The husband apologizes for asking his wife about his business and admits to being lying and manipulating people. The wife expresses concern but acknowledges the husband's lack of honesty and takes legal action against a client who refused to pay for catering services.
human
Hey, I saw you talking to Alex earlier. What was that all about?
gpt
Oh, Alex just asked me how my business was doing.
human
I don't think he was being honest with you. He's been known to lie and manipulate people.
gpt
That's a serious accusation. Are you sure about this? 
human
Yes, I am. He's not someone to be trusted.
gpt
I appreciate your concern, but I have to decide for myself who I associate with. 
human
I understand, but I just don't want you to be taken advantage of.
gpt
I know you don't. But I can take care of myself.
human
Speaking of people taking advantage of you, do you remember that client who refused to pay for your catering services?
gpt
Oh, don't remind me. That was such a headache.
human
Did you end up taking legal action against them?
gpt
Yes, I had to. It was the only way to get them to pay up. 
human
That's frustrating. I wish people were more honest and straightforward. 
gpt
Me too. But unfortunately, we can't control other people's actions. We can only control our own.
human
You're right. I just want to make sure you're not being manipulated or taken advantage of in any way. 
gpt
And I appreciate that. But I'm a strong, independent woman. I can handle myself. 
human
I know you are. I'm proud of you. 
gpt
Aw, thanks. I'm proud of you too, for being such a talented chef and making delicious food for people. 
human
Aw, shucks. Thanks, honey.
