You’re no fun.
That’s not news to anyone.
OK, you want me to amend the contract. Am I allowed to ask why?
She’s afraid of me.
What?
It makes sense. She’s a single woman, living in an isolated area, on my property. The situation was making her uncomfortable. So I gave her permission to do whatever research she wanted.
Got it.
Also, take out the NDA. She should be able to talk to whoever she wants.
What? What the hell is going on over there?
Did you sleep with her?
No.
Jesus. Why would you even ask that?
Because you just told me to burn her NDA.
Your point?
You’ve always been fierce about employees signing NDAs.
Even before this shit with Ava.
Given this sudden, drastic change in attitude, I think it’s a reasonable question.
Fuck off.
If you’ve slept with her, I need to know. As your lawyer, I need to be able to protect you. If you’d brought me into the loop with Ava, before things got serious, I could have helped.
Fuck.
Off.
I’m serious.
So am I.
Okay then, as your friend.
I’m worried. This isn’t like you. Even with Ava, you had an NDA.
You’re the one who hired her. You’re the one who refused to fire her when I came to you last week.
Is that supposed to make me less worried that my best friend and most important client is acting out of character?
Fine.
No, I didn’t sleep with her.
Okay. Then why not just tell me that?
