His weekly salary is 94.7 US dollars But he can rent a single apartment for 80 dollars per month. In theory, he should be a young man who loves a good life and has high requirements on the quality of life. Unfortunately, this single apartment is not something he can enjoy anytime, anywhere. The other senior managers of the company meet privately in the safe house of their lover. Day after day, year after year. But what can he do? As a small shrimp at the bottom of the company, he can only swallow his voice, even if it rains heavily outside, he can only Looking at the lights in her house
, she was shivering while sitting on a park bench. The waitress who opened the elevator in Fran's company building was young, beautiful, and full of energy. Baxter was deeply attracted by her temperament, and he was the only one. A man taking his hat off in an elevator, perhaps in those days, hats were a status symbol for a man (as can be seen from the fact that Baxter bought a new hat for $15 after he was later upgraded to Junior Administrator), and he also gave Fran Impressed.

    Misleading keys, illusions in the neighborhood, broken makeup mirrors, hidden blades, shots in the past, farewell hats, champagne out of the box, re-entering the card game.
