Sorry, but no. He actually thought it was appropriate to take his secretary on a PERSONAL, ONLY THEM lunch for her birthday?!? Especially when he KNEW that his wife was worried about the relationship between him and said secretary? Not only that, but he disregarded his wife's feelings and booked a single suite for the two of them to share? I don't CARE if it had two separate rooms. It was DISRESPECTFUL to his wife! The ONLY way that WOULD have been even REMOTELY acceptable is if he had invited his wife along FIRST, so she was already there. And yes, I can see how the secretary would have thought he had feelings for her, because, AGAIN, that birthday lunch was NOT a business necessity and they were NOT friends. This man is BEYOND obliviously and he is lucky his wife agreed to take him back at all! Hell, his treatment of her before then was so cold and callous, that I wouldn't have bothered going on the trip with him, I'd have taken the kids and booked a separate trip for us while I figured out if I even wanted to come back!
I wish his mom had known what was going on and seen how he prioritized the secretary and called her son out for being such an idiot. ML was a massive tool.
