‘What’s wrong?’

‘Nothing’ She tried to inject her usual ready laugh into her voice, but it petered out into a sigh and she lacked the energy to take it up a notch

Instead, she asked hi, whether he had sorted it out They never talked about his work She knew he did high-powered stuff involving complicated finance and tricky acquisitions And she now had a better idea of just how much he owned Enormous amounts of money Co house
