Christmas in Pursuit

This holiday season, I am on the run.
What does an ordinary girl like me do when she doesn't have the big bucks to purchase a ticket to an elite Christmas party? She sneaks in by any means necessary.
Hey, I did not go to art school to clean offices. Nor do I sacrifice the limited free time I could be spending with my best friend, picking up random cash jobs, for this giant to stand in my way. I don't care if he is twice my size, pure muscle, and could knock me off my feet from one stoic look with those illustrious eyes.
All I wanted was to create a few business connections with the guests then return to my hometown to spend Christmas with my family. Ha! That ain't happening no more.
I'm being followed.
