The crisp autumn air nipped at Amelia's cheeks as she waited. Mark, her "financial advisor," had been spinning tales for months. Of course, he's rich, he has "clients" and does "stocks". Today, she'd finally uncover the truth. She adjusted her camera.

She watched him enter a small, cluttered storefront. "Mark's Magnificent Mugs," the sign read. Inside, he was carefully arranging ceramic coffee cups. Amelia covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. This was beyond anything she'd imagined.

Mark exited, a smug look on his face. "Amelia! What a surprise!" he exclaimed. "Ready for that lavish dinner I promised you? Heard you've been working hard as well!" Amelia linked arms with him, her eyes sparkling. "Oh, Mark, absolutely. And tell me all about the intricacies of the mug business!" She squeezed his arm, feeling a bubble of delight.
