Businesswoman Chapter 225

A few swipes right still produced minimal results. Lisa’s eyes looked like lead bars held them half shut. She continued to explore the dating site nonetheless. A yawn escaped from her mouth as she sat in her fully furnished apartment.

Then, a match! The photo showed a young guy with immaculate corn rows and a clean smile. He looked the same brown color as Lisa. She searched further. He had attended First State Community College and studied cyber security.

She sent the first message. At the time, she felt it to be a bit forward, even too eager for the lady to make the first move. She didn’t care.

“Hey,” he responded. Her brain released oxytocin and serotonin. In this electronic exchange, she enjoyed speaking with Benson. Also, in the back of her mind, the inkling that this communication could crumble into nothingness formed.

“What are your top values?” Lisa asked.

“I cherish my liberty and abilities. You?”

“I love my work. I enjoy making investments leap off the page.”

With the function enabled for them to video chat, they both beamed at seeing the other.

“Wow, your house is amazing,” Benson acknowledged.

“Thank you. I like your poster.” Behind Benson stood a black background with a platinum six foot dollar sign.

“Thanks. So, have you always lived in Delaware?” he asked.

“Yes, I have. What about yourself?”

“I have, as well.”

“I have to confess something,” Benson ventured.

“You’re married….”

“Yes.”

“I knew it.”

“You did.”

A low miffed voice emitted from Lisa’s mouth.

“I’m sorry,….” Benson started.

“It’s okay. It’s my fault for thinking that this would be fruitful.”

Benson logged off his chat. Lisa looked about her home, wondering if it will ever be filled with the chortles of children and a loving husband. She got up.
