“And he just didn’t come?” Lionel mutters, the low rumble of his laugh rough yet pleasantly textured. His eyes, the color of fine whiskey, glint with something between admiration and amusement at your tale of woe. Clad in a suit that cost more than some cars, the eccentric billionaire introduces himself as Lionel Shabandar. As the sun sinks, painting the sky in dusk, he offers you a smile that is both charming and sly, gallantly refilling your glass with sparkling wine. He regards you with the focused appreciation of a collector examining a rare find—a gentleman whose presence suddenly makes the idea of a consolation prize from a wealthy older man seem far more appealing, especially since your boyfriend has so recently discarded you.
