the ice clinked my teeth and sent an unpleasant frisson through the enamel ." technically , can one commit adultery with one's ex-spouse ?"
" so you think it's like that ?"
"no ," i denied quickly ." no ." i changed the subject ." i'm thinking of going back to work full time ." i recollected deb's nasty expression ." there were tensions when you work part time , and i never feel i am giving it myu full attention ."
" i admire your working in an office . i found never do it . have never done it ."
"you entertain , run the houses . that 's not hard work ? i think it is ."
gisela spread out her hand , nails sculptured and polished . skin creamed ." remember , i have time to concentrate on one thing . i don't have children or a job , so i can give my all to the husband of the day . nice and simple ." she closed her eyes briefly ." but tiring from time to time ."
her mobile shrilled . gisela gestured toward it apologetically ." do you mind ...?" it will be roger . he likes to check up on arrangements about this time ." nop one could accuse gisela of shrinrking her duties . she ran through roger's schedule ." meeting at two - thirty tomorrow . three -thirty - five you are seeing mr . evans in harley street . remmeber annabel's birthday .... and roger , the guests are arriving at seven o'clock sharp ." there was more in this vein , so much so that i had finished my apriciot aand arugula salad by the end of the call .
