Chapter 510
The night wind rustled through Allison’s hair. Her strands, once held in place by the strength of
hairspray, were now tousled and flowing. A few strands brushed against her cheek, painting a picture of
effortless beauty. Allison lightly pushed her hair behind her ears, and her gaze lowered. A photographer
managed to capture these moments in a few stunning shots.
Many media outlets were waiting for the showstopper, the crème de la crème, and of course… Lucian.
Rumor had it that Lucian was attending tonight, but it was unclear whether this elusive man would
grace the red carpet.
Media personnel weren’t typically concerned with lesser-known celebrities, but one journalist dutifully
asked the burning question on everyone’s lips. “There’s been talk on Twitter about you joining Wade’s
upcoming mystery film. Any truth to that?”
The reporter’s words sent a ripple of anticipation through the crowd. Wade’s script for “Apocalypse” had
been in the works for three years, making it a highly coveted project. Initially, it was assumed that
Kayleigh would land the lead female role with a talented up-and-comer as the male lead. However,
even two months prior, Wade hadn’t shown any signs of moving forward with the project.
Suddenly, a gossip-filled tweet revealed that Epic Entertainment’s fresh signee, Allison, was expected
to land the female lead role in Wade’s movie.
This news stirred a whirlwind of chatter. Why would Wade pick a newcomer as his leading lady?
Wade’s leading ladies were typically top-tier actresses with a wealth of experience. Wade had publicly
stated that every single one of his films deserved the utmost attention and care for his fans and for
himself. So, why would he gamble with a newcomer?
Many were left wondering. Who was this Allison? What kind of influence did she have that made Wade
bend his rules? Did she have a powerful backing that made her an exception?
Some skeptics doubted the news. How could a newbie land such a prime opportunity?
Yet, others defended the news. Allison didn’t have any fans, so what could she get from this if it’s fake
news? It was evident that the news was true.
All eyes were on Allison, eagerly awaiting her response.
The movie was indeed green-lit. However, remembering Emma’s caution about not revealing anything
before the official announcement, Allison responded, “You’ll find out next month.”
Allison stepped off the red carpet, Emma handed her a shawl, and they moved to the inner area.
About 10 minutes after Allison’s departure, other female stars began to walk the red carpet. Sensing
potential drama, the media quickly asked the host if there had been any backstage incidents. The host
assured them that nothing was amiss, but veteran media personnel weren’t easily fooled. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The host tried to deflect. “Everyone’s tired, and I’m sure you all are too. Let’s take a break and enjoy a
Joyful Brew. Here’s to a vibrant future.”
As the host carried on with the sponsor’s ad, attendants served the media their coffee.
Only after 10 minutes did the red carpet event resume.
Backstage, Patty was dealing with an issue between Nicki and Kimberly. The importance of tonight’s
banquet was undeniable, and any mishaps meant she would be held accountable. Even Patty, who
was responsible for the red carpet event, was on edge. She asked Nicki, with her eyes looking sharp.
“Nicki, you were supposed to walk the red carpet. Why didn’t you?”
Nicki’s face paled. Ever since she won the Best Supporting Actress award, her career had skyrocketed,
but her fame had not. She looked down on Kimberly, who relied on her popularity to get ahead. Being
overshadowed by Kimberly on the red carpet was something she couldn’t bear.
