Did the old lady in the beginning


The old lady that was his client at the hotel with Julian, was she aware he was the escort she made the appointment with? I figure she might have been role playing the way she was acting when she said she'd give him a tip for being a chauffeur.

I assume she had some inclination of what he did when she hired him...

I believe she was the one he was referring to when he told Michelle about the woman it took him 3 hours to get off.

Here's to those who wish me well...

Yeah I think he was referring to her too.

No...Mrs. Ryman, the Pretty blonde woman who's husband was calling the shots was murdered.

No Julian was with the rymans on the Sunday night but she was murdered on the Tuesday night

I read the novel version and no, she didn't know. The company handling her husband's funeral arrangements hired Julian, telling her he was just a chauffeur. But he was instructed to show her a good time.

I think I would have passed lol

Julian, like all prostitutes, doesn't have sex for pleasure. It's a job, like changing tires, flying a plane or delivering Coca Cola products. That's all it is to them. 💰💏💰
