He leaned in closer and whispered, "And afterward, how about we head to the hotel?"

With a glass of wine in hand, Jessie slowly turned her head to look at him. After a long pause, she asked softly, “Are you aiming to marry me or just looking for a fling?"

The man chuckled awkwardly. "I'd love to marry you but, let's face it, reality bites! Remember, I've got a wife already. She's pretty strict. So, let's keep it casual, just a few rendezvous here and there. If it happens too often, she'll catch on. How about it? A multi-million dollar deal in exchange for a couple of outings. Seems like a fair trade, doesn't it?"

In reality, Jessie had encountered plenty of guys like him before.

It was just surprising that even folks from the same social circle were pulling stunts Like this.
