The morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of a presidential suite, illuminating the lavish room. A quick glance at my phone showed a fifteen-thousand-dollar transfer notification, a reminder of last night's debauchery.

As the light flickered on, it illuminated my reflection – a vision of understated beauty, poised and ready for the day's transformation.
