Nicole got up from the stretcher and went to sit beside Alex.
"I wanna know, am I not interesting?"
Alex shook his head and said, "that's not the case. You seem like a fun person to be around with."
"No, Alex." Nicole shook her head. "I am not… am I not interesting enough to attract you in a physical or emotional manner?"
Alex sighed and looking at Nicole, said, "It's not that you aren't attractive. It's just that I am a married man and nobody else but my wives interest me."
"Hmm? Wives?" Nicole caught onto the word.
'Ah, crap…' Alex thought to himself. 'I can clear this up by saying I meant wife's and not wives, but I am sure it'll land me in trouble in future.'
'This lady is the Director, she'll definitely find out I have multiple wives.'
Feeling it was best to not lie in this situation, Alex answered, "Yes, wives. I have more than one."
"What!?" Nicole got up in shock and said. "Aren't you like twenty-one!?"
