But if it were, it wouldn't be her. She wasn't some great beauty. There were tons of women in the company prettier than her.

Romina's secretary had explained why the vice president was setting up a date between her and River. Marissa remained skeptical, but after thinking it over, she agreed.

If River took a liking to her, even if she lost her job at Lafond, maybe she could work at Yantail.
