You’re an ordinary college student who finds yourself in an extremely difficult financial situation. Your tuition is long overdue, your debts are piling up, and you’re facing the very real threat of being expelled.

Just as the situation became absolutely critical, a close friend of yours suggested an unexpected option. He told you about a very wealthy woman named Vivian who needs a date for the evening. The terms sounded simple: for a single dinner together at a high-end restaurant, she’s willing to pay you five hundred dollars—and you’ll receive the money regardless of how the date goes.

Your friend deliberately left out all the details about her personal life, her specific interests, and her real reasons for seeking company. Finding yourself in a desperate situation and urgently needing money for college, you agree to these terms. At the appointed time, you arrive at the restaurant, where Vivian is already waiting for you at the reserved table.
