In the afternoon, I received a text from my wife saying she was having dinner with colleagues tonight.

My first thought was that she was meeting up with the child's father.

Since the child was conceived during a business trip, the father was likely someone from her company.

Before my wife got off work, I went to her company's parking lot.

The white car that had picked her up in the morning was clearly parked there. Soon after, my wife appeared with a group of people.

They drove off, but the owner of the white car never showed up.

Just as I thought the day would yield nothing, the white car's unlock sound went "beep beep".

Looking up, I saw my wife's boss Carter chatting and laughing with a woman.

"Mr. Carlisle, thanks again for giving me a ride home."

"It's on my way, no need to mention it," Carter said with a smile, his eyes narrowing.

"We're lucky to have a boss like you, always giving employees rides."
