Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1576

Aubree was in her own little world, oblivious to the glaring lights and the bustling crowd that surrounded her. The moment of truth was creeping closer-the announcement for Best Actress was just around the corner, and her nerves were all over the place. That's when Matthew quietly sidled up beside her, whispering, "Aubree, just take a deep breath. You're going to be on camera soon, so try to stay calm."

His words were exactly what she needed, grounding her and bringing her back to a place of calm. Suddenly, the whole venue lit up, signaling the grandeur of the moment.

It was time to announce the Best Actress award. This was Aubree's dream, the prize she had longed for ever since she first dipped her toes into acting-holding that coveted trophy. Yet, in her previous roles, something always felt off.

In her latest project with Casey, she wasn't even sure if she was on the right path. She just found herself lost in the art, in a state of pure, unfiltered creativity.

Watching the host on stage, rattling off names in English, her palms began to sweat. The camera zoomed in on the faces of the nominated stars. Aubree was the only Asian actress among them.

She flashed a composed smile at the camera, exuding an air of calm and grace. As the host opened the envelope, his eyebrows lifted slightly at the name inside.

Aubree's heart was in her throat, reassuring herself that even if she didn't win, it was okay. She had Matthew, someone she loved, and she was learning to love herself more each day. Everything would turn out just fine.
