Shocked to see the lady yet again, the manager looked around to see where that glib-tongued salesman was… He was nowhere in sight.
The woman was literally crowding him out of the office, he was being brushed aside, but more importantly, sweat was trickling down his forehead.
'Phew, never seen anyone with so much talking power,' he thought.
'I was just thinking about the supplies,' the manager said slowly. 'I mean, we don't have space for another door…'
'That's fine, don't worry about it. I'm here to discuss the security issue. Can you give me a cup of tea? I do need a few minutes with the other manager, I'd like to hear his side of things…
'Oh, my poor speech. After all the trouble I've taken these last few days, how could I forget?'
'It's fine, really. You were telling me about the idea of allowing guests to take a bath? A few more shares, and we'd be able to get a lot more in. Let you have a bath?' the manager asked suddenly.
'Well, actually, I was hoping we might install a few extra doors to open to the bathrooms, like, in the morning. The workers would have access, and as they can afford it, they would be able to take a bath in the evening.'
'You're planning to... hang around?' the manager asked, fascinated.
'Well, I'm not running away…'
'We need to get the bathroom partitioning done, but the fund is always so short of money that it's impossible, and there's the old lady, and the other thing…' the manager explained.
'Is he ok?' the woman said to the manager, though she had already known.
'Yes yes, I know very well what you're up to. But… That's what I'm here to discuss. Is he ok? Does he need the lock changed?'
'Don't you know? I thought you said you knew everything!'
'Don't shake your head! Actually, I've found a couple of ways to get doors in the office… Uh… For the bathroom.'
'And I was asking if it was ok? Now you tell me? You think I don't have the constitution or something, that I can't handle my own affairs, and want you to tell me exactly what he needs or wants?'
'I wouldn't know. I don't know what you and him need…'
The manager and lady looked at each other, shaking their heads in disgust.
'I guess it's not a good idea, at the moment.'
Indeed, the woman went off to the bathroom to talk to her lover, and he used the opportunity to zip up the office door.
Shareholders soon emerged with babies, grannies, there were very few elderly people in the world with full access to work, and they were available. Some rooms opened into the bathrooms.
The customers liked it. They took a bath in the morning at night, no one was looking. It was a gold bath in a mansion. A little bath.
