He says he has a telegram marked "urgent".
I didn't even know people still sent telegrams!
Who's it from?
William Frederick.
Who's that?
No one.
Emma!
The pleasure of your company yesterday was worth any jab you took at my character.
The day of your graduation...
...you will receive information...
...about an opportunity that will change your life.
Do not contact me before that time or I take the offer off the table.
William B. Frederick.
Well what's it say?
Nothing.
So someone sent you a telegram...that says nothing?
Whatever.
Uhh.
Graduation was nearly four months away! Four months!
Four months of waiting in anticipation without even a hint of what William Frederick was offering.
And my curiosity had become an obsession.
My mind an endless barrage of unanswered questions.
Why did I have to wait? What was this amazing opportunity?
Was this even a legitimate offer or merely a mind game in an attempt to control me?
Me...who always had to be in control.
Who always had to have the answers.
Who always had to have things neatly tied off and logically explained.
And so I did the only thing I could do to make the time pass more quickly.
I worked on my thesis tirelessly.
And I got off on the fact that as much as I hated to admit it...
This man had complete control over me.
And I absolutely loved it.
[phone rings] Hello.
It's driving you crazy isn't it?
Who is this?
Do you really have to ask that?
How'd you get my cell phone number?
And more importantly how'd you get my address?
Those sorts of things are not particularly challenging to someone with money and resources.
Of course they're not.
So...
...is it driving you crazy?
You're the expert at reading people.
Why don't you tell me.
It excites the living hell out of you.
Not particularly.
You're a bad liar.
You've thought of nothing else.
I like knowing you're frustrated.
Ohh!
Do you realize how pathological that sounds?
I'll see you soon.
If you know how to follow instructions.
Hello.
Four months passed like four decades.
But the day was finally upon me.
Dear Emma...
Meet me at 6 pm at 2134 Olympia Drive tonight.
Shower first.
Put on a cocktail dress with thigh-high stockings and heels...
The door will be unlocked. Let yourself in.
Go immediately to the dining room and wait for me.
Bring the signed paperwork with you.
Looking back it seems almost unbelievable how relaxed I was.
I had no clue why he invited me here or what to expect.
The paperwork ended up being a non-disclosure agreement.
Asking that I keep my conversations with him confidential...
...in order to protect his privacy from the media.
It seemed reasonable enough.
