Benedict: [photo]

Janie: What is that, the world’s smallest appetizer?

Benedict: Yes, and also the most expensive. I bet your spaghetti tastes better too.

Janie: Doubtful. Are you in the city?

Benedict: Someplace called Milwaukee

Janie: Working dinner?

Benedict: Always. (If by working you mean eating and getting pissed with my employees.)

Janie: Everyone in the world is not your employee

Benedict: Almost

Janie: What are you actually doing on these trips?

Benedict: Miss me?

Janie: Bye, Benedict

Benedict: Oh alright, woman! I have been doing every appearance Dad and his cronies in the C-Suite don’t want to do. He doesn’t want to come stateside as much anymore. Important ribbon cuttings and fundraisers. Product launches and property unveilings. I really just stand and look hot for the official photos.

Janie: Ever so humble

Benedict: Humility is for poor people

Janie: um, wow.

Benedict: Just trying to make you flush with rage. Are you flushed? Take a photo

Janie: Why do I answer your texts?

Benedict: Because I’m your husband.

Benedict: Your hot husband.

Janie: Preening for photos and taking women out for dinner. Sounds like you’ve found your calling.

Benedict: Women?

Janie: Isn’t that what you meant by employees?

Benedict: [selfie]

Benedict: As you can see, Mrs. Clark, there are four men and one woman at dinner, whom I am not sitting next to, as I am a happily married man.

Janie: You can sit by whoever you want

Benedict: Sure ;)

Janie: I mean it, I don’t even know why I asked

Benedict: Of course ;)

Janie: Quit it
