"Never mind. You can keep it. We can also order a delivery of anything else you need. I am an incredibly rich entrepreneur, you know!"
He paused, then added with a bit of embarrassment:
"Well, I used to be rich, anyway. These days, I pretty much spend everything on… research."
She tilted her head a little, then suddenly said:
"...The girl you're tutoring visited."
