Does anyone really believe even that?

That's a polite lie, too, and the truth is still more obvious. Were she to say it outright, it would go a little something like this:

"Hugh is an 83-years old pervert with money. He wasn't a whole lot younger when I met him. There is really no mentally sound reason on Earth why I would want him so much as to be willing to become one of three girlfriends, except that life in the fast lane for a while and some cash in the bank for my future seemed a great return on the investment of a bit of my self-respect to fuel an old tycoon's ego. That accomplished, I'm done."
