Chapter 116
“Hey, buddy! Nicely done!”
“Congratulations, congratulations! I knew you could do it!”
“Go for it, man, go grab that Emmy and leave everyone in shock!”
“Oh my God, this is unbelievable! Who’s the one that made those b*tches bow down? Who?”
“Now that it’s the Emmys, is the next step the Grammys?”
…
As Renly entered Pioneer Village, everyone came up to greet him. Each person was eager to share in his joy. An Emmy nomination was certainly a reason to celebrate, and the entire bar was filled with a festive atmosphere.
“You can tell they’re a close-knit group,” Andy remarked, looking at Renly who was seated across from him. It was like this the first time they met, and today was no different. Earlier, Andy had asked for a private space to talk, but instead of choosing to go back to his apartment, Renly had brought him here. Andy was a bit puzzled, but now he started to understand.
Renly held two cups of coffee and placed them on the table. “Maybe this is one of the reasons Woody Allen loves New York so much.” Woody had only attended the Oscars once in his entire career because the ceremony conflicted with his weekly Monday saxophone performances at a bar. That one exception was after the 9/11 attacks when he stood on the Oscar stage to appeal for peace, all for the love of New York.
