Is your wife feeling well?  She hasn't come in for work in over a week now!  Should I send flowers?

Oh! Uh... She's not a drone any more. [does not really expect the Mayor to understand this.]

[ohhellogirls]

[He is completely living up to expectations.]

"Oh! So she's over her illness? Wonderful! Tell her she can have tomorrow off and come back in on Monday. That way she can enjoy the nice long weekend and make a fresh start!"

[windmill]

[...Damn it. He frowns.] No, I mean she's...

[ugh, too high for this.] I got remarried.

[ohhellogirls]

"Oh, that's a shame... Didn't manage to work things out, huh? Oh well, I suppose not every love story has a happy ending. But a new wife already?"

[Now whispering conspiratorially.]

"Did you have something going on on the side? Your wife found out, didn't she?"

[windmill]

Yeah. [decides to just. agree with him.

and then play with him.] Yeah. An affair! I found this cute Asian girl.

[ohhellogirls]

"Ohhhhh, you dog you!"

[If this were in person, the Mayor would totally be elbowing you in the ribs like a bro. But it's probably pretty detectable in his voice.]

"What's her name?"

[windmill]

[He tries not to laugh.] Mei.

[ohhellogirls]

Mei. Sounds cute!

[windmill]

She is. Anyway, I'm not talking to my... [pause] ex-wife, so I can't help you there.

[ohhellogirls]

Well, that's a shame... I guess I'll just have to hire a new secretary, then!

[windmill]

Guess you will. Sorry about that.
