The Billionaire Bargain
The celebration took place at Maison Principale.
In the opulently decorated lobby of the glass and steel building, at the centre of Rue du Couvent, the air was filled with the smell of costly perfume, spilled champagne, and roasted botanicals. As Henri led Elizabeth through the crowded group of guests, he gave smooth nods to a number of faces he knew.
"That's Gage Keller," Henri whispered, leaning in slightly so that his breath would caress her ear. "He's a developer and his company, Syntax, now owns half of Vancouver. The young woman who is with him is his wife."
