“Oh, Gordon, where are you working now? Are they still hiring? I think I might be laid off soon!”

Gordon pretended to cough. “Let’s discuss that later, I have something to attend to. I’ll hang up now!” With that, he promptly ended the call.

Gordon didn’t react as explosively as Hilda had earlier. Instead, he grinned and replied, “Seems like you still have high expectations of me. Do you think I’m capable enough to find a mistress?

Hilda scoffed, “You’re hopeless. You’re not even as capable as our son. Can you earn these 20 thousand.
