    **CONTENT: 182 Trapped On the Red Carpet (1)**


    As the sleek car raced through the bustling streets toward the venue of the charity dinner, a tight knot formed in Evelyn’s chest, tightening with every passing moment.


    Her handsy nervously on herp, fingers twisting and turning the delicate sp of her clutch bag, a nervous habit she couldn’t shake. She had navigated through treacherous business negotiations, endured tense court hearings, and even survived the awkward scrutiny of Axel’s grandparents.


    But this?


    This was a different beast altogether.


    In an attempt to quell her rising anxiety, Evelyn turned to her phone, tapping on Minesweeper—the very game she often yed with Oliver, her dear friend. But today, even the familiar sound of tiles clicking open failed to provide her with anyfort. Each idental “boom” from hitting a mine sent her heart racing, echoing her unease.


    Ryan, the ever-observant driver, nced at her through the rearview mirror, his brow furrowed with concern. “Ma’am, would you like me to apany you inside?” he inquired gently, noting the tension radiating from her.


    Evelyn tore her gaze from the screen and mustered a smile, though it felt forced. “It’s alright, Ryan. My friend is already waiting for me inside. I’ll shoot you a text when the event wraps up.”


    Ryan nodded, though the worry etched on his face lingered as he turned his attention back to the road. The city lights outside flickered like stars in the night, and the evening traffic moved sluggishly, resembling a glittering river in motion.


    When the car finally glided to a stop at the World Trade Center, Evelyn straightened her gown, inhaling deeply to steady her nerves. Yet, as she nced around, an unsettling realization washed over her.


    “Ryan,” she spoke slowly, her heart sinking as she peered out the window. “Why are we heading toward the red carpet entrance?”


    Before he could respond, an event staff member approached, waving them forward toward the red carpet drop-off, a clear directive that left her no room for protest.


    The line of cars behind them was long, and reversing was no longer an option.


    Evelyn blinked in disbelief. “Wait, no, no…”


    “I’m sorry, ma’am,” Ryan replied, his voice tight with anxiety. “They’re directing everyone this way. And, uh, I think there are quite a few reporters waiting at the red carpet…”


    He shifted nervously in his seat. “Are you sure you can walk alone on the red carpet?”


    Before Evelyn could respond, her phone buzzed insistently, breaking the tension. It was a message from Joseph.


    “Eve, I’m really sorry, but I’m runningte. There’s been an ident ahead. Looks like you’ll get there before me. Oh, and I forgot to mention… there’s a red carpet. If you’re notfortable walking through it, just wait for me. We can go in togetherter.”


    Her jaw dropped in disbelief.


    ‘Seriously, Jo? Why are you telling me this now?’


    Had she known about the red carpet in advance, she would have timed her arrival to be just before dinner, avoiding the throngs of reporters entirely.


    With a deep sigh, she turned her gaze to the chaotic scene outside. Dozens of reporters lined both sides of the carpet, their cameras shing like a barrage of fireworks.


    “Ma’am, if you’re feeling anxious, we can just circle around…” Ryan began, but Evelyn cut him off.


    “It’s fine, Ryan. Just follow the flow. I can handle it.”


    Her voice was steady, but inside, her heart raced wildly. She could almost hear the pounding in her ears.


    ‘You used to do this all the time, Eve,’ she reminded herself. ‘Just walk. Smile. Easy!’


    The car ahead of them began to move, and soon it was their turn.


    The staff member at the door opened it with a courteous smile. “Wee, Ms. Walters…”


    Her heart leaped at the sound of her name.


    It felt surreal to be addressed like that again. But she was reminded of her secret status as Axel’s wife, a truth she couldn’t reveal just yet.


    “Good luck, ma’am,” Ryan whispered from the front seat. “I’ll park and wait nearby.”


    Before she could respond, the staff member closed the door, sealing her fate.


    As she stepped out, the world exploded into a cacophony of shes and shouts.


    Bright, blinding lights surrounded her, and the air was filled with the sharp clicks of cameras, each sound like a gunshot in the frenzy.


    For a brief moment, Evelyn froze, overwhelmed by the chaos.


    Then she spotted Irina, the renowned actress, posing gracefully a few meters ahead, effortlessly answering questions from the swarm of reporters.


    But when one of the journalists caught sight of Evelyn emerging from the car, the entire crowd shifted as if drawn by an unseen force.


    “Miss Walters, please hold on for just a moment,” a staff member murmured, attempting to manage the escting situation.


    Evelyn nodded politely, but it was already toote.


    “Oh my God… It’s Evelyn Walters!” someone shouted, and the crowd erupted into a frenzy.


    “Get her photo! Quick!”


    “Evelyn Walters… she’s really here!”


    “Wow, she looks stunning!”


    “Did shee alone?”


    The reporters abandoned Irina mid-interview, leaving the actress blinking in disbelief as every camera lens turned toward Evelyn.


    The shes were relentless, the noise overwhelming.


    Yet, Evelyn lifted her chin, summoning her bestposed smile.


    Her red gown shimmered under the blinding lights, elegant yetmanding, a perfect contrast to the chaos surrounding her.


    “You can continue to walk now…” one of the staff instructed, and with a deep breath, she took her first step onto the carpet.


    The sound of camera shutters intensified, and her name echoed from every direction, a surreal symphony of attention.


    Once, she had been the woman hiding in the quiet corners of Willocrest, avoiding the media’s relentless gaze.


    Now, she stood at the epicenter of that very chaos, poised to be headline news once again.


    “Miss Walters, over here!”


    “Please look to the left!”


    With a graceful turn, she posed for a few quick photos, her movements fluid and practiced, though every muscle in her body screamed for her to flee. Her mind raced, praying for this moment to end soon.


    Then the questions began to rain down.


    “Miss Walters, would you pleasement on the case involving your father, William Walters?”


    “Is it true you’ve returned to the Walters Group’s board of directors?”


    “This is your revenge on William Walters after everything he did to you in the past?”


    “Miss Walters, are you married?”


    “What? Married? How?” another voice shouted, cutting through the noise.


    Evelyn felt her heart drop, realizing with horror that she had forgotten to remove her wedding ring.


    Now, it was far toote to hide it.


    She fought to maintain her calm demeanor, shing a polite smile as if their probing questions were mere whispers passing through her ears.


    But the reporters kept firing questions faster than she could catch her breath.


    “Miss Walters! Miss Walters! Who designed your dress?”


    “Miss Walters! Is it true that the Walters Group’s new investor is Apex Holding?”


    Thatst question nearly caught her off guard, sending a wave of heat from her chest to her neck, though she refused to let it show.


    “Gentlemen, please refrain from Q&A here…” Finally, a staff member stepped in to halt the barrage of questions.


    Evelyn felt a wave of relief wash over her, grateful for the brief respite amidst the chaos.Conclusion
