Movie Surprise

Chapter 2
So I get home and fortunately, my wife is busy and I get the hoody in the laundry room. I give it a quick rinse and I’m now home free.
My wife comes out of her office and asks me to remember to shave off that 7-day beard that I have been sporting on my week off. Tomorrow night there is a company party at her company’s President’s home and I need to be presentable. My name is John, and my wife is Susan. We have been married for 10 years. We are in our late 30s and she is the VP of Finance at her company.
I shave and get presentable. I have been doing some minor renovations and painting in the house all week, so went into full slob mode over the course of the week.
We get to the party. I know most of the people, so mingle and catch up with both my wife’s colleagues and their spouses.
I am outside discussing some of the things I have been doing at home with one of my wife’s co-workers when she grabs my hand and drags me across the backyard to introduce me to her new assistant. I recognize Sarah from the movie theater immediately. She looks very beautiful and is wearing a clingy sundress. She introduces me to her husband Dan and we chit-chat about various things. How they got married once college finished and how excited she was to get this job right after they got back from their honeymoon.
She had had a few drinks by this time and as my wife was chatting up Dan, I offered to escort her into the house when she asked where the nearest washroom could be found.
I of course took her to the farthest washroom in the house. On the way over, I started talking about the events from the previous day.
“So, you were really into the movie last night.”
Sarah looked at me with a puzzle on her face. She still didn’t realize that I was the person sitting next to her. “What do you mean?”
“Well, you seemed so into the movie that you didn’t even respond when your husband tried to get your attention.”
She started to get a bit nervous. Probably thinking that if I was that close to seeing her husband and her, I might have seen something else. “Why, where were you sitting?”
We arrived at the door to the bathroom. “I was sitting right beside you. I know you will do a good job for my wife because you did a good job with me.”
