My husband was a client of the consulting firm I work for. I spoke on the phone with him several times a week for 5 YEARS before I ever met him. I was always very intimidated by him and would always say "One minute, Mr. L., I will have my boss speak with you". Then, after 5 years of this (he never even knew I existed because I would not speak with him), his company had a big oil spill. He hired our company (we are environmental consultants) to manage the cleanup. When I finally saw him in person, he was much younger and more handsome than I had imagined!
Well, suffice it to say that one year and $1 million later (that's about how much the oil cleanup cost), we were married.
Oh--and I have been cleaning up his messes ever since! (We have been married for 6 years now). |
