THREE TIMES A CHARM

Chapter One

CHARLOTTE flicked open her laptop and began typing away. She had a marketing plan due in just two days and although she was given more than a month to do it, she procrastinated and landed herself almost last in a tight race against time to produce a plan worthy of implementation. Charlotte had been blessed with one of the greatest jobs in the world. Well at least for her that’s what it felt like to be working as the Marketing Manager for Trenton and Associates.

It was his hesitation to befriend her that made Charlotte take a good look in the mirror and discover her heritage.

Charlotte always knew she was different. There was something special about her that she felt the world needed to know. She wasn’t just an ordinary black girl living in Grenada and when she got to London she was determined to make everyone she met understand just who she was. Her father was Patrick
