A French Quarter woman who’s well and truly smashed the glass ceiling has found a natural partner in a low functioning tradie, who’s so blissfully unaware of current affairs he likely believes negative gearing is a sequel to Top Gear.
Rachael Smalls, 33, a high flying lawyer from the French Quarter, says it would have been all too easy to partner up with someone in the same industry, but that she simply couldn’t resist the alluring charm of a local tradie, who’d she’d initially contacted for a quote on extending her home.
But it turns out the only thing that ended up getting extended, was her heart.
Speaking to The Advocate, Rachael says she doesn’t mind that she’s the more refined one in the relationship.
In fact, she thinks Tom’s salt of the earth demeanour is the breath of fresh air she needed.
“”After spending twelve hours a day seeing some of the worst things humanity has to offer, it’s just nice to go home and watch some Netflix with Tom”, says Rachael.
“He never has no clue what’s going on in the world. No idea who Benjamin Netanyahu is or what’s going on with P Diddy.”
“He’s just happy to be here.”
More to come.
