it was evident somekind of calculation was being made ." i've known mascus all my life . he sort of ....fits in between my marriages . some people do , you know . you can't get rid of them ."
"betweeen marriages ? are you between marriages ?
she played with the diamond on herr left hand ." no , but there is work , and there is play . tonight at the dinner roger and i will give , there is a good chance i will be a little bored by person sitting next to me . but not by so much as a flicker will i suggest it , and i will make that person feel good about himself , and it will benefit roger ." she glanced down at the coffee , which had arrived . " i never confuse work and paly ."
gisela had been exceptionally indiscreet and i was curious to know why . across the table , i observed the expertly tinted lid mask the knowing eyes and the question was solved . it was a simple one , even for one whole mathematical skill was limited . gisela knew perfectly well tha6t her secret was safe with me because her husband was my husband 's boss .
by mutual consent we moved on to safer subjectrs - the gard house in france . roger's clutch of directoships , and the rumor that vistemax was being eyed by a german conglomerate . the chelsa houise was in the process of redecoration and gisela was fretting over ythe color schemes ." did i tell you that on the last house she worked on ? she's now living in a bungalow in reading . a case of 'amour du cottage . what do you think the cottage is like ?"
i returned to the office knowing that under gisela 's chloe suit and the matching bulagari jewlry , was a woman who had worked out to the last flutterr of those tinted and mascared eyelashes what was necessary for her survival .
