Sebastian and I had been friends before I started the gym, and he was the only person there I could talk to about the Vivian situation and trust that he wouldn’t blab about it to any of his coworkers orclients.
“Am I making a mistake? Asking as a friend. I mean, I built my business from the ground up and it’s still pretty new. I can’t start fooling around withclients.”
“A, you’re not fooling around with her, and B, this is a gym—not the White House. Get over yourself. We work around sweaty hot bodies all day, nobody really expects us tonotfuck them if they want usto.”
“Ido.”
“And that is why we don’t fuck them. As far as you know.” He saluted me and left myoffice.
ItextedVivian that Sebastian would be taking over her private sessions and that I was confident she would enjoy working out with him much more than she had with me. I gave her his number and told her to figure out a schedule withhim.
She wrote back:Does that mean what I think itmeans?
Me:It means that you are no longer my personalclient.
Vivian::-)
She didn’t writeanything else after that, and neither did I. I would have to think very carefully about my next move, and I wanted it to be completely under mycontrol.
