Ms. Espinosa, based on the tasks you were given for Ms. Midelfart and your observations of her with Epstein, what, if any, sense did you have of their relationship with each other, put it that way? A. I felt like Jeffrey liked her very much; I felt like they were a couple. They were -- yeah, they were together, a couple. Q. And did this happen either during or after the time when it appeared to you that Ghislaine was in a romantic relationship with Epstein? A. I feel like it was at the very beginning of my employment, so I -- you know, being new, it could have been concurrent for a little bit of time. Q. Do you know whether or not Ghislaine knew about, for example, you buying the flowers for Celina Midelfart? A. No, she didn't know. MS. POMERANTZ: Objection. THE COURT: Just a moment. I'll allow it.
