夫也在申辩。

“Is that all, now?” she ask.
“现在没事了吧？”

“Well, yes, or is there something else I should know?” he answered, suspicion in his clean shaven face. Jeffery, yuppie to the max, was always as close to perfection in his appearance as he could be. He was young, ambitious, and totally focused. He was a very much “no nonsense” man. It had made him wealthy and successful.
“唔，没事了，或许有一件事我应该知道吧？”他说，一种怀疑的神色浮现在他那张刮得光溜溜的脸上。杰夫是彻头彻尾的雅皮士，一向仔细地全力打扮自己的外表。他年轻，豪迈，引人注目。他为人准则是“杜绝蠢事”。正是这样，他事业成功，财运亨通。

“No, nothing else on that, but it is Friday and I am going to make this a half day. I have some things I need to tend to since the weekend is here.” Marla returned.
“没有啊，没什么事。只是今天是星期五，我想利用这半天。有些东西要料理，因为周末到了嘛。”

He stared at her silently with a probing look and then seeming to find nothing amiss, he said in a generous mood. “I don’t see a problem with that. Go ahead and take the rest of the day off.”
他用寻根究底的目光注视着她， 结果没有发现什么毛病，然后用大方的口吻说，“没问题。你去吧，放你半天假。”

“Thanks, boss.” she said, sugar-sweet, but kept her thought of “I was going to do it anyway!” to herself. She smiled at him and sashayed out of his office, disguising her irritation under a calm demeanor.
“谢谢老板。”她说，心里一阵高兴，但是，一句话压在心里不说出来，“不管你怎么说，我都是要走的。”她对他一笑，大摇大摆地走出他的办公室，外表平静，肚子里愤愤不平。

“I suppose I should worry if he would fire me or not. But, “ she continued to think, “I am really good at what I do. The best he has ever had as he has reluctantly admitted. Still…best make sure to be more careful next time.”
她边走边想，“他会不会解雇我吗？我确实干得很好了。他雇员中，我是最称职的。这一点他自己已经承认了，虽然他很勉强说出口。下次最好要当心了。”

She finished up some last minor details at her desk, placed some more paperwork and a proposal yet to be presented in her briefcase, and left the office at one pm. She retrieved her car, now with a very full tank of gas, from the building’s parking garage and turned into a light traffic for that time of day and headed for home.
她处理完自己办公桌上的近日一般事务，把一些日常文书和一份待用投标计划放进公文包。下午1点钟离开了办公室。她的小车就停在大楼的车库，现在油箱里装满了汽油。她要走交通宽松的街道回家。她熟知这个时候交通宽松的路段。
