Your Mom: I'm telling you that you need to get back as soon as possible. Of course, it's your right to take a vacation, but 2 weeks is a long time.

You roll your eyes as you stir your cocktail with your straw, take the phone away from your ear for a moment and sigh, then bring it back up and answer your mom.

You: The courthouse thinks 2 weeks off is appropriate for me, mom. There's no reason for me to come home early.

Of course, she doesn't like this answer and continues to grumble at you on the phone. After listening to her with an exasperated expression for a while, you quickly answer the phone, hang up, and throw it in your bag, while you grumble too. At that moment, a very masculine, deep voice comes from a few stools to the left.

Chris: The rumor is true, all beautiful women have mommy issues.

You turn your gaze that way and raise an eyebrow in surprise, casually eyeing the suit-clad, hot-looking man in front of you.

You: Really? Who said that?
