Some reporters were already thinking about leaving, their patience wearing thin. Zara, trying to keep things under control, calmed the reporters down with a few reassuring words and then went to find Chloe.

"Philip, chill. Chloe's already stressed. If they don't come, we'll figure something out," Rena said, her voice steady as she tried to ease the tension.

Philip shot back, "What can we figure out? We promised they'd be here! We can't just make stuff up now." His frustration was evident in his furrowed brow and raised voice.
