Milk and Honey. Faye KellermanЧитать онлайн книгу.
Esther’s husband. The one who owns the fur factory.”
“The one you do the books for,” Decker said.
“Yes.”
“He came on to you,” Decker said.
Rina sat up in the saddle. “How’d you know?”
“And you’re shocked. Especially because he’s frum.”
She slumped back against him. “Obviously, you’re not surprised.”
“What’d he do to you?”
“Oh God …”
“What’d he do?”
“He backed me up into a corner a couple of weeks ago.”
“And …”
“He was inappropriate,” Rina groaned.
“How? Details.”
“Stop acting like a detective.”
Decker laughed. “Did he kiss you?”
“Yes.”
“What’d you do?”
“I was so shocked, I didn’t do anything.”
“Nice move, Lazarus. Did he feel you up?”
“Peter, could you cool the blow-by-blow?”
Decker grew serious. “Did he get rough with you?”
“No,” Rina said. “No, he didn’t. As soon as I recovered from my shock, I got out of there, and he didn’t try to stop me. Oh, Peter, how could he have done that? Betrayed his wife as well as me. What gets into people like him?”
“He’s horny with low impulse control.”
“He wears a gartel for God’s sake!”
“What’s a gartel?”
“It’s a sash that Hasidim wear to separate the clean from the unclean parts of their body. This is the man who always leads Kol Nidre on Yom Kippur, can you believe such hypocrisy?”
“Obviously, he has a lot to repent for,” Decker said. “Is he still harassing you sexually?”
Rina sighed. “Well, he hasn’t backed me into any more corners, but he’s done other things.”
“Like what?”
“Peter, he frequents massage parlors.”
“How do you know that?”
“He gives me the receipts for the books and tells me to take them off as business expenses.”
Decker burst into laughter.
Rina said, “What’s so funny?”
“Forgive me, but only a Jew would be so brazen,” Decker said.
“That is such an anti-Semitic thing to say!” Rina exclaimed. “Whose side are you on?”
Decker said, “No goy on earth would have the hutzpah to try something like that.”
“Chutzpah,” Rina said, correcting his pronunciation. “Ch, ch. The sound is guttural. At least say the word right. And I don’t believe that goyim are any less chutzpahdic than Jews.”
“Maybe we Gentiles just don’t think as creatively.”
“We?” Rina said. “You’re Jewish, remember?”
Decker hugged her. “Yes, I remember.”
