– Hey Carole, you look like you slightly put on weight, don’t you think ?

– No I don’t think so. I am pretty sure it’s my suit. It’s tightly bound. And today for lunch, there was spaghetti bolognese at the cafeteria …

“If I ware you, I would have taken a green salad!”– Your new haircut is not awesome. A way too short. Poor thing, you look ten years older!

– You must be kidding, I asked for Cristina Cordula’s haircut.

Eventually I pay at the bar and as I was …

– Come on Carole, go straight to the point, I have a meeting starting in five minutes. So, all the time to finish my cigarette, my coffee, to go to the loo and …

“Don’t push your luck too far, Vero, you order me to cut short and you give so many insignificant details. Okay, I’m back. Where was I … Oh yes, the payment. So I pay, I put away my credit card and ticket in my wallet and …

“You do it on purpose, I’m sure!”

“Leaving the coffee shop, I have come across your husband, smooching a sulphurous golden blond hair girl barely …” “Hey, Véro, come back, I’m not done with you yet!”
