Allie is enjoying herself at her company's anniversary party, although she's pretty sure she'll be happier when she's finally able to snag the attention of the bartender. What she doesn't anticipate is being offered money if she pretends to be Lucien's date for the night, but after Lucien is able to secure her the much-needed ginger ale, she agrees, imagining the story she'll be able to tell her friends later. Except the pretense turns into something she never expects when she agrees to Lucien's simple request. All thanks to Chase Kneeland, the gorgeous IT guy, who has a "simple request" of his own that Allie finds irresistable.
