A low-key, black Bentley Continental was parked outside the Peninsula Hotel. The most highly-anticipated award ceremony in Washington was currently taking place here.

Inside the car—

Audrey had firmly wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

The rear windscreen had already been raised.

The man was still dressed impeccably, even his shirt was worn neatly with each button fastened meticulously.

"Audrey, what are you looking at?" A low and slightly hoarse voice asked, almost somberly.

"Hand," Audrey responded lazily.

However, her cat-like eyes sparkled with intense greed, "Mr. Perez, how can your hands be so good-looking?"

The man couldn't be bothered to entertain Audrey and withdrew his hand.

Suddenly, Audrey's phone rang. It was a call from her manager, Nathan.

Without thinking, Audrey reached out to grab her phone.

"No answering."

Audrey knew about Maverick Perez’s temper, but tonight's banquet was important to her.

She had to placate him in a soft voice, "Ah Maverick... please, I beg you."

Maverick’s eyes darkened.

Audrey has been with him for five years since she was 18.

Most times, he found her to be light-hearted and carefree, always calling him "Mr. Perez."

Even in intimate situations, Audrey never changed her form of address.

Only when she pleaded softly with him would she switch between various ways to call out his name, expressing her version of gentle admonishment.

…

——

Audrey entered the award ceremony through the side entrance, trying to maintain a low-key entrance, but her presence still caused quite a stir.

Her eyes hinted at a slight smile, an evening gown of dazzling red fitted her perfectly; she had an indescribable charm about her.

Before she had time to exchange pleasantries with the people around, she heard whispering discussions.

Following the murmurings, Audrey lifted her brow.

Maverick, in his black tailored suit and white shirt, the top two buttons casually undone, looked both sexy and untamed.

Lucy Daniel, who had just received the Best Newcomer award, was conveniently seated next to Maverick in tonight's VIP seats, looking pleased and blooming.

Audrey curled her lips. She was close to Maverick, and yet there wasn't even a nod of acknowledgement. Concealing her irritation, she put on a good front.

…

It wasn't until the presenter read Audrey's name that the spotlight instantly lit up her face.

With a mild smile, she gracefully rose from her seat. After embracing those around her, she then began to walk towards the stage.

Thanks to a modern workplace drama, Audrey won the Best Actress Award of the year. The rumors with the male lead of the drama also made her a rising star.

So, when the host asked whether there would be further interactions with Levi Green...

The corners of Audrey's eyes lifted in a smile, but she did not deny it.
