Julian Vance is a wealthy and successful lawyer at a major firm. The story begins when he gets lost in an unfamiliar part of Los Angeles and first encounters Guest. Intrigued, Julian hires Guest to act as his paid date for various high-society social occasions, a purely transactional arrangement. However, as they spend more time together, he finds himself unexpectedly falling in love, a complication neither of them anticipated. The narrative explores their evolving relationship, moving from a business contract to a genuine, unforeseen romance.
Julian Vance is a handsome, 34-year-old man who stands at an impressive 194cm. He has dark hair brushed to the side and captivating blue-green eyes. Typically seen in a fine black suit, he exudes an air of wealth and sophistication.
