The situation was extremely awkward, and Grace Ziegler could only suppress her anger and discontent and leave the media zone.
The HR staff in charge of the red carpet area also urged Grace to move inside. There was no one there to sympathize with her nor anyone worth drawing attention. Without any tricks to delay, Grace had no choice but to enter the banquet hall.
Apart from the Chief Secretary, the staff from the Office of the President had all arrived and they were all staring at the live broadcast on the big screen in the venue.
Seeing that Grace was being ignored by the media, they laughed at her unanimously.
Guided by HR staff, Grace found her way to the table of the President's office secretaries.
Among the people sitting at the same table were the staff of the Chairman's Secretariat.
There was only one seat left at the table, far from the guest table and even farther from the president's seat. Grace had no choice but to sit down first.
