Sandra and Yvonne arrived neither too early nor too late. The banquet hall was already filled with guests.
Yvonne had thought she was quite famous, but upon entering the hall, she realized her status was nothing special here.
So, she and Sandra found an inconspicuous spot and started chatting with a few acquaintances from the industry.
Sandra was a great conversationalist and got along easily with industry people. Yvonne didn't say much, only smiling and adding a few words when asked, but her comments were always sharp and to the point.
Yvonne was discussing a recently released film with a senior actor when Thomas approached them.
Thomas greeted everyone one by one, his gaze finally settling on Yvonne, full of tenderness and affection.
“I knew you'd be here tonight. I've been looking all over the hall for you.”
The 'shipping' of Thomas and Yvonne by fans had been suppressed by their companies, but almost everyone in the industry knew that the award-winning actor Thomas had his eye on the rising star Yvonne and was actively pursuing her.
Seeing this, the others quickly found excuses to leave.
Soon after, Sandra was also called away.
Suddenly, Thomas and Yvonne were left standing alone together.
Though no one came near, furtive glances were cast their way from time to time.
Yvonne sighed in resignation. She was about to speak, but Thomas beat her to it.
“Would you like a drink? How about some champagne? I'll get it for you.” With that, Thomas turned and headed toward the nearby bar.
Yvonne stood there, silently watching him go. Just as she was about to turn and leave, a middle-aged woman dressed like a wealthy socialite approached her.
