Hello.

Hi Helen.

Oh, what's up Alice?

Oh, it's so quiet at work, I thought I'd give you a ring.

A little bird told me that the landlord is your dad.

How did you find out?

Oh, never mind about that.

Why have you been keeping it a secret for so long?

Well, because as soon as people know how rich my parents are,

they start treating me differently.

When you and Tim came to live here, I wanted to start afresh,

so I decided not to tell anyone.

Oh Helen, you're such a silly goose.

I promise it won't make any difference to us.

So no more secrets, okay?

Okay, then.
