Chapter 1150: Chapter 1145: Taking the Chance to Link Arms with Nicholas Croft

The red carpet ceremony starts at 8 p.m., and the winter in Capital City is a genuine winter unlike the damp cold in the south.

With temperatures below minus ten degrees, snowflakes start to flutter sparsely as the ceremony begins. To achieve the perfect on-screen look, the guests on the red carpet are all dressed thinly.

The male guests in suits and leather shoes are shivering, and the female guests in evening gowns don’t fare any better. Those concerned about their image manage to uphold a stiff smile on stage, while the more delicate ones simply hug their shoulders, wear a pained expression, and hastily greet the host before quickly leaving.

Hannah Hargrave seems to have a particular fondness for blue; once again, she wears a light blue evening gown with a strapless design, accessorized with a matching colored neckpiece. The strap is much wider than those worn by other female stars on the red carpet, conveniently covering a purple kiss mark.

After stepping off the nanny car, she shivers with her arms around herself, followed by two assistants.

Harry Zachary instinctively reached out an arm to offer her warmth but was dismissed by Hannah, who avoided him, waved at the fans behind the barrier and walked towards the red carpet with a smile.

Behind her, a stretched luxury car pulls up, and with exaggerated exclamations from the fans, Hannah discreetly glances over while posing for photographers.

At the moment, Nicholas Croft is bending over to help Sophie Foster out of the luxury car.

The couple’s attire visually delivers a warm impact, with Nicholas Croft in a black stylish suit, a royal blue shirt, and a red bow tie.

His short hair is slicked back with wax, giving a mature and gentlemanly feel.

Enveloped in his arms, Sophie Foster’s attire is far more noble and glamorous than the female stars preceding her on the carpet.

In a striking red floor-length gown with a pure black fur stole elegantly draped over her shoulders, which is knee-length, she is noticeably warmer compared to those in thin evening dresses.

Her long hair is simply tied at the back, adorned with dazzling diamond earrings, wearing gloves, with warm platform shoes beneath the dress.

Listening to the continuous fan calls of "Little Mi, Little Mi," the couple amicably waves to the fans and proceeds to walk down the red carpet together.

Ahead, Hannah Hargrave pauses for poses every few steps, maintaining a decent smile. In reality, only she knows her real aim is to walk up to the host alongside Nicholas Croft.

When Nicholas Croft and Sophie Foster pass by Hannah, out of courtesy, Nicholas can’t avoid extending an arm in a gesture of please, while Hannah sweetly smiles at them and takes the opportunity to link arms with Nicholas.

In such a situation, even if he feels impatient, Nicholas Croft can’t outright brush her off and has to endure, forcing a smile while holding his wife’s arm with one side and being clung to by Hannah on the other, approaching the host together.

"Hello, Director Croft, Miss Hannah, welcome!" The host is the most dedicated one, standing outside in minus ten-degree cold in a thin evening dress, obviously shivering but still forcing a smile to greet the guests.

Looking at the luxurious fur on Sophie Foster’s shoulders, after the pleasantries, the host enviously remarks, "Wow, Director Croft, your wife is truly fortunate!"

Nicholas Croft glances at his wife before turning back to exchange pleasantries with the host, "In such cold weather, it really is a tough job for you."

"Indeed!" The host shivers, jokingly saying, "Director Croft, with such attentive care for your wife, how should us single women feel?"
