Luna sets me straight. “It’s so my husband can concentrate on his job. It’s supposed to preserve the stability of our marital relations.” In other words, Lenovo pays Luna to stay home and keep her husband happy. I am stunned. I can’t decide whether this is horribly retro—paying women to stay home—or wonderfully cutting-edge—putting a cash value on running a household. After Scarlet, Luna is the second person I know who just wants to be a housewife.
