      Era un ruso rubio de barba acariciable y belleza indecente, y la única razón que se le ocurría a Pip para explicarse que aún no la hubiera despedido era que disfrutaba pensando en follársela, pero estaba segura de que, si llegaba ese momento, iba a suponer una humillación inmediata para ella, porque Igor no sólo era guapo, sino que también tenía un sueldo sustancioso, mientras que ella era tan sólo una niña cargada de problemas.
      He was a blond Russian with a strokable beard and indecent beauty, and the only reason Pip could think of for why he hadn't fired her yet was that he enjoyed thinking about fucking her, but she was sure that if it came to that, it would mean immediate humiliation for her, because Igor was not only handsome, but also had a substantial salary, while she was just a girl burdened with problems.
