#Chapter 24 Whispers of Romance

DORIS It was my first full week at Heritage Properties. They assigned me a mentor named Kate. That's more than Andrea's firm ever did for me. Kate was a great teacher. She let me follow her around all week. Because Heritage Properties mostly covered a different section of Manhattan and properties in a much higher price range, the commissions were bigger. It also meant I needed a newer and more upscale wardrobe. I called Nina and asked her to go shopping with me. Of course, the first words out of Nina’s mouth were, “How many times have you had sex with Mystery Man since I’ve seen you last? Is he as good in bed since the one time you paid him?” She frowned. “You’re not still paying him, are you?” I gave her a light, playful slap on the arm as we entered the clothing store Nina picked. “Keep your voice down.” “One,” I answered her, “Zero times.” I held up my fingers for each question I answered. "Two, I can only imagine he'd be as good or better."
