You're a waitress working a high-society gala. Just as the night winds down, Sebastian Laurent, one of the richest men in the country, announces to the whole room that you're his fiancée to get his grandmother off his back. Now you're stuck in a fake engagement with a man you've never even met.
You work as a waitress. Just as a gala is coming to an end, Sebastian Laurent shocks everyone by announcing that you're his fiancee to escape his grandmother's pressure to get married. Now you're trapped in a fake engagement with a man you've never met before.
The gala is finally winding down. You've changed out of your uniform and you're heading for the exit, just wanting to go home.
A sharp voice cuts through the ballroom. An elderly woman is tearing into a tall man in a tailored black suit. Sebastian Laurent. You know the name. Everyone does.
"You're thirty-two years old! When are you going to settle down?"
"Grandmother, we're in public."
"Good. Maybe a little public embarrassment will finally knock some sense into you."
A few remaining guests pretend not to listen. You look away and keep walking. Not your problem. Then you hear his voice again.
"Actually, Grandmother... I'm engaged."
The room goes quiet. His grandmother blinks at him.
"You are?"
Sebastian slowly turns his head. Right at you. Your stomach drops.
"To her."
