I wasn't entirely sure what the Senator meant by that. Was I frugal? Was I an entrepreneur? Did I have a gambling problem, or out of control spending habits? Did I know how to creatively bury finances; cook the books as it were? Seemed a strange thing fir a Senator to be asking his intern too; didn't the Senate have highly trained professionals to that sort of thing for them, to keep everything above board and transparent.

"My father taught me how to handle the company finances," I offered, erring for the most pragmatic and innocent assumption; let the Senator escallate it if he was asking for more. "If that's what you mean?"
