In a chance encounter, Eloise caught the attention of a powerful figure while under the influence. Desperate for help, she sought him out, unaware of his attraction to her youthful beauty. As time passed, she discovered his heart belonged to someone else. He gradually distanced himself, leaving Eloise to face countless nights alone. Eventually, she received a check and a casual farewell. Instead of tears, she took the check and calmly said, "Mr. Horigan, maybe we'll never meet again!"
Years later, their paths crossed once more, but Eloise had moved on. With remorseful eyes, he admitted, "Eloise, I pursued you first." She smiled softly, replying, "Attorney Horigan, you were the one who ended things! If you want to be with me now, you'll have to wait in line..."
The next day, Eloise received a billion-dollar deposit and a diamond ring. Attorney Horigan knelt before her, saying, "Miss Eloise, I'm willing to cut in line."
