"Let's just say, my family is kind of in business with the airline, so the tickets were a perk!" he took a sip from his champagne.
I sat on the most comfortable seat, putting my handbag down, "what kind of business is it again?"
He breathed out, "real estate, investment, nothing interesting really."

"So your family is like fucking rich?!" i said almost unsure.
I watched as he knotted his eye brows, "We're...comfortable?!"
I can't believe this!
"That is exactly what a person from a fucking rich family would say," i rolled my eyes. Making my voice deep i mimicked some of the people i heard before, "We manage. We're comfortable." I took a deep breath, "it's not like its a problem or anything. I just think it's kinda wierd that I didn't know shit, you know. I mean, you use my Netflix password, you have a Love&Coffee cup card, you play basketball in my hood, near those trashcans."
He chuckled and put his hand in mine, "i love that place, thank you very much."
"That's not the point!" i rolled my eyes.

When her baby has grown into a smart girl and starts questioning the father's absence, Charlotte's parenting is being tested. Her worst fear is having to tell her 7-year-old daughter that she was conceived in a one-night stand with a total stranger. Out of panic, Charlotte chooses to lie, promising herself she will tell the girl the truth when she's a little older.
The best-laid plan turns to hell as fate decides to bring the man back into her life when she least expects it. And worse, he's the CEO she's cross with at her new workplace. Hell breaks loose. Charlotte is eventually confronted by her own lies.
