Serena gave Nicholas a look of feigned shock when he told her that he was at the party chasing women and then asked if he could seduce her. “I don’t think my husband would be very happy to know what one of his colleges was trying to do to his wife…” she replied with a smile. Although Nicholas was being extremely rude Serena couldn’t help but be amused by his brashness. It was the first time since she had moved to D.C. that she had a conversation that was witty and intelligent.<br/><br/>Nicholas was correct when he had said they should be in the party mingling, especially Serena. She should be at her husband’s side supporting him. But from her initial encounter with the other wives and partners, Serena knew that it was a ‘closed-shop’. She wasn’t going to allowed into the inner sanctum until her husband landed a management position that was deemed sufficiently important. Despite that, she knew she should be out there, but the ‘supporting wife’ role was not her. Of course, she would support her husband but she was not going to take part in any of the corporate posturings.<br/><br/>Instead, Serena decided she was having more fun with her new acquaintance. Despite the inappropriate remarks she felt at ease with Nicholas and decided she would have some fun of her own, see if she could surprise him. “So before I go and find my husband, what would you do to seduce me? What special technique do you have for leading faithful wives astray?...” she said with a wide grin and a raised eyebrow.<br/>
