The Chief indicates the two empty chairs and I take one that’s slightly closer to the cute lawyer. The Chief asks what I’m drinking and I glance at what the cute blonde has.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Whatever she’s drinking would be fine. I’m all choosed out from traveling. Maybe take some time off in Cali when this case is done.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">The lawyer still doesn’t speak and I hopefully unobtrusively slide my chair slightly closer to her with my hand closest to her on the armrest under the table as I turn to listen as The Chief continues.</span></span><br/><br/>“I don’t think there’s much to discuss in anticipation of tomorrow.  If we like, we can gossip over what might be happening between Peter and Jaclyn. I mean between Mr. Warcaof and Ms. Rosendahl.”<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Much to unpack here.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">“Before we get to the gossip, what’s tomorrow? Is that why what’s her name came here from Europe? Should I be there and where’s there? And who all will be there?”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Stay discrete, Peggy. ‘From Europe’ should be enough for The Chief to know I’m talking about du Monde.!</span></span><br/>
