NovelEnglishChapter 880: It was the sointment, but the person who had given it to her was different.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince departing from the Norris family, her interactions with the family's elders had dwindled. Aware that she was forging a new path, they no longer intruded on her life.
The Morrisons had not extended an invitation to the Norris family for their family reunion banquet, but Shawn and Melany still thoughtfully sent Carrie a gift. It wasn't as valuable as the necklace Kristopher had sent her, but it was a pair of shoes custom-made by her favorite brand. The elder couple made sure the gift arrived on the morning of the banquet. However, Carrie chose not to wear them to the event. She tried them on once before packing them away. Wearing something from her ex's family to the banquet-particularly when her ex was engaged to someone else—could stir up unnecessary if noticed by anyone with a hidden agenda. After all the complications she had navigated, she had lost much but remained thankful for her present circumstances. She aspired to live her life in tranquility.
Srelationships, no matter how cherished, had to be kept deep within her heart.
Carrie had just stepped out of the bathroom when she heard a knock on the bedroom door, followed by Camille's voice. "Carrie! Are you awake?" "Yes. Please cin," Carrie replied.

Carrie paused for a moment, then asked, “Is it the short film we produced recently?" Camille settled into the massage chair beside her and explained, "No, it's someone Ruby recruited from your previous company before we moved to Isonridge for training. Asher was the one who provided the resources, and he played the second lead." gvlnoveshas the stories you love Carrie nodded, understanding. "Asher is nominated too. He's likely coming to Isonridge. I should host a dinner to thank him once he arrives." Picking up on the conversation, Camille added, "I recall you're nominated for Best Actress for 'Agarwood.' Are you attending with our company team, or will the Morrison family arrange your travel?" Carrie hadn't intended to attend. She was increasingly focused on behind-the-scenes roles and preferred to avoid the spotlight at such events. However, considering it was the company's new talent's first nomination and potential win, it seemed inappropriate for her, as the head of the company, to miss it.
Additionally, both she and Asher had been nominated for their roles in Agarwood. Asher would surely be disappointed if she didn't show up. Noticing Carrie's reluctance, Camille asked, "You're thinking of not going, aren't you? Winning this award could be your first major award! You haven't abandoned your ambition to beca triple award-winning actress, have you?" "Certainly not," Carrie answered promptly. "Even if I were tempted to quit, my aunt would never agree to it."
While she intended to focus more on behind-the-scenes work, she wasn't ready to completely give up her m acting career. She still enjoyed her profession immensely, particularly the unique feeling of portraying the characters she created, as though she were living different lives.
A saying cto her mind: it was more valuable to enrich theexperiences of life tanto simply lengthen it. Whether through writing or acting, both had deepened the richness of her life.
