Everyone at the party was either loaded or influential. But Flossie seemed intent on keeping her boyfriend’s identity under wraps.

In high spirits, Flossie tossed her bag to the side and went straight to Benny.

“I made some cash from that deal with Edmund. I figured since your friends’ boyfriends are big shots, I’d match up. I didn’t want you feeling left out.”
“I don’t compare you to anyone,” Flossie said as she squeezed his arm. “Just being with you makes me happy.”
Benny ruffled her hair, grinning. “I got you covered now. Just kick back and chill at home.”
Flossie beamed but stood her ground. “I am not about the leisure life. I like to hustle and build up my career.”
Benny cupped her face, planting a ki*s on her cheek. “Well, it’s your call, babe.”
With that, he led her to the dining room. They walked hand in hand.
“I have some fine wine to celebrate. Will you join me?”
On the table sat a bottle and two glasses.
Flossie halted Benny as he reached for the bottle.
“I’ve got gastritis,” she fibbed. “I can’t drink.”
“Are you okay?” Benny’s brow furrowed with concern. “Have you been eating some sketchy stuff? I’ll take you to the doctor.”
“Don’t bother.” Flossie waved him off. “I have some medicines. I’ll bounce back. There’s no need to be concerned about me.”
“That’s good to hear.” Benny sighed, relieved.
He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Oh, and I’ve got plans for us tomorrow.”
