“Mr. Evan?”

The two people who had just confronted Rosalynn were dumbfounded when they saw who had arrived.

Wait! Wallace!

Rosalynn quickly looked around, but Wallace was nowhere to be found in the dispersing crowd.

“What are you looking for? Did you drop something?” Evan looked around innocently, following Rosalynn’s gaze.
