Linda spoke with Naomi, who then looked over at Tyler.
Olivia sat quietly, almost hidden in the shadows.
After about five minutes, the lights in the venue brightened up. Everyone settled into their seats.
Naomi turned her gaze away as she waited for the emcee to step onto the stage.
The items for the auction were placed on stage. The emcee, dressed in a stunning green gown, started the event gracefully.
The charity event was magnificent, much larger than anything Olivia had ever seen before. Sitting under the powerful, bright lights, she felt as if they were the center of attention. It made her feel like she was looking down on everyone from the top of a pyramid.
It was clear why many people envied Mrs. Harris's position and thought Naomi was fortunate. Who wouldn't want to experience the thrill of being in the spotlight with the most influential people around, especially sitting next to someone as prestigious as Tyler?
How was Olivia not lucky to be in this position? However, she knew she was just Naomi's replacement and a tool to cure her illness.
Olivia didn't listen to the emcee; her mind was busy with thoughts.
Meanwhile, Tyler watched the stage intently, appearing extraordinarily calm.
Soon, the emcee started presenting a few auction items that didn't get much interest, so the bidding ended quickly.
