Отрывок из книги

26SHE’S THE BOSSIt’s quite difficult to be a female boss especially when you are an im-mediate superior for your husband. Jane is a quantity surveyor on a build-ing site, her husband is a foreman at the same site. Her duties are to make sure that nobody is taking anything valuable off the site. The men have to report to her and explain what they’ve done so she can make sure it’s correct.When she first asked her future husband Mike out, he was sitting in a manhole on the building site. He was a scruffy, cheeky little chap. She had seen him before and knew his previous relationship was on the rocks, so she stopped her car and wound down the window.There was a lot of backchat from him and his mates when they first saw her. She was wearing a pair of jeans, steel-capped, high hill boots, and an anorak. She looked pretty with her long, straight blond hair, so she did get noticed on the building site. That day Jane handed him her phone num-ber on a piece of paper and said that she with her friends would go out and if he fancies coming along he could give her a ring. Though it was com-pletely out of character for her to be so forward, but Jane had just broken up with her long-term boyfriend, so she decided to take the bull by the horns. Mike phoned her the following day and they started dating.Jane’s mother was shocked by the fact that her daughter was meeting with a foreman. Jane had dated smart office types in the past, and so her mother was very dubious about her seeing a builder. At first they both were worried that people at work would find out, so they tried to keep it secret. The company might not have approved — after all, they were on different sides of the fence. When they were dating, they scrupulously avoided talking about work because they both had secrets they could not share.Now Jane and Mike have been married for two years. At the wedding, many of the guests were Mike’s friends from the building site who spent their days getting their hands dirty like him...
