Henry in the Limelight

The crowd fell silent in an instant.

No one knew how to react.

The next moment, they saw Henry walking over, beaming with excitement.

After multiple takes, the filming had worn him out. When he heard Seraphina was visiting the set, he was overjoyed; he almost cried.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

The director didn't make it difficult for him and waved him off.

When you have a wealthy backer, the treatment is different.

When Henry approached, he noticed a swarm of reporters surrounding Seraphina.

He was ecstatic and excited beyond words. Making a public appearance with Seraphina was an opportunity he never even dared to imagine. "Henry's here."

Someone in the crowd murmured.

Everyone instinctively made way for him.

Henry suppressed his excitement, putting on a flattering yet humble smile. The moment he got closer, he saw who was standing next to Seraphina-Orion!

He froze mid-step. His smile was stiffening on his face.

One thought echoed in his mind. Damn it! I'm done for!

The reporters naturally wouldn't miss this golden opportunity to capture an industry insider.

Microphones and cameras almost poked at his face. Henry didn't dare show a hint of dissatisfaction. He maintained his forced smile, his steps shaky as he approached Seraphina and Orion. Seraphina politely shifted aside, making space for him between them.

The spot in the middle.

Henry swore that the center spot between Seraphina and Orion was the last place he wanted to be!

He dared not even glance at Orion. The aura Orion exuded-noble and cold-was making him tremble with fear.

Henry also couldn't bring himself to look at Seraphina, afraid of catching the death glare Orion was bound to send his way.

This was too much for him to bear.

"Henry, Ms. Cross, and Mr. Dros are here to visit you on set. How do you feel about that?"

Henry's smile remained stiff. Oh, my feelings-I didn't dare to have any!

Seraphina paused and then smiled warmly at Henry. "Don't be nervous. Just relax."

The cameras zoomed in on the two of them instantly.

On one side was the CEO, wealthy beyond measure, and on the other, a rookie actor. The way she comforted Henry was such a captivating contrast! 91%

Orion's tongue touched the back of his teeth, his eyes briefly flicking over to Henry. The look was sharp and dangerous, like a blade. That counterfeit was such an eyesore!

Henry didn't move a muscle. His forced smile was unchanged, his whole body tense. There was nothing relaxed about him.

"Ms. Cross and Mr. Dros visiting the set-I'm beyond thrilled."

He swallowed hard and continued, "And, of course, deeply moved...

People exchanged puzzled looks as they observed his awkward words and nervous manner.

They couldn't help but notice how different Henry's face looked when compared to Orion's. It was similar at first glance, but on closer inspection, not at all.

Orion stood there, expressionless. One commanding gaze was enough to show everyone how different he was from the crowd.

No matter how much Henry tried to imitate Orion, he could never match Orion's commanding presence. Under his timid facade lay a hint of cowardice, and his eyes were filled with nervousness and greed.

Seraphina pressed her lips together, clearly unimpressed with Henry's embarrassing display-he simply couldn't gain her respect.

Henry managed a few more empty words before Seraphina stepped in to cut him off.

"Please, everyone, look forward to his work."

He would lose his small following and buzz if he continued to speak.

"What upcoming projects does Henry have?"

Seraphina paused for a moment, turning her gaze toward the reporter.

Even Henry couldn't help but glancé nervously at Seraphina.

She smiled and revealed, "From what I know, in the next week alone, Henry will be starring in three movies, guest-starring in four TV series, and appearing in six commercials, along with over a dozen public appearances. You can all look forward to it." People were quietly astonished.

A rookie was receiving so much work right away-his rise was unstoppable!

Henry's excitement at first turned into stiffness, and then he started feeling uneasy. He didn't feel so excited anymore.

He had been exhausted over the past few days, getting barely three to four hours of sleep each night while staying in peak condition.

With Seraphina listing off all these projects, he felt a mix of excitement and dread.

Would he survive this workload?
