BLACK TIE BILLIONAIRE

It was the worst idea she had ever had in her life, Vivian Sanchez thought as she cleaned up the counter.

It was unethical, unprofessional and she wouldn't be surprised if her plan didn't go as she wanted it to, but she was desperate and she had to try. At this point, she was willing to risk her current job just to have a minute to talk to Scott McCall.
