“Thank you. It’s got rid of that smell of paint.’ ‘Put your cup in the bottom of the sink. It can go in the dishwasher later.’‘Have the painters finished?’‘Yes. Finished yesterday.’‘Is everything else done?‘Just about. My staff have finished bleach washing the bathrooms and in here. Can’t you smell it?’He thought he could, but it wasn’t obvious.
