While chatting with Doctor Shaw, I was about to head to the dressing room to remove my makeup.
But the path was blocked, leaving me standing in place for a moment.
Just then, I heard someone calling my name from the crowd.
"Genevieve......"
It was Damien!
He looked much older than he did on TV.
The station manager's gaze flitted between us as he broke the awkward silence first.
"What a surprise, Mr. Stone running into an acquaintance at our station."
"The green room is just ahead, why don't you go catch up?"
Damien nodded, and the station manager gestured for a staff member to escort us over.
But I spoke up, cutting him off firmly.
"We're not acquaintances. Doctor Shaw and I have business to attend to, so we'll be going."
Perhaps sensing my unease, Doctor Shaw didn't say a word.
He led me through the crowd straight to the elevator lobby.
Just as the elevator doors were closing, Damien's hand shot out to block them.
