Life Is Not Simple Like The Way You Are

Hey, hey, don't you think Lori is a dubious person?
You mean Lori-as in Robert's assistant, Ms. West?
That's her!
Dubious...? I thought Robert is married and has kids, right?
That's the reason why I am suspicious about her!
I...don't know what you're talking about so... How's she dubious?
Well, you know how he likes ‘‘girls’’.
Yep, I can't deny that. All men like ‘‘girls’’ though.
That's not what I am talking about! When we talk about Robert like he is a dandy cool guy, she gets really adamant and says bad things about him.
Hmm... Maybe, she doesn't like Robert.
Leave it to a man that to come up with such a simple explanation.
Oh for God's sake! OK, keep going.
So later we asked him out to dinner; she was right there in front of us at the time.
Women are so scary.
You can't say women are scary because of such a silly example! Anyway, listen to me!
OK, ok!
Then, it seems she got flustered and tried to come with us for stupid reasons like ‘‘it's not safe to be alone with him.’’
That means you should mind your own business.
Yeah, she should.
No, I'm talking about you. It's none of your business! Haha.
If she likes him, she should say so.
