Quickly, she becomes something Ava looks forward to. And then Julian writes to tell Ava he is coming back to Hong Kong....

Einen Banker. Einen Banker, der gerne Geld für sie ausgibt. Und plötzlich findet sie sich im Gästezimmer seiner Wohnung wieder und trinkt Clos Vougeot, spricht über schwankende Kurse und hat Sex. Ihre Einkommensunterschiede sind groß, und sie bewahren die selbsternannte Linke und Feministin Ava vor unangenehmen Fragen.
