Unmasking the Heiress

However, as soon as she set the phone down, the doorbell chimed.

""Who's there?"

Evangeline had splurged on the presidential suite and had one rule: No interruptions. Apparently, that was

Roslyn was always upfront about these things, never one to play coy. "Talk about serendipity, the person I asked about is a Foster!"

Asking the Fosters about their own little princess was sure to yield dead-on results, right?

Roslyn did not have to say it-Evangeline knew exactly who she had in mind.

Her uncle James was a man of detail. There was no way he would leave her to fend for herself at a time

like that.

"My little princess, the night's too long to waste away in a bar. Instead... Roslyn gave Evangeline's delicate shoulder straps a playful tug. "Let's go live it up a bit!" Where they would go was as clear as day, given Roslyn's getup.

Evangeline, having downed so much booze, was doing a stellar job just keeping her wits about her to chat with Roslyn

A whole night out clubbing? She was totally tapped

However, being blunt about it would be such a letdown Faced with Roslyn's eager eyes, she could not bring herself to be a spoilsport and scrambled for an excuse "Tim
