Excuse me for my presumption, but we've briefly met - my name is Jefferson. You're acquainted with my girlfriend, Alice Ayres. I just felt I ought to advise you that even being extremely busy still leaves time for family. I'm the lead designer at a clothing shop that's just landed a contract with Victoria's Secret, and I have an eleven year old daughter.
I would simply advise, if it isn't rude, that you be absolutely up front with the young lady. Explain that you do have an incredibly demanding job, and she has to understand its ramifications if she's going to come here. Honesty is the very least we can offer.
