    **TITLE: Secret Lover 183**


    **CONTENT: 183 Trapped On the Red Carpet (2)**


    Evelyn finally released a long, pent-up sigh of relief when she heard the ground staff issue theirmands.


    However, that moment of relief was fleeting.


    Suddenly, the ground staff pointed toward a small podium situated near the main entrance of the event. “Come on, folks, please give Miss Walters some space to breathe. You can direct your questions to her over there,” he instructed, waving a hand dismissively.


    Evelyn couldn’t suppress the frustration bubbling within her; her mind was a whirlpool of irritation.


    Damn it! Why are you sending them to a Q&A? I just want to get to the venue!


    Her smile turned rigid, the corners of her mouth barely lifting.


    Before she could muster the courage to ask the staff for assistance, they were already guiding her forward, blissfully unaware of her desperate desire to flee in the opposite direction.


    With a heavy heart, Evelyn forced herself to keep moving.


    Each step felt like a slow march toward impending public humiliation.


    Reporters descended upon her like a flock of ravenous pigeons spotting a crumb of bread.


    The relentless clicking of cameras echoed around her, the bright shes almost blinding her as they went off in rapid session.


    Just when she thought she might drown in the chaos, two security officers materialized at her sides, creating a protective barrier as they navigated through the throng of reporters.


    Evelyn managed a polite smile while silently pleading, *Please, let me just sink into the ground right now.*


    s, her silent prayer went unanswered.


    As soon as the security officers left her at the designated booth, the madness returned with a vengeance.


    “Miss Walters, can youment on the ongoing case involving your father, William Walters?” one reporter shouted, shoving a microphone toward her face as if it were a weapon.


    “Is it true you’ve returned to the board of directors at Walters Group?” another chimed in, their eyes gleaming with the thrill of the chase.


    “This is your revenge on William Walters after everything he did to you, isn’t it?” a voice from the back blurted out, dripping with sensationalism.


    Evelyn blinked, momentarily stunned. “Revenge? Are they scripting a soap opera now?” she thought, incredulous at the absurdity of the situation.


    Then came a fresh wave of questions.


    “Miss Walters, who funded your return to thepany?”


    “Are you nning to merge with the other subsidiaries under the Walters Group?”


    “Do you have anyments on thewsuit filed against thepanyst quarter?”


    And just when she thought it couldn’t get any more ludicrous, a female reporter piped up:


    “Miss Walters, are you married?”


    Evelyn nearly burst intoughter.


    *Seriously?* she muttered under her breath, shaking her head in disbelief.


    A dull throb began to pulse in her head, the cacophony of ovepping questions overwhelming her senses.


    It was as if she were caught in a storm of buzzing bees, each question adding to the chaos.


    She struggled to think clearly, knowing that if she chose silence or simply ignored them, tomorrow’s headlines would brand her as “rude” or “arrogant.”


    So, with a deep breath, she straightened her back, lifted her chin, and forced a polite smile.


    “Good evening, everyone…”


    She began, her voice steady despite the tumult of emotions swirling inside her.


    “Thank you all for your attention, even though I’m not a public figure or an important person in this country. I would appreciate it if you could refer to me by my first name… Evelyn.”


    The reporters chuckled softly, their murmurs filling the air.


    “No, Miss Evelyn, you are a public figure…”


    “You’re more famous than a movie star, Miss Evelyn.”


    “Absolutely… Absolutely…”


    Evelyn raised her hand, signaling for silence.


    Once the noise subsided, she continued, “I understand you all have many questions, but I will only address a few regarding thepany, the Walters Group, and my role within it. I won’t be discussing my private life. I hope you can respect that.”


    The reporters exchanged nces, and, to her surprise, they quieted down a notch.


    One of them cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “Miss Evelyn, can you confirm whether you’ve officially returned to the board of directors?”


    “Yes,” she answered, her smile unwavering. “I’ve rejoined the board in an advisory capacity. My focus will be on restructuring thepany’s phnthropic branch, including our coboration with Hope Medical Center.”


    Her calm demeanor seemed to have a soothing effect; the tension in the air began to dissipate.


    Another reporter leaned in, eager for more. “There’s spection that your return signals a new direction for the Walters Group. Is that true?”


    “I believe change is essential,” she said gracefully. “Our family business has faced numerous challenges, but we aremitted to learning from our past mistakes. I am confident that we will emerge stronger.”


    Click. Click. Click. The sound of camera shutters intensified, but this time it felt more like admiration than an attack.


    *Finally,* she thought, a wave of relief washing over her. Perhaps this wasn’t so terrible after all.


    But just as she was about to wrap things up, a sharp-eyed reporter leaned forward, pointing at her hand.


    “Miss Evelyn,” he said, curiosity dripping from his voice, “you’re wearing a wedding ring.”


    Evelyn froze for the briefest moment, her heart racing.


    And then it began.


    “Are you married, Miss Evelyn?”


    “Is it recent? Was there a private ceremony?”


    “Who is your husband?”


    “Is he from the business world? A public figure?”


    Her mind spun in a whirlwind of panic. *Damn it! I should’ve worn gloves!*


    Smiling sweetly while cursing them all in her mind, Evelyn replied, “I will answer that one question if you promise to let me leave right after.”


    The crowd fell into a hushed silence.


    A few nodded eagerly, recorders poised and ready. “Of course!” they chorused, feigning cooperation.


    She widened her smile, her voice firm yet bright. “Yes.”


    The entire crowd gasped collectively.


    “You’re married?”


    “Yes,” she affirmed again, this time with confidence.


    The reporters erupted into a frenzy.


    “Who’s your husband?”


    “When did the wedding take ce?”


    “Is he someone we know?”


    Evelyn could feel a vein pulsing on her forehead, her patience evaporating.


    *What the heck! They promised! These vultures have no honor! How shameless!*


    Her lips twitched, herposure fraying. “Everyone,” she said, maintaining that deceptively pleasant smile, “I believe that was already one question too many. I will be taking my leave now.”


    But they didn’t relent.


    “M-Miss Evelyn, just onest question!”


    “Who is he?”


    She felt trapped. The reporters closed in again, their microphones surrounding her like a circle of spears.


    *Oh, for heaven’s sake! Where’s Ryan when I actually need him? He could’ve at least faked a fainting episode to distract them!*


    Just as she was about to bolt, a voice rang out.


    “Axel Knight!!”


    The shout sliced through the chaos like a knife.


    The effect was instantaneous.


    Reporters turned in unison, eyes wide with surprise.


    “Axel Knight is here?”


    “Wait! What? Axel Knight? The CEO of APEX Holding?”


    “Wow, Axel Knight ising!”


    The crowd surged toward the red carpet, microphones and cameras raised high, their focus shifting away from her. In less than three seconds, Evelyn’s tormentors vanished.


    She blinked, momentarily stunned as the sea of reporters dissipated, leaving her standing alone and a bit awkwardly under the ring event lights.

    Then, slowly, she exhaled, her shoulders dropping in relief.Conclusion
