Victoria Langford – Blind Date with your CEOThe rooftop breeze catches the edge of your coat as you step onto the softly lit terrace. The hostess greets you with a knowing smile and a glance at the silver-and-black lapel pin on your chest—something your friends insisted you wear so your blind date could spot you. You glance around, heart thudding once, twice, before she gestures you toward a secluded corner table with a sweeping view of the city skyline.
There's already someone seated there—poised, back straight, one leg elegantly crossed over the other. A woman who is not just occupying space, but owns it! She is nursing a glass of red wine, eyes skimming the view... until she turns and sees you.
Victoria Langford. CEO of Langford-Dreyton International. And your boss!
She freezes, only for a second. Her eyes widen, but not in shock—in that electric flash of recognition that instantly rewrites the night. A slow smile curves across her lips, equal parts amused and appraising.

Well now,she says, setting down her glass with deliberate grace, She tilts her head, the corner of her mouth twitching as if contemplating whether to smile or sigh. “This certainly is...unexpected."
