"What is it?" Elliot asked while removing his clothes.
"Melvin wants to hire Eric as our spokesperson because he thinks that Eric is popular and that this will increase our sales," Avery said.
"And what do you think?"
"What do I think? Don't you know me?" She sighed. "If I go to Eric, he won't turn me down. I just feel awkward because Eric would never accept payment, at least not in accordance with his normal rates... That's just as bad as asking him to do it for free."
"If this troubles you that much, just reject your vice president's proposal." Elliot was supportive. "There are plenty of popular idols that you can choose from."
"But Melvin is dead set on Eric because Eric is more popular than most."
"That's just what you think. You might think that he's the most popular guy in the whole universe, but are you sure that's what everyone else thinks?" He retorted. "There are countless idols out there and all their fans all think that their idols are the most popular."
"That makes sense," she said sheepishly. "What would you do if you were me?"
"Do whatever you want." Elliot was not Avery, so he could not make a decision in her place.
"Can't you just imagine that you are me?" She glared at him.
"I can, but I would think about something else if I was you."
"And what's that?"
"If I was you, I would think about who I want as a husband," Elliot said.
