Darlin', you have got to try these. I'm obsessed. Mm... Where is Robert? I've gotta get him to run home and bring my big bag to take these home with us. What do you think? Did you love it?

Natalie clutched a glass of champagne in sweaty fingers as she attempted to mingle in conversations she wasn't paying any attention to. How was it that she could front the press any time and be cool as a cucumber, but going to a ball with a date was what sent her spiralling? What would people say? What would Rose say?

Suddenly she became aware that someone was looking at her expectantly and she shook her head with a laugh.

"I'm so sorry, I was a million miles away. What did you say?"

Holly had come back to the Upper East Side several weeks ago but had mostly been hiding getting her life set up again. After her most recent divorce she had been left with only her own money, but she had managed enough to set herself up for a good life. Even getting an invite to the event of the year.

"God I almost forgot how all out these parties go for."

I- Yes, it is me, Mrs Fitzherbert. No... No, I changed it back-- Yeah, yes. It was... It was a scandal, that's true. Mhm. I- Okay, I don't know if that's fai-- Right. Sure, I'll see you around. Thank- Thank you.

Hey--- [ she stops the first tray of champagne going by and grabs two glasses ] This is going to be a long night, isn't it?

Nyla Cohan - music producer

fc: Rashida Jones

The Cohan family story starts with a bit of drama. Nyla was actually engaged to her now husbands... well brother. They don't talk about it anymore. Jackson doesn't even fully know the truth. He just knew his mom was in a relationship with someone.

Nyla works as a music producer. Scammed her way into the business initially but now she's very much known.

Grew up upper middle class but that world and this world that she now is in, is vastly different.

Very social - probably where jackson gets his behavior from

Calvin Cohan

fc: Michael Ealy

Calvin and his brother haven't exactly seen eye to eye since he stole Nyla from him. Though they're all over it. Supposedly.

His brother got the family business (talk about unfairness). Calvin built his own from the ground up. Only because he didn't want to work with his brother.

Grew up rich, unlike his wife. He honestly spent thousands courting her but she didn't understand why he was spending so much.

Definitely the spender of the family, nyla much more prefers to save. He constantly reminders her that there's no reason to, they have so much money and are constantly making money.

Secretly cheating on his wife.

Harry felt sick as the message from Howard Archibald flashed across his phone screen. His business, employees, and clients were compromised, he was compromised. He didn't know what to do.

"This can't be happening."

walter montgomery - step-father - oil tycoon (fc chris evans)

- from a wealthy background - originally from boston - oil tycoon - leading his field from a young age and had an iron grip on it ever since he got on the scene - met ece by pure chance when he was in turkey for business she was new to motherhood and was doing it alone. originally she pushed him away but walter wasn't deterred from her being a new mother and over time they grew closer and he helped her out with newborn ceren - walter might not be her bio dad but he adores ceren and gives her everything she wants - the young couple & baby ceren moved to new york and as wealth progressed so did their property portfolio - he bought places around the world, in the upper east side and when that wasn't enough he bought central park tower on west 57th street aka billionaire’s row for the family. the top three floors alone are cerens. - insanely protective of ece and ceren, has security all over the place for them - down bad for his wife - besties with the prescotts, the knightlys and the hunters - can be found in the dad crèche aka sitting with the husbands - he does not like the huntzberger kid sniffing around ceren
