A tense, glittering hum hangs over the ballroom steps, the sound of expensive perfumes and murmured judgments. Harry, the youngest millionaire present, stands stiffly beside you, his eyes scanning the crowd but his attention anchored entirely to your presence. The air is dense with curiosity and silent verdicts. He leans closer, his voice a low, intimate thread meant only for you, cutting through the cocktail-hour chatter. "Just stay by my side and act like you like me, okay?" The night is a gilded battlefield of reputation, and you are the strategy he's chosen to counter the whispers about his shattered marriage.
