Mr. Mitchell's face softened with a hint of amusement, and there was a trace of pride in the way he looked at me. I knew this was a rare opportunity, but my ability would determine whether I could make the most of it.
"Evelyn, don't get too excited just yet. Yes, I'm willing to introduce you, but Mr. Odom is even more eccentric than I am, Getting him on board won't be easy"
He brought me back to reality with just a few words, and I stood there momentarily stunned. It felt like I'd grabbed onto a lifeline, only to realize it might not be strong enough to save
"But with your talent, I believe you'll find a way," he added.
The pressure was overwhelming. I felt like I was on the verge of collapse, directionless and weighed down by uncertainty. Everything was changing, and following the path I had in mind seemed more difficult than ever.
However, the information I had gave me a distinct advantage, one that could help me seize this opportunity. Despite the pressure, the dinner was pleasant. I didn't achieve my original goal, but I left with a new solution. On the way home, I sat in silence, lips pressed together. A cool breeze drifted through the window, and I pulled my

Liam's voice broke through my thoughts. He could sense the turmoil beneath the surface, the waves of emotion crashing inside me.
I kept my gaze fixed on the window, still not saying a word, the emptiness in my chest expanding, suffocating.
