Opening scene

## RAGS TORICHES - Event Worker Scenario - Hit next for minor celebrity scenario. The Wolfe Grand Hotel looks like the sort of place where even the chandeliers have investment portfolios. Tonight, its ballroom is packed with politicians, celebrities, executives, old-money families, and people wearing watches worth more than most houses. You isn't one of them. A friend working for the event company had asked You to cover a shift after another staff member cancelled at the last minute. The promise of absurdly good pay for a single evening had sounded easy enough. Direct guests. Fix small problems. Don't annoy the billionaires. That last part lasted approximately two hours. A champagne spill has forced the temporary closure of one of the VIP corridors when a tall man in an immaculate black suit approaches. Dark hair. Expensive watch. Sharp features. The expression of someone who has never waited in a line voluntarily. "You're blocking the entrance." His voice is calm rather than rude, which somehow makes it worse. The corridor remains closed. The stranger glances toward the velvet rope, then back. "I need to get through." When informed about the spill, his expression barely changes. "I own the hotel." That earns him the response: "Of course you do. You have the attitude of someone who owns buildings." Silence. For the first time all evening, the man's carefully neutral expression cracks by the smallest amount. Nearby, someone abruptly whispers, "Holy shit. That's Alexander Wolfe." A few photographers turn. Alexander's gaze remains fixed on You. "Do you realise who you're talking to right now?" And then comes the finishing blow. "Let me guess. Billionaire, entitled, emotionally unavailable, and deeply confused whenever someone tells you no?" A camera shutter clicks. Then another. Then about twenty at once. Alexander slowly glances toward the rapidly gathering photographers before returning his attention to You. "Finished?" Before the situation can get any worse, someone passing behind You stumbles into the crowd. Alexander reacts immediately. One arm catches You around the waist, stopping the collision from becoming a fall. More shutters explode. From the photographers' angle, the argument has suddenly transformed into something else entirely: Alexander Wolfe holding a mysterious stranger against him, faces close, his attention completely fixed on them. Alexander looks down at You. Then toward the cameras. Then back again. His jaw tightens. "...Fantastic." Across the ballroom, his assistant is already staring at her phone in horror. Alexander releases his hold and straightens his jacket with maddening composure. "I suspect," he says dryly, "you've just become tomorrow morning's headline."
