So, Liza's secret lived to see another day. You are a role model for every young girl with an English degree who.ĭid anyone else forget that Charles was still legally married to Pauline? I can see her coming back at the worst time to try to sabotage Charles and Liza by revealing her real age.īut worst of all, if Liza told the truth about her age, people would assume Charles was dating Kelsey. You are a role model for every young girl with an English degree who wants to believe that she didn't throw away four years of her life, okay? Lauren Quinn wanted to be strategic in their gameplay since the topic of ageism would overshadow the launch of their company run entirely by women, as would news of Liza's identity fraud topped with Charles' affair while still being married. Liza and Charles took their time to get to know each other and nurture a friendship before moving into a romantic relationship, but the bedrock of their relationship has been based on a lie.Īnd though Liza thought she'd be able to come clean about her age now that Charles had stepped away from Empirical, it turns out there's never a good moment to own up to downplaying your age.Ī leaked report was going to reveal that Charles has been having an affair with a 26-year-old. It's an immense amount of pressure to put on a relationship that is already on a rocky foundation. In both situations, much has been sacrificed and much more is at stake, and failure isn't an option. The pressure is on not only for Charles and Liza but also for Kelsey and Empirical/Millennial. It would explain why he isn't too concerned about his future. Maybe he had something in the works before stepping down from Empirical, and he never told Liza about it? Liza flat out said that Charles gave up everything to be with her, but what if he didn't? : Since you were 26 and now you're 42.
But it's okay because I did it for the woman I love.Ĭharles: I think I pretty much had feelings for you for sixteen years.Ĭharles: Since you were 26 and now you're 42. Liza: Is it wrong of me to say that a part of me just really misses you there?Ĭharles: Yeah, I miss being there too. What could two guys who have only ever known the publishing world possibly be meeting about?ĭoes Charles plan to open up his own publishing house?
He's not very good at lying to Liza and though she smiled and nodded, you could tell she too had her suspicions. "Just two guys trying to figure out their next move" sounds innocent enough, but it was the way Charles said it that rubbed me the wrong way. However, it isn't necessarily a good thing simply because of how Charles blatantly lied to Liza about the meeting.
