Chapter 353 Award Ceremony
After leaving Jennifer''s studio, Paul sent Lucia to the door of her parent''s house, warned her with a few
words, and left in a hurry without even entering the door.
Watching him drive away, Lucia felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.She knew in her heart that
Paul had a lot of things to do, all kinds of official business, but to be with her, he still found time to
spend the afternoon with her.Her heart warmed, and she turned around and walked into the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw that Elisa hid by the window and looked out.
Lucia was a little puzzled, and asked while changing her shoes, "Mom? What are you doing?"
When Elisa heard the sound of Lucia’s voice, she turned her head sharply and shivered in fright.
"Why didn''t my son-inwe in, you two quarreled?" She asked Lucia hurriedly.
Hearing what Elisa said Lucia couldn''t helpughing.
"Hispany has something to deal with, so I let him go," Lucia replied.
Elisa nodded, stretched out her hand, and pulled her to the side.
"By the way, someone sent a bunch of flowers to the house today.Look, who sent it to you?" Elisa said
to Lucia and asked her.
Lucia heard the words and followed her mother to the table, only to see a bunch of brightly colored
sunflowers on the table.
Palm-sized flowers, blooming brightly.She stepped forward, saw a card inserted in it, picked it up and
opened it, and saw a row of words on it.
"Long time no see, little assistant" the card read.
Lucia was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw this title, she frowned strangely.Little
assistant?"
She wondered.
Although she had worked as an assistant in Lion Group before, everyone called her "Assistant Lucia”,
who would call her "Little Assistant?"
Lucia was confused and threw the card into the trash can, and then put the bouquet on the balcony
next to it.
Elisa came over curiously and asked, "Who sent it?"
"I don''t know, maybe it''s from my agent," Lucia replied.
Sometimes Elijah often gave her some strange things, which made her confused.
Besides, she just arrived in Austos, and there were not many people who could find her address.
When Elisa heard the words, she nodded and didn’t ask any further questions.She poured Lucia a cup
of tea and said, "The two little guys have yed all afternoon and are tired.They are sleeping in the
bedroom new.By the way, they said that they want to go to Austos Pleasant Valley.Do you and Paul
have time? Take them to y someday.Pleasant Valley was built just two years ago, and it is said to be
very good!" Elisa said to Lucia.
"Really?"
Lucia responded casually, raised her hand to press her temple, and said softly, "Then wait for the end
of the award ceremony.I will be very busy these next two days."
In the next two days, she had to prepare her eptance speech, and she had to make two trips to the
brokeragepany.She had no time to concentrate.
After the award ceremony is over, she will take the time to take the two little guys out to have a good
time.
On the day before the award ceremony, Jennifer sent an assistant to deliver the final modified skirt to
Lucia.
Lucia opened the box and took a look.
The surprise in her eyes was a little bit more.
After the final adjustment, all the details had been achieved to the extreme.
Just a nce was enough to make people excited.
Lucia took the dress out of the box, hung it on the hanger, and began to prepare the eptance
speech.
The short film directed by her was nominated for the Best Creative Award.
At that time, she will not only show up but also give a speech on stage.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon.
After two hours of makeup and fixing her hair, Lucia finally set off to the venue where the award
ceremony was to be held.
Entering through the door surrounding roses, following the guidance of the staff, Lucia stepped into the
hall.
After walking in, she discovered that the award ceremony was in the form of a semi-self-service
reception.
The environment was spacious andfortable, there were no guest seats under the stage, and there
were sofa rest areas on both sides.
In addition, most people were in groups of three or two, drinking andughing while standing.
Such ceremonies were mainly rxed, pleasant, and short-lived, and will not be held for too long,
which was exactly what Lucia liked.
She walked inside, and unknowingly, she had attracted the attention of many people.She was like a
dazzling light.
No matter where she went, men and women looked sideways, and the emotions in their eyes were
complex and varied.
As Paul said, she seemed to be the most dazzling presence at this award ceremony.
Today''s Lucia was no longer as confident as she was five years ago.
She walked straight to the ss table next to her, calmly picked up a ss of red wine, and waited for
the award ceremony to begin.
Soon, the ceremony began.
The host came to the stage and exined the various awards.
After the warm-up, the winners were announced.
"The winner of the Best Short y Award this season is..." the host announced.
With the announcement of the previous winners, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became much
warmer.
Lucia stood in the audience, nced at the trophy of the next award, and unknowingly tightened her
hand holding the cup.
Although her ultimate goal of making a short film as a director was not to win an award, being able to
win this award would affirm her ability to a certain extent.
At this moment, the host on the stage asked the former winner to step down and announced the next
winner.
"This time the winner of the Best Creative Award is a beautiful director with very personal
characteristics.Her short y "Puppet" once came first ce in the number of clicks on foreign
tforms for weeks in a row.With absurd artistic techniques, highlighting human nature, and thought-
provoking content, we will invite our winner, Miss Lucia, to take the stage to ept the award!"
After she finished speaking, everyone in the audience began to apud.
Lucia shed a smile, pulled up one side of her skirt, and walked gracefully to the stage.
The host greeted her with a smile and beckoned Lucia toe up.
"The person in charge of our organizers wille to the stage to present the award to Miss Lucia!" the
host announced.
Lucia stood in the center.
The spotlights kept shing under the stage, and she took a deep breath.
She felt that the eyes of the audience were all looking at her, warm, sincere, envious...
Her heart tightened, and aplex emotion that could not be exined welled up in her heart.
She had made a lot of short dramas andmercials before, some of which were well-known, but this
was her first time winning an award.
This feeling of being recognized by everyone was wonderful.
Lucia felt a little excited in her heart, but at this moment, she caught sight of someone walking on the
podium next to her.She smiled and turned to look over there subconsciously.
The moment she saw the personing, her body tightened, and the smile on her face stiffened a bit.
Why him? August! How could he be the one who gave her the award? Before she could figure this out,
the host had already said with a smile, "We''ll invite the person in charge of our organizers, Mr.Adams,
to present the award!"
Lucia froze in ce, watching the man in a dark gray suit walking towards her, staring straight at her,
with his eyes straight and undisguised.She took a deep breath, and a little panic passed through her
heart.

The excitement that had arisen in her heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only a faint unease.
August, who was next to her, looked at her with a normal gaze.He walked to the host calmly, picked up
a crystal clear trophy from the tray, and walked towards Lucia.
Lucia’s heart was beating intensely.
