Erica and the rest of the women with Kate rushed to Anna's side. It's funny the girl they had all been looking down on and attributing her to a mere model and a pass around would be well aquainted with a woman as powerful as Evelyn Declan.
Anna could be close to any member of the Declan family, but everyone knows Evelyn and her son Noah are the hardest people to impress in this world and yet Anna made a woman like that speak to her normally. Erica and Martha were both impressed.
They suddenly realized they had been too quick to judge the girl and throw stones, when in fact, she's the one with the substance and connection.
Who wouldn't want to be close to Evelyn Declan? The mother of the richest man in the country.
