Maxim pays someone at the curb to take our bags and check us in, so we can go straight to the security line. There, he pays someone for us to cut in line.
I’ve forgotten how nice it is to travel with a powerful man. It’s not that I didn’t have money in my purse when I went back and forth between California and Moscow. But it wasn’t the same. I’ve been sheltered my whole life. My years at USC were off the charts fun—having freedom and developing friendships—but I was still just a college student. I had no power.
I didn’t know how to grease wheels or who to bribe. But maybe that’s only a secret club for men, anyway. Women rely on their beauty to get special favors. It’s always worked for me.
My minidress gets me plenty of attention. Honestly, it’s way more something I’d wear to go
