On the office desk, there's a fancy invitation.
She opened it and took a glance. It was an invitation from a summit.
Mike walked in, noticing the invitation in her hand, and explained, "If you don't want to go..."
"I'm going," she replied, opening her purse and pulling out a lipstick, starting to touch up her makeup.
Mike clicked his tongue and said, "You're really going all out, huh? Is that a new lipstick? The color is poppin'! You look badass with it on! Alexa doesn't stand a chance against you."
After Violette finished her makeup and put her lipstick back into her purse, she turned to him and asked, "Wanna tag along?"
"Of course, I'll be your driver."
At the summit.
It was a gathering of elites from all walks of life.
Upon Violette's arrival, she was immediately invited backstage by the organizer.
"Ms. Dennis, you're scheduled to speak later. The slot is about twenty minutes long. Please have your speech ready."
Violette nodded, But then noticed that Mike was gone.
She didn't prepare a speech in advance, and it was too late to do so now. She would have to wing it.
She emerged from backstage, scanning the bustling crowd.
She pulled out her phone from her bag, intending to call Mike.
But then someone grabbed her arm, pulling her to the side. She looked in surprise at the person holding her. Elijah's bodyguard?
