"Um...I think you might have misunderstood the situation, Bob. This is more about designing and creating intimate apparel than anything else." She gives him a teasing smile. "But if you're willing to help out, I can definitely use your expertise. We could start later today or tomorrow, whatever works best for you."

"I don't think that will be necessary, Bob...but thank you for offering. In any case, let me know when you're available to help and we can make arrangements." She smiles warmly at him before turning away to deal with some other matter.
