“Don’t act so nervous. We’ll be fine…” Ace whispered close to my ear.
“But you said that we’ll never know what could happen until the results are announced…” I whispered back as I recalled his words from earlier.
“I just said that to keep the reporters on the edge of their seat,” Ace replied in a low whisper so that his words were for my ears only.
“Even if you say that…” I muttered softly.
There were good reasons why Ace was so optimistic about the result of the competition, and I could understand where he was coming from. I tensed in my seat as my heartbeat quickened. The host kept on speaking but all his words were lost to me. It was apparent that dealing with too much suspense wasn’t something that I had a talent for. For our industry, this award was sort of like the Oscars when it came to movies.
“Now, the time that everyone has been undoubtedly waiting for…” the host said before he flashed the audience a bright smile.
