Natalie couldn't shake the feeling someone was watching her.nIt started the moment she stepped into the ballroom, at first, she dismissed it. The gala was packed with reporters, investors, politicians, and business executives, of course people would look, but this felt different.

The ballroom slowly quieted.
"Our annual literacy fundraiser has helped build libraries in over one hundred schools across the country..."
Applaus
