"Come on, you're so gorgeous. It'd be a total loss if you didn't walk the red carpet and let everyone see you. The thought alone breaks my heart!"
He had a flair for the dramatic, and his expression was even more so. "You're the most wonderful surprise of our GO red carpet! This impossible-to-borrow vintage haute couture gown looks absolutely perfect on you. And these red diamonds…"
Neil squinted, a hint of excitement filling his eyes. "I don't even dare to guess how many figures this necklace and earrings are worth. Your connections are incredible. We should have had you on our red carpet ages ago."
Evelyn Grant: "…"
She took a step back. "I thought this was just a party. I only came because it's been a while since I've seen you. And now you want me to walk the red carpet, in front of all those cameras? I think you're giving me a little too much credit."
Neil's arm was like an iron clamp, his expression suddenly very prim and proper.
