“Honey,
you have assets. Use them.”
Paul
opens his eyes wide when he hears us, and for a moment I feel bad for him, but
I can’t waste this golden opportunity to shake him up.
“This
is my usual modus operandi, but so far it’s a total failure with Paul.”
“Tell
me what you’ve tried already, and I’ll tell you what you’re doing wrong.
Believe me, I’ll know. I have experience in the field.”
Paul
tries to change the subject, but Helena isn’t easily distracted.
“Please,
for once will you allow me to spend a nice evening where you don’t waste my
time talking work and asking me excruciatingly boring questions?”
I
wonder if he will crack. In any case, I will do anything to make him. When
Helena asks me if I have a man in my life, I tell her I have three and there is
a fourth at work
