Your wife is yours to lend me for a month." The night my wife is held by my boss in a situation I could never refuse. My subordinate has a beautiful wife. When I saw his wife at the wedding, I was intensely jealous. I wondered if there was any way I could legally hold his wife.... While I was pondering this, he made a mistake in the numbers on the order form. If his bosses found out about it, he would be fired for sure. So I offered him a helping hand. I'll take care of this mistake and lend him your wife for a month. If he loses his job, even his beautiful wife will run away, and he has no right of refusal.
