LoL... real life... my married colleague was working with his wife (around 30) in the same office, old wrinkly not even good looking but loaded boss who had charisma fucked her and once everything blew up, they divorced, company kicked husband from company and boss retired with her in the Seychelles where she instructs scuba diving. All my friend could do is to negotiate 6 months of severance pay instead of offered 3 months, so he doesn't drag boss through HR on multi-national level (local HR was deep in boss's ass). Guy could be happy he didnt earn much more than she does, cause she could even take half during divoce proceedings with no remorse.
Your second paragraph is actually planned story, after shopping mall they will go in the club. Your thoughts regarding Erica are same as mine in this regard, they will attend with either Steve or MC.
