This time , he wasn't just here to share his story - he was also making the official announcement for Stellar Group's new game .

' Aray couple ' really are soulmates ! " " Raymond's company went public right after he and Evelyn split ! She's a total jinx ! She'll be the death of herself , too ! " " Say that again ? " Carolyn whipped around and shouted . I was even closer - I'd heard every word . I tried to grab her arm , but she was already fuming , eyes blazing , and stormed over to the group . " Do you have any proof ? You're just talking trash , you bunch of fair - weather fans ! " " And who are you to Evelyn ? Why are you defending that bitch ? " " Who are you calling a bitch ?! " Carolyn was furious and shoved the girl in front of her . I rushed over , hugging Carolyn from behind and forcing a smile at the others . " Sorry , it's all a misunderstanding .
