“Aren’t you afraid I’ll call Uncle Carlos?”
Debbie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.
“I’m not afraid. You know, we just did the nasty. What more can he do?”
There was a moment of silence from the other side of the door.
The apartment door flew open. Much to Debbie’s surprise, she saw Megan and Stephanie standing in the doorway, both wearing dark expressions

“So, how much did Stephanie hear?
That’s okay. Now I can kill two birds with one stone. It’ll save time,
* she thought cheerfully to herself.
“Don’t listen to her, Aunt Stephanie. She’s a liar. Uncle Carlos couldn’t have…” Megan stopped abruptly, as she saw what Debbie was hiding under her scart

The singer wore a smug smile. Ignoring their shocked faces, she walked past them and made her way to the Living room. She had the designer handbag in hand and was wearing her new dress, all bought with Carlos money.

Not just Megan, Stephanie also recognized the brand. After all, they were raised in the upper-class circles. Luxury brands were common in the worlds they were from.

In order to spend more twith Carlos, she had resigned sof her positions within the corporate structure. She had left scommittees and board postings. Consequently, her annual incwas about one third of what it was.

Debbie said as she rested her chin in her right hand, glancing at
Stephanie, a playful look in her eyes.
Megan bit her lower lip.
“So, you got a dress and a purse? What are you bragging? Am I supposed to be jelly? This says way more about you… than it does about me.”
