The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

He, Ellis, and their artists - Lauren and Astrid - were sitting in a black flying sedan limousine, and were on their way to Celestial Plaza. It\'s the venue for the Silver Moon Awards. Actually, even though it was called a \'plaza\', it was actually more of an auditorium. It\'s the grandest auditorium in the capital and many kinds of events were held there.

Since both Lauren and Astrid were nominated, and for the same movie even, it was quickly decided that they walked the red carpet together. So, from the company, they travelled to Celestial Plaza together.

The two were sitting together on the other seat, while Chris was sitting with Ellis. There was also a designated driver in the front.

Since both of them were busy, even if they were working at the same company, Chris wasn\'t able to have a proper conversation with Ellis. Now that they\'re attending the same award show, maybe he could finally ask for some advice from the other on how to be a great agent.

"We\'re ready since earlier," Lauren said. "Although I\'m a bit afraid people won\'t notice me because I\'ll be walking with someone so pretty," he added with a bit of dramatic flair.

Astrid chuckled and glanced at Lauren.

The other was wearing a tailored charcoal gray tuxedo with satin lapels. The tuxedo jacket accentuated his frame, while the charcoal gray trousers provide a sleek and timeless look. Paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a sapphire brooch at the colar, the ensemble exuded classic elegance with a modern twist.

His dark blonde hair was styled in a slick, side-parted manner, showing off the silver flower ear cuffs on his left ear. Subtle and well-executed makeup enhanced his features, emphasizing a clean and polished appearance.

"How is that possible, given how attractive Lauren looks?" he said.

"Well, I do am attractive. But I\'m still no match for you, especially now that you\'re all dolled up." Lauren then started fake crying. "Ah, can you give mercy to us ordinary handsome guys?"

Astrid gave out a light laugh. "If you\'re ordinary, then there would be no ordinary people in the world."

"Aw, I didn\'t think Aster would think so highly of my looks. Now I\'m feeling all shy."

"Okay, both of you look good. So, stop this \'complimenting game\' or I\'ll be the one feeling bad for not being as handsome," Chris said with a helpless shake of his head.

"Oh? But I think Mr. Taylor doesn\'t look too bad," Ellis said on the side without really much thought.

But in Chris\' mind, \'doesn\'t look too bad\' meant he looked good. He suddenly felt heat rising up to his face. With cheeks blushing, he said shyly, "Thank you for thinking so. And please, just call me Chris. Can I also call you E- Ellis?"

"I don\'t mind," Ellis said with a shrug.

Chris blushed even more, showing how happy he was with that.

Seeing this, Astrid couldn\'t help but raised a brow. It seemed that Ellis\' charm not only worked on women. Or maybe it\'s an \'agent\' thing? People in the same line of work just couldn\'t help but be attracted to Ellis? Oh well, it\'s true that his agent was very charming without even trying.

After a few more minutes, they finally arrived at Celestial Plaza.

Because of the red carpet event, the artists attending had to follow a certain order to walk on the red carpet. Which meant the car they were in also had to follow that order.

Since [The Sleeping God] had the most nominations, most of the artists part of the movie were scheduled to appear last. That\'s why, even though Astrid was still a rookie, he was able to walk in the last group.

He and Lauren would walk first, then wait for the other nominated cast members, as well as the director at the end, then they would all pose in front of the reporters invited for the event.

Their car stopped as their turn finally arrived.

"Don\'t be nervous, you two," Chris said. "Be sure to smile brightly in front of the cameras."

"We\'ll be watching in the backstage lounge," Ellis said.

Both Astrid and Lauren nodded.

"Then, we\'ll go," Astrid said.

He was about to open the car door, but Lauren stopped him.

"Let me go first. I\'m your escort, after all," he said, winking playfully at him.

Before Astrid could say anything, Lauren had already opened the door of the car. He could only helplessly smile and wait for the other to open the door for him.

"It\'s finally the turn of the cast of [The Sleeping God]," the female emcee said. "[The Sleeping God] is one of the most successful movies in the box-office last year. Maintaining its spot at the top of the box-office list for a month, showing just how much love it receives from the public. It\'s no wonder that it received the most nominations for this year\'s Silver Moon Awards."

The camera for the live stream then focused on the sedan limousine that had just stopped. Soon enough, Lauren Watts stepped out of the car, looking dashing in his charcoal gray tuxedo.

The cameras flashed and the fans that were allowed to watch the red carpet event in person cheered as they saw Lauren.

"It\'s Lauren! Lauren, please look here!"

"Lauren, you\'re so handsome!"

"Please marry me!"

Lauren smiled and waved at the fans. Then he opened the door of the car and stretched out his hand. A hand with long, white fingers appeared and held Lauren\'s outstretched hand.

Then, as if in slow motion, a young man walked out of the car. Everyone watching momentarily stopped when they saw him. It was like a scene in a movie when the main character appeared and took everyone\'s attention away.

Astrid Townsend finally arrived at Silver Moon Awards.
