In her room, Irina was getting ready to sleep when suddenly the door opened and Gertrude came in quickly and sat on the side of the bed. Irina shuffled up, "You just came home this late?" Irina asked while looking at Gertrude.
The man glanced over, "I met Benjamin and had a drink." Gertrude lied to his wife.
He had gone to a bar and had a drink there with a girlfriend he had met several times and ended up spending the night paying for sex. After finding the release, Gertrude always goes home, because that's what Angelique emphasized. "No matter how depraved you are out there, at home you have to look like a gentleman." And that's what Gertrude did.
Hearing Gertrude mention Benjamin's name, Irina seemed to have the opportunity to express her anxiety about the fate of the man she still loves, Benjamin Duncan. "How is the condition?" Irina asked quietly.
