Defying the Comments: The Rise of a Female Mogul

"Gideon Hart, a man known for keeping every woman at arm's length, gets drugged and wakes up in a hotel with me lying beside him.Afterward, he comes to me and offers ten million as compensation.When I remain silent, my best friend, Lena Quimby, jumps in like she's been waiting for her cue. She snaps that money can't buy everything, trying to reject the offer on my behalf.Before I can say a word, comments start flashing before me like a live stream chat."Here we go! The male lead, the female lead, and the side character are all on screen together!""Lena's so classy. Way better than that gold-digger Evelyn.""Watch Evelyn reject the money and still get clowned!""Who wouldn't pick the sweet, innocent heroine?"Glancing at Lena's flushed cheeks and the way her eyes stick to Gideon, I almost let out a cold laugh.Then, I turn to the man in front of me and hold up my Venmo QR code. "Sure. Wire it!""
