Dear Sir

The morning was exemplary for me too, in spite of you weirding out on me after the impeccable desk s.e.x. Don't think I didn't notice.

Thank you for breakfast. Or thank Mrs. Jones.

I'd like to ask you questions about her - without you weirding out on me again.

My finger hovers over the send b.u.t.ton, and I am rea.s.sured that I'll be on the other side of the continent this time tomorrow.

'Weirding' is not a verb and should not be used by anyone who wants to go into publis.h.i.+ng. ImpeccableCompared to what, pray tellAnd what do you need to ask about Mrs.

JonesI'm intrigued.

Dear Sir

Language evolves and moves on. It is an organic thing. It is not stuck in an ivory tower, hung with expensive works of art and overlooking most of Seattle with a helipad stuck on its roof.

Impeccable - compared to the other times we have... what's your word... oh yes...

f.u.c.ked. Actually the f**king has been pretty impeccable, period, in my humble opinion -

but then as you know I have very limited experience.

Is Mrs. Jones an ex-sub of yours?

Ana

My finger hovers once more over the send b.u.t.ton, and I press it.

Mrs. Jones is a valued employee. I have never had any relations.h.i.+p with her beyond our professional one. I do not employ anyone I've had any s.e.xual relations with. I am shocked that you would think so. The only person I would make an exception to this rule is you - because you are a bright young woman with remarkable negotiating skills.

Though, if you continue to use such language, I may have to reconsider taking you on here. I am glad you have limited experience. Your experience will continue to be limited

- just to me. I shall take impeccable as a compliment - though with you, I'm never sure if that's what you mean, or if your sense of irony is getting the better of you - as usual.
