxin,an American Chinese,who is in Hollywood and Ave's greatest rival.
She steps out of the car elegantly,with her black leader sheath dress revealing her curves.
She flashed a smile at the cameras, the cameramen really did their jobs properly,Shaxin just smiled at the cameras flashes as she walked through the red carpet with her platform heels making her tall.
Her beauty caught the attention of other celebrities,male and female,the interviewer appointed to interview celebrities approached her .
"Wow,Shaxin you're really stunning just now I couldn't recognize you " Jean from the MBT media flattered her .
Shaxin smiled at her flattery while trying not to seem proud,she tried to be modest " It's really nothing,besides I'm not as beautiful as Ave " she said and innocently while deliberately dragging Ave into the conversation.
Jean smiled at her words,she sneered in her heart but had to remain professional.
"Talking about Ave,do you think she would win an award today?"
Shaxin smille widen "Of course,we all know that Ave is talented and won't restort to any means to win "
She smiled innocently while trying to hint at something . Jean sneered even more in heart .
"How can someone be so shameless?"
She rolled her eyes in heart before questioning
"You and Ave were nominated for the same award category,who do you think would win the award for best female actress?"
She snorted in her heart with her expression still that of innocence.
"Of course I'll win,who is Ave ?"
Of course she couldn't say that out loud,if she wanted to avoid public criticism.
"Whether or not I win or Ave wins,a win for one is a win for all,right ?"
Jean nodded her head, she remembered something and asked again "Oh,miss Shaxin last time when Ave won the award,your reaction was quite unpleasant"
"Did you and Ave have anything beef together? Cause after that award show Ave got slot of criticism because of what you said "
She deliberately put the microphone very close to her mouth,Shaxin had to step back .
Noticing she was uncomfortable, her manager quickly step in and took her away to seat .
Meanwhile,inside another nanny van,Ave removed her neck pillow.
"We are there now "
Chanelle said still typing on her tablet .
"Chanelle,I don't want to go inside" she threw a tantrum and threw the pillow at Chanelle who caught up it and drew it back at her.
"Get your ass off that seat "
"I just watched Shaxin's interview"
"So?" Ave asked nonchalantly while looking at the paparazzis outside through the car's tinted glass.
Chanelle rubbed her forehead and gave a forced smile " You're getting criticized over what she said "
Ave hissed before sighing " That's not the first and won't be the last,I don't have time to spare for her s**t ".
Chanelle sighed helplessly.
Ave was used to not bothering with anyone,she just did her thing but if you dare provoke her...
"Okay let's step out..."
Ave already opened the door before she could complete her sentence.
"There she goes " she signaled the security people.
Ave stood in front of the paparazzis. Standing under the yellow light tht surrounded the place her green princess dress hung to her waist,the dress hugged her tiny waist.
Making the dress even more gracious. Her emerald necklace and earrings fitted her neck with her unique collarbone .As she stood tall she her aura was filled with elegance taking people's breathe as she walked down the red carpet.
The paparazzis were too stunned to click their cameras.
After she entered the hall,only then did the people outside realize that they did not take a single picture.
Their face was filled with regret.
Inside the hall ,Jean spotted Ave and ran to meet her.
"Ave " she said almost out of breathe
Ave turned around and met Jean's eyes,she tried to remember what where she had seen the face.
"Hello,how may I help you?" She asked politely
She cleared her throat and organized herself " Well , it's okay you don't remember me . Well I'm Jean from MBT media"
"Oh, I'll remember now ,MBT" she replied, she totally faked to remember.
MBT? What's that?
She questioned herself, but decided to not say anything.
"Miss Ave ,I have some questions to ask ,do you mind?" she eagerly waited for Ave's reply.
Ave looked at her manager,who told her to say yes " Sure I don't mind "
"Who do you think will go house with the awed tonight?"
Ave rolled her eyes, manager Chanelle signaled her to not reply, but she ignored her .
"I thought Lee Shaxin already gave you the answer "
She replied sarcastically leaving Jean flustered.
"Sorry but I have to go " she politely left and went to her seat .
Her seat happened to be next to Shaxin on her left and Alex on her right.
She greeted the other celebrities and ignored Shaxin.
Shaxin felt that Ave was been disrespectful even though she was two months older.
"Hey,you looking dazzling "Alex complimented her,but his eyes were filled with guilt.
Ave looked at him and smiled ,that was the only time she smiled all through out the award show.
...
After the amazing performance from many artist,the award ceremony started.
Ave was bored to death,but had to remain expressionless to avoid any trouble as she was constantly being watched by reporters.
Ave tried making small talks with Alex but she always brush her off. ,Shaxin sneered when she saw that Alex was ignoring Ave.
The category for best female actress was mentioned, Shaxin's gaze became expectant,while Ave seemed uninterested.
"The winner of the best actress category in the 56th edition of Heartthrob Award goes to..."
The host paused, looked at the audience, the fans inside held their breath including Shaxin.
The host chuckled"No need to be nervous"
"Heart attack is real " he joked making the audience laugh.
He switch to his serious mode,his handsome face was shows on tje big screen,he paused his lips and looked at the card in his hands again.
"The winner is the one... and...only......."
"Yve Ave !"
The audiences gave an applaud, Ave's fan raised their red light stick to support her .
Shaxin gritted her teeth,and dug her nails inside her palm.
Jealous was evident on written over her face,she quickly composed herself and looked around to see If anyone saw her earlier.
Ave was still expressionless,she looked at Alex next to her but he avoided her gaze a again, she felt unease for no reason.
She composed herself, before going on stage.
The host gave her space to give her speech.,
"I want to thank my fans for supporting me since my debut,also my manager for always being with me"
"Oh,a big shout out to Lee Shaxin for rooting for me before I even won the award. A win for one is a win for all"
The everyone bust into laughter, except Shaxin who was red from the embarrassment.
Chanelle smiled and gave Ave a thumbs up.
"She never let herself suffer "
...
During the after party,Alex brought aside Ave.
Ave was excited and hugged him .
"Alex look I won the award "
Seeing Alex did not respond to her hug,Ave heart tightened,she exhaled and looked at the 1.8 meter man
"What's wrong Alex,I noticed you've avoiding me lately".
"Ave let's break-up" he dropped the bomb on her .
Ave stared at him confused.
"Break up ? How ?Why?"
Alex looked that the gorgeous looking lady at his front
"I... I don't want to continue our relationship again,so let's break up"
Ave smiled bitterly and voice a little choked "You want to break up,why? Did you find a new girl?"
Alex looked away in guilt.
She laughed and gave herself a self mocking smile " I really underestimated tour value,fine if you want a break up ,good "
"But don't come running back to me ,cause you won't get a chance". She walked way but not after punching him on his abdomen, leaving on the floor in pain.
This was Ave for you, she's the most carefree person,she pretends she's fine but sometimes hurt inside.
"Many men are dyeing for my attention,I'm not going to waste my time on scums" she told her self as she gets inside the van.
The van drove off to her house
