The actress beside Sabina was equally excited. "The award SouthBank just won is the highest honor for screenwriting! It's on a whole other level."
She glanced at Sabina's fluttering lashes, then quickly covered her mouth. "Oh! I didn't mean yours isn't amazing too, it's just that SouthBank isn't even in the same league as regular screenwriters…"
Sabina smiled gently. "I understand."
On stage, the drumbeats of the music grew faster, the tension and anticipation reaching a climax. Until the host finally announced, "The Best Original Screenplay Award at the Film Festival goes to… SouthBank!"
The moment those words fell, the lights in the auditorium instantly dimmed, leaving only a spotlight sweeping slowly around the venue.
Both the livestream viewers and the audience followed its movement.
And then the spotlight stopped on a woman.
