Thea made her fans so proud. Unfortunately, all her anti-fans became much more silent after the acid attack.
That night, Thea’s historical show got the highest viewing rate, completely defeating Nina’s show. Thea got recognition from a larger scale of fans. The followers on her Twitter and Instagram also boomed.
There were so many threads on the internet talking about how great a job she did in that show.
Thea was just a rookie on the crew, but she didn’t seem out of place when she had to act with so many experienced actors and actresses.
The audiences even started to compare the female actresses from the newly aired shows. Nina and Paris were also compared with Thea, and they all decided Thea was the best one.
Thea suddenly became the darling of the internet.
Thea didn’t know what was going on online. She was exhausted after the runway.
Cody drove her back to their hotel. Their suites were next to each other, so Cody could take care of her and make sure of her safety.
Thea felt sweet because she knew that Cody was the major reason that she could walk the runway of such a great brand. He must have used his connections. She found herself not being able to stop thinking about Cody as she tossed and turned in her bed. The more she thought about that man, the sadder she became. She knew she would never be good enough for Cody because he was such a great person.
Besides, Cody said it was just an investment. It would be pretty awkward if she had different ideas.
Cody deserved a true lady, a wealthy girl from his world. She was just a small actress. And she saw how all the other girls from the showbiz ended up trying their best to chase after Cody.
She admitted that she had feelings for that man, but she knew she would only make a fool out of herself if she decided to confess that.
Imagine her boss treated her nicely because he only wanted her to make him more money. Yet she somehow fell in love with him just because he was nice.
That was pathetic!
Thea scoffed and buried her face into the pillow, forcing herself to sleep.
The result of the award came out the next day. Thea didn’t get much sleep last night. She still couldn’t get her eyes open as Zara hauled her into the makeup studio to let the makeup artists do her style.
They prepared a red dress for her today, and she looked as stunning as always.
Thea suddenly came into her consciousness as she saw pieces of jewelry they borrowed from the sponsor.
They were dazzling under the sharp light of the studio. For a minute or two, Thea thought she was gonna go blind. The necklace was so heavy that she felt her neck could break by wearing it.
She watched in awe as Daisy put those small pearls and diamonds into her hair, praying secretly that she wouldn’t lose any piece.
She didn’t have the money to pay for them.
When the host announced Dylan’s name on the stage, Thea stood awkwardly to give him a hug, making sure those decorations wouldn’t fall off her hair as she did so.
When the host announced her name, she was still adjusting her necklace. It took Thea a whole minute to finally register the fact that she was the Best Actress.
“Thea! It’s you!” The director exclaimed excitedly. “Go up on the stage!”
Thea blinked. And then, she started to search for Cody.
When she found his handsome face, she let out a big smile, “Me, the Best Actress.”
Cody smiled and leaned forward to give her a hug.
Thea felt so proud. She wanted to cry so much, but she didn’t want to look like a mess. Dylan also gave her a hug, “Go. You worked so hard, Thea. You deserve this.” Thea hugged the director and the scriptwriter before turning toward the stage.
She almost ran toward the stage.
“I really didn’t expect a big surprise like this before I came here… This is my first movie… I’m just… so happy.” Thea tried so hard to hold back her tears, “I’d like to thank all my friends. Thank Ben, for choosing me. Thank all the workers on the crew. And my great male lead, Dylan… Without you, I won’t be able to get what I have today. Thank you, Cody. You’re always there for me, and you always support me no matter what other people say.”
Cody couldn’t stop smiling.
“In the end, I’d like to thank my fans. Thanks for always loving me and understanding me. I will be a better person for you guys. For you guys are the kindest and warmest people, I know in this world.”
The clapping down the stage was almost deafening.
A faint smile showed up on Cody’s lips.
He felt like a proud dad.
Most media in Thea’s country hadn’t thought she could get any awards. Some of them had even written articles to mock her. For them, Thea was just a newbie who wanted to debut in a girl band. They didn’t expect her to act well in such an important movie. They thought she got the role because of her sugar daddy, and she would make the perfect script a joke.
However, Thea used the award to make them shut up.
The director of the comments thus changed. There were countless articles and posts complimenting her as the most talented young actress and jewel of the nation. Not only was she a national star who got so many popular works, but she was also a great actress who got international recognition now.
She had countless fans and heaters. The name “Thea Todd” always attracted numerous attention and discussion.
Everyone could see that she would definitely become even bigger. Thea’s position in showbiz was elevated tremendously after this.
Thea had never expected such success from a movie.
