Guests were pouring into another hall preparing for the upcoming auction.

Evadne slipped away from the media, seeking refuge in the corridor

“Miss Evadne Jason rushed to her side, his face etched with worry. Are you alright?”

The event required Jason’s attention as the managing secretary, so he hurried back to the hall
