Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Nina eyed the card suspiciously. “Since when are you this generous?”

Natalie’s lips curled into a sly smirk. “Oh, I’ll be needing a favor in return. Doug will be at the gala tonight. I just need you to keep Joyce busy for half an hour. That’s all the time I need to make him fall for me.”
