The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 514

[What’s that you said?]

[Some folks are saying that Lucian was originally engaged to Kayleigh, but he broke it off to be with his current fiancée.]

Allison responded, [That’s a bunch of hogwash.]

She never thought there would come a day when she’d have to dispel rumors about Mr. Lindberg.

Emma chipped in, [Of course, I know it’s all baloney, but the rumor mill in Hollywood’s been buzzing. Some say Kayleigh was Lucian’s mistress, and when Kayleigh didn’t shoot any movies for two months, the paparazzi were all over her, implying she was pregnant. Kayleigh had to debunk these rumors several times. She has her fair share of haters, and every time she gets close to anyone big in Hollywood, they say she’s gold-digging, even though Kayleigh’s family is pretty well-off, to begin with.]

Hollywood was indeed a whirlwind. It required a heart of steel.

And just at that moment, Lucian arrived. His presence stirred up a commotion. The room started buzzing like a beehive. People began to whisper among themselves.

Lucian, clad in a sleek black suit, was strikingly handsome and impressive.

A natural-born leader.

He gave a slight nod and took his place at the head table. Under the play of light and shadow, his sharp, handsome features seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by God himself. His gaze seemed to instinctively sweep across the room, searching for someone, but to no avail.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

A staff member informed Allison it was time to prepare for her award. According to the schedule, her award was due in another two categories, which meant in about ten

minutes.

Allison rose to her feet and headed backstage to get ready. The winner of the two categories before hers was Nicki.

Nicki had changed into a new gown. It wasn’t as dazzling as the previous one, but it still accentuated her figure perfectly. She gave Allison a once-over. Allison didn’t shy away and returned the favor.

Nicki stopped in her tracks, extended her hand towards Allison, and said, “Hi, I’m Nicki.”

Allison shook her hand. “Allison.”

Nicki asked, “Do you mind if we exchange numbers?”

Allison’s phone was with Emma. She glanced at Emma, who handed her the phone. They added each other’s numbers, and Nicki suggested, “You’re new to Epic Entertainment, aren’t you? Maybe we can touch base sometime.” With that, she made her way to the stage to accept her award.

Ten minutes later, it was Allison’s turn to ascend the stage. She was sharing the Best Newcomer award with two other actresses.

Allison, in her red gown, portrayed a completely different style compared to her white gown from earlier. Her slender, tall figure, long and graceful neck, and the red gown flowing about her made her stand out starkly against the other two newcomers. The stage lights were as bright as day, making Allison’s skin appear to glow.

Her gaze fell on a man in the audience. The moment she spotted Lucian, her eyes averted, but his gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes narrowing slightly at the sight of her exposed skin.

Her hair was slightly curled She ran her fingers through it gently, lowered her gaze as the host handed her the microphone, said a few words of thanks, and then made her way off the stage. As she descended the steps, a butterfly started fluttering around Allison, eventually landing on her forehead. She reached out, her movements gentle, a soft smile playing on her lips, and caught the butterfly in her hand before releasing it into the air.

This brief sequence of events, lasted only a few seconds but had caught everyone’s attention.

Her beauty was natural, effortless. Her rose-colored gown was divine, revealing her smooth back.
