don't judge a book by its cover

Chapter 1 My name is Charlie, Charlie Goodwin. I am 28 years old and still single, and now I sound like a dating profile. I started running my family company at the age of 22 years old while still in college and my baby brother was in high school at the age of 18 years old. Our parents died in a plane crash and, since we didn't have any other family, I raised my little brother, going to school and running the Goodwin enterprise, but one thing i am glad for is my two best friends i had by my side. They helped me a lot even after they got married and had kids. They both work for me as my right hand, and I am happy every day there in my life. I just wish my brother will find someone new and settle down. Mary-Ann: good morning miss CEO.. Michael Michael: don't tell me Mary-Ann: yep she has left again I know what you may be thinking.
