“This is a private billionaire charity gala. People like you aren’t invited.”

The security guard blocked my way.

I looked down at my simple navy dress and worn handbag.

“I understand. But Mr. Bennett asked me to come.”

The guard laughed.

“Mr. Bennett? The owner of this entire building?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Nice try. Now please leave.”

I was about to turn around when a wealthy woman in a sparkling red gown approached.

“Is this woman bothering you?”

The guard nodded.

“She claims she knows the host.”

The woman smirked.

“How embarrassing.”

I lowered my eyes.

Then the ballroom doors opened.

A tall man in a tuxedo rushed into the hallway.

“Where is she?” he demanded.

The guard turned.

“Mr. Bennett?”

The billionaire spotted me.

His face softened.

“Anna!”

He walked past the security guard and took both my hands.

“I was afraid you wouldn’t come.”

The wealthy woman stared.

“Robert, who is this?”

He turned toward her.

“This is the woman who saved my little sister when we had nothing.”

Then he looked at the security guard.

“Why was my most important guest left standing outside?”
