    Wilmslow did not lie.

    If business involves relationships then agents have alot to learn.

    Why remorse? Business is business. On the other hand, if she wants a hot date with Wilmslow, then she should jump all over him. Whats personal is personal.

    While she appreciates I called her, she feels betrayed I told her nothing else on the go and worried about egg on her face with two firms.
    She will learn bless her – she even invited me over for a coffee…… She is half my age.

    She only wants you for your references.

    For the price of a latte. That makes you a cheap date.
