Tracy
Tracy is a modern woman. She lives in a big city. She is twenty-seven. Her parents are divorced and live in different places. As to Tracy, she is married happily and has a husband and a small son. Her husband’s name is Paul, her son’s name is Kevin. Paul is twenty-nine and Kevin is only four.
Paul is a manager, he works at an office. His office is far from his house, but it’s OK. His working day finishes at 5 o’clock, but of course he doesn’t leave his office so early. As Paul says himself, he works twenty-five hours a day. And it’s quite natural: if he wants to make a lot of money and keep his family, he must work hard all day long. Business is business.
Paul
Paul is Tracy’s husband. He loves his wife very much. Yet sometimes he has to choose between his family and his work. His boss Mr Gibbon is very demanding. If he wants you to go to Africa in July, you’ll have to. If he wants you to rewrite a 200-page report on Market Research overnight, you won’t sleep a wink to finish it on time. But if you intend to fly to Paris in your secretary’s company Mr Gibbon will do it instead of you.
In spite of all said Paul is not a disappointed man. He earns enough to keep his family. His wife Tracy is his best adviser and his son is a very intelligent boy. Mr Gibbon predicts him a brilliant career and Emily (his new secretary) promises to be always on his side. She also says Brighton is not so far from London as Paris. Well she must have been very good at Geography at school.
