Hallie Morgan took a deep breath, "Yes, Evelyn, you're right. What else can I do when you have me in your grip?"
"It's good that you understand. Besides, you don't have any decent gown to wear or a sponsor. Why would you want to disgrace yourself? It's much better just to have a meal, isn't it?"
Evelyn Olsen patted her shoulder and then left.
Hallie clenched her hand, deep in thought.
It seemed to her that all her constant compromises were useless.
Evelyn's goal was to ruin her, not giving her a good opportunity at all.
Meanwhile, Kayden Morgan quickly learned that Evelyn was making Hallie attend a dinner party.
He angrily sought Hallie, saying bluntly, "You would really give up the award ceremony for a dinner party?"
Hallie swallowed her resentment and could only apologize, "Director, I'm sorry."
