Gavin's POV

The rest of the evening went by amazingly smoothly. Rachel was the real prize of the evening. The shareholders and businessmen were obsessed with her, and it wasn't just because she was gorgeous, but because she had such great knowledge about literally everything.

The men were equally impressed, if not more so.
