The Masked Stripper is my Wife.
“It must be depressing, Martha. All these years working here, doing everything to get Mr. Owell’s attention, but he’s never looked your way. No wonder you’re bitter. Desperation doesn’t look good on you, It’s ageing you faster than time ever could.”
Her mouth opened, then shut again, but I didn’t wait for her comeback, I slid my earbuds in and let the music drown out her nonsense. The truth was, I wasn’t as calm inside as I pretended to be, and I wasn’t here to play games with Mr Owell either. If he ever tried to cross the line with me, I wouldn’t hesitate to kick him wherever it hurt, job or no job. But for now, I had to be smart, I need this paycheck.
