"The eighty-thousand-dor one, obviously," Theo said without hesitation. The sales manager agreed.


    "Exactly," Evangeline said.


    "I still don''t get it," the sales manager admitted. "UME has always been a high- end, international brand—a ‘luxury car.'' But people in smaller, more remote areas have never even heard of us. They won''t see our move into the budget market as a luxury brand going on sale."


    Theo nodded in agreement. His own research in rural areas confirmed that UME had zero brand recognition there.


    "They might not know," Evangeline said with a smile, "but someone in their family will. Mr. Carlisle''s fanbase spans every region and age group in the country, and a good number of them fit our target demographic. We have a dedicated following that has been with us for years. They know the difference."


    The realization dawned on the sales manager. "You''re saying we get them to help us?"


    "But will they?" Theo asked, still skeptical.


    "They will," Evangeline said confidently. "I''ve studied Glenn''s fan demographics. Most of them will be happy to help. They want to see him, and we can give them that opportunity. For them, spreading the word is a small favor. It''s a win-win."


    Theo was still unconvinced, but the sales manager was sold. "I''ll get in touch with them right away."


    "No need," Evangeline said, pulling out her phone. She opened an app and handed it to him. "Use mine."


    The sales manager took the phone, and his eyes widened when he saw the ount. Theo, curious, leaned over and saw the user ID His jaw. dropped. "You''re the founder of Glenn''s official fan forum? The one who disappeared years ago?"


    That fanmunity was what had first brought UME to the public''s attention in their home country. The founder used to post stunning


    Glenn, which attracted a massive following of young women who became fascinated with the tech genius They had all spected about who the founder was, suspecting it was someone with a secret crush on him. But just as the forum''s poprity exploded, the founder had vanished.

    To think it was Evangeline all along.


    Seeing their shocked expressions, Evangeline felt a bit embarrassed. "I felt I owed it to Glenn back then, so wanted to do something for him. Her only goal had been to get him and ME the recognition they deserved. She never expected it to blow up the way it did, eventually causing someplications for him. She still felt guilty about that.


    After getting Glenn''s permission, the sales manager immediately reached out to the most active members of the fanmunity. As expected, the response was overwhelming. Nearly everyone agreed to help.


    By that evening, the campaign was already gaining significant traction, and the sales manager was flooded with calls. The results were immediate and astounding, and for the first time in a while, everyone''s spirits were high.


    Finn was waiting by his car when Evangeline left work, a lightness in her step as she walked toward him.


    "Good mood?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.
