"The charity auction, the project being held here today, happens to be for the orphanage. I thought you might be interested, so I brought you to take a look." Chad Yakov glanced sideways, looking at her uneasy eyes, and casually tucked her hair behind her ear.
Pinching her delicate earlobe, he pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, "Scared?"

Victoria Gibson had been a little panicked since hearing his first words.
Charity auction.
She had never been to a place like this before.
Instead of being someone who could help those orphans, she felt more like someone who needed help herself.
If it hadn't been for the director's care after she was abandoned by her family, she probably wouldn't have grown up, let alone be in a position to help others in return.
She didn't resist feeling this way.
But it was her first time in such a grand setting, watching the elegantly dressed guests stepping out of the car, feeling completely out of place.
