After the crew got their hands on the money, they each set off on their own paths. Amita headed to Paris, hoping to find her soulmate. Nineball started working on her dream bar, and Constance decided to try her luck as a YouTuber. Daphne ventured into film production, while Rose found her creative spark again and dove back into design. Tammy began laying the groundwork for her own company, with Charlotte providing guidance to ensure she didn't fall prey to scams.

As for Debbie, she achieved everything she wanted - a successful heist and the woman of her dreams. She and Tammy reconciled their feelings and decided to give their relationship another shot. Debbie even showed a remarkable interest in Tammy's children.. Even though she was still living with Lou, Debbie began spending more time at Tammy's place, also embracing the role of stepmother, how the team liked to tease her..

Lou bought her dream bike, and Charlotte made an investment plan and added money to a fund for her sister's children. She also started planning changes in her company, intending to step down as CEO but retain ownership.

The first month was a whirlwind for Charlotte as she trained her trusted employee to take over as CEO. Despite their busy schedules, she and Lou managed to stay connected through daily texts and calls. Lou even surprised Charlotte at her office one day with lunch and flowers.

Once things settled down a bit, Charlotte and Lou finally found time for their much-anticipated dinner date. Lou insisted on planning the date and kept all the details a secret from Charlotte.

"Lou! Can you at least tell me what to wear?" Charlotte asked Lou on the phone the day before their date.

"I'll let you know soon enough." Charlotte could hear Lou smirking.

She was getting impatient, "But it's tomorrow! I need to know!"

Lou just laughed and told Charlotte to be ready by seven because she'd pick her up. Then she hung up before Charlotte could get any more informations out of her.

Charlotte shook her head, a sense of frustration washing over her. Being kept in the dark was not something she was comfortable with. She was a planner, not knowing what to expect was a feeling she despised. Yet, despite all this, she trusted Lou. She knew that whatever Lou had planned, it would be worth the wait.

Charlotte was right, of course. That evening, she received a message from Lou that simply read, "Open the door." Rushing to the door, she expected to see Lou, but instead found a package. She scanned the area, but Lou was nowhere in sight. Closing the door, she opened the package to find a note that read, "Does that answer your question?"

Underneath the note was a beautiful black dress adorned with gold chains and glittering floral brooches. It wasn't just any dress - it was a Chanel dress. "Oh my god, she's crazy," Charlotte muttered to herself.

She hurried upstairs, nearly tripping in her haste to try on the dress

She hurried upstairs, nearly tripping in her haste to try on the dress. It fit her perfectly, as if Lou had somehow known her exact measurements. The dress was stunning and even accentuated her figure.

Remembering that she had left Lou hanging, Charlotte quickly dialed her number. As soon as Lou picked up, Charlotte blurted out, "You're crazy, Lou Miller."

"But do you like it?" Lou asked nervously.

"I love it, thank you so much," Charlotte reassured her.

"I can't wait to see you in it," Lou said, her voice filled with anticipation.

"I can't wait to see what you'll be wearing," Charlotte replied.

"Tomorrow," Lou promised.

"I would talk to you longer, but now I gotta go try on some shoes."

Lou laughed and said, "Okay okay, go. See you later."

They exchanged goodbyes and ended the call. Charlotte then hurried to her closet and pulled out the perfect pair of gold high-heeled sandals to match the dress. Now everything was perfect. She couldn't wait to see Lou and for Lou to see her in the dress she had picked out herself.
