I went into the office and I got cold feet. I was all set to ask him nicely and show him that I deserved it but I lost my nerve at the last moment.
Lenka: That´s a shame. How did it end?
Lukas: He thanked me for my visit, I smiled and left.
Lenka: Beautiful performance. You should write a textbook on office etiquette.

He´s wrapped around my little finger



Lukas:You got another SMS?
Lenka: Yes, from a new man I´m dating.
Lukas: He must really be in love with you if he sends you so many messages.
Do you like him?
Lenka: Well, he´s rich which is a nice change, and I´ve got him wrapped around my little finger so I can get whatever I want and he´s easy to control.
Lukas: Sounds perfect.
Lenka: Ask me in three months to see if I´m bored with the power.
