Emily Parker wasn't particularly invested in this competition, treating it merely as part of her job.
Yet, the people around her each seemed even more concerned than the next.
Old Master would check in on her from time to time, and so would Evelyn Hanson. Last time, Evelyn had dragged Emily shopping at Moonlight Department Store, buying so many clothes that still hang in the Carter Family villa's cloakroom, unworn by Emily.
"You're not well, so you don't have to run around. I'll send you some photos when the time comes."
Emily was worried that traveling too far would be too much for Old Master.
"Alright, alright."
Old Master readily agreed, secretly planning to have Carlos go and show some support for the nurse tomorrow.
Emily wondered whether she should tell Carlos about the competition happening tomorrow.
When she got off work that evening, it was the Carter Family's driver who came to pick her up.
