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.* ""
