Sonya rolled her eyes at Lily Lane and headed to the bar.

"Hey, Sonya, watch out for scammers! I've seen those marriage fraud stories online. Be careful!"

The bartender made them two cocktails.

"Where's your boss?" Lily Lane asked.

"He's in the back. Busy tonight."

Lily Lane surveyed the bar, nodding approvingly."Jake Parker's taste is always impeccable. This place is stylish."

Lily Lane was surprised, then smiled and shook his hand. "I consider New York home, but New York doesn't quite know me yet."

Jake Parker chuckled. "It'll get there. Give it time." He pointed to a private room. "The CEO of JoyPlus Entertainment is in there. I'll go say hi, then bring you in."

Lily Lane nodded.

Sonya was touched by his thoughtfulness.
