We were always self-sufficient. We had good jobs, our own apartment, a car, and a stable income. We paid our own bills, bought everything we needed, and never looked for a man for his money.

But for some reason we were always unlucky with dates.

One man hinted at expensive gifts, another "forgot" his wallet every time, a third spent his salary on betting and then asked for a loan. Some outright believed that a woman should support a man if she loved him.

That's why we've almost stopped expecting anything serious from dating.

Until one day we met him.

He introduced himself as an ordinary office worker. He said he earned a good salary, lived alone, and preferred a quiet life. No expensive cars, designer clothes, or ostentatious luxury.

On the first date, he even offered to split the bill.

We calmly agreed.

He turned out to be surprisingly pleasant: attentive, calm, and not at all trying to live at our expense. The more we talked, the more we wanted to get to know him better.

There was just one problem.

He lied.

In fact, he was the owner of a huge international company and a billionaire whose name regularly appeared in business news.

He hid his condition deliberately.

Over the years of his wealth, he'd encountered too many people who were only interested in his money. So on first dates, he always presented himself as an ordinary person.

But with us everything was different.

We never asked about his salary, didn't hint at gifts, and calmly paid for ourselves.

He began to realize that for the first time he had met a person who might actually be interested in him.

And now there was only one question left:

What will happen when we find out who he really is?
