Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 655 No Lies Told

She originally planned to slip away while Miles was being interviewed, but before she could take two steps, she saw Manuel's gesture, pointing to the seat beside him.

She waited with a pained expression for Miles to finish answering the question, and then the two of them walked together towards Manuel.

"Manuel.." she said, trying to act coquettishly.

Manuel raised his hand to signal her to be quiet, "How did you come here? Did you come with him?"

Ever since the last time Miles used his own arm to protect Serina from danger, her opinion of him had changed for the better.

’Manuel, don't blame him. It was me who forced him to bring me here. I knew you and Ainsley were coming to Seattle and that you had things to do, but you just wouldn't tell me. I want to tell you both that I can help too. I really want to help you guys, that's why I asked Miles to bring me along,” Serina said, glancing at Miles.

Miles immediately wanted to protect her, "Mr. Gage, you can scold me if you want, but Serina is just a child. Besides, I can take care of her at the charity dinner. Not only does she want to help you, but I also want to..."

He always wanted to help, knowing that Manuel liked Ainsley. So, he was especially eager to show off in front of them, thinking that it might lead to a better acceptance of him being with Serina.

Manuel nodded at him, "Alright, have a seat first."

Once everyone had arrived, the award ceremony began. The first award presented was the Best Newcomer Award, which didn't hold much prestige. These awards were mainly aimed at encouraging new artists from the organizing company, and other companies didn't pay much attention to them.

At last, it was time to announce the Best Actor. As everyone looked at Miles, he seemed confident and poised. The next moment, as expected, his name was called out, "The Best Actor, Miles Reynolds."

Miles took the stage and began with a heartfelt acceptance speech. In the end, he suddenly turned his gaze towards Serina's direction.

I don't want to keep this a secret from everyone anymore. I've fallen for someone. She's innocent and adorable, like a child. I won't mention her name for now, as
