The following morning, Martin came out of the gym just as Bruce was about to leave.
"Jody has asked to meet with me," Bruce said. "She was very helpful with the last report, and I couldn't really say no."
Martin hadn't planned on going out today and waved his hand dismissively, "Go ahead."
However, Elizabeth called out to Bruce, "Wait a moment."
She went into the adjacent room and came back with two tote bags, "This is some cosmetics, and this is a handbag. Take them with you."
Bruce didn't accept them, "I'll just buy some."
He wasn't short of money, as manager, bodyguard, driver, and fixer of messes, he earned ten percent of Martin's income from acting.
"I know you're not short of money," Elizabeth pointed to her forehead, "But Old Cloth, when have you ever thought of buying gifts for a girl?"
Bruce really wanted to say that for a shameless woman like Jody, he didn't need to buy anything.
