fifty-shades-of-grey

To: Christian GreyDear SirLanguage evolves and moves on. It is an organic thing. It is not stuck in an ivory tower,hung with expensive works of art and overlooking most of Seattle with a helipad stuck onits roof.Impeccable – compared to the other times we have… what’s your word… oh yes…fucked. Actually the fucking has been pretty impeccable, period, in my humble opinion –but then as you know I have very limited experience.Is Mrs. Jones an ex-sub of yours?AnaMy finger hovers once more over the send button, and I press it.From: Christian GreySubject: Language. Watch Your Mouth!Date: May 30 2011 19:22To: Anastasia SteeleAnastasiaMrs. Jones is a valued employee. I have never had any relationship with her beyondour professional one. I do not employ anyone I’ve had any sexual relations with. I amshocked that you would think so. The only person I would make an exception to thisrule is you – because you are a bright young woman with remarkable negotiating skills.Though, if you continue to use such language, I may have to reconsider taking you onhere. I am glad you have limited experience. Your experience will continue to be limited– just to me. I shall take impeccable as a compliment – though with you, I’m never sure ifthat’s what you mean, or if your sense of irony is getting the better of you – as usual.Christian GreyCEO, Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc.
