It's a nice car.
Oh, and I've also installed a car seat.

" His words dripped with insincerity and a hint of reproach.
Melissa's lips curled into a sneer.

In a calm, almost soothing tone he said, "There is a platinum car in the console, with 20 million dollars in it. The PIN number is Matthew's birthday.
You can swipe it first.
Handle it yourself, Melissa.
I'm in a meeting," he instructed before abruptly ending the call.
