Buying the Virgin

Chapter 139: The Girl Who Was Hunted - Chapter Fifty-Five

CHARLOTTE

“Keep going, Charlotte,” says Richard.

“Okay, um, Richard’s over-written some of the estimates on income and expenses, some upwards and some down. Err…. you’ve scrubbed out interest payments entirely, but added in some legal fees….”

“If I put cash into the project to replace bank funding, there won’t be any interest payments,” comments Richard.

Of course, yes….

I work my way through the rest. “You’re offering to cover all the building and development costs, plus some marketing, in exchange for a thirty per cent share?”

“I think thirty per cent is a bit steep, don’t you?” says Michael calmly.

Richard sniffs. “Well, that’s open to negotiation isn’t it.… but you’ve not stopped talking to me….”

The two lean across the table towards each other, Alternately taking the pen from the other, scribbling amendments on the paper bag, crossing-out previous notes and over-writing them. Richard is clearly enjoying himself. Michael, for all his restraint, is also, I think, enjoying himself.

I glance at my Master, who, lips pursed, is suppressing a smile. In a low voice, he says, “They’ve already decided they’re going to do it. It’s just the thrill of the chase now….”

Men….

The pen is tossed to the table-top. Richard and Michael stand, shaking hands. “Done!” says Michael. “Charlotte, meet your new shareholder.”

?

“My new shareholder?”

He rolls his eyes. “Didn’t you read any of those papers I showed you? About the purchase of the hotel and house?”

“Er… well, I scanned them quickly, but it all seemed a bit….”

He looks at me, face blank. “Boring? Is that the word you’re looking for?”

I hang my head. “Yes.”

Richard laughs. “You’d better start taking an interest in these things now, Charlotte. It’s a bit odd that I should know already that you’re a shareholder in ‘Life and Beauty’, but you don’t.”

Blushing. “Sorry. I didn’t realise.”

Michael grabs me under the chin. “We’re getting married. Of course you’re a shareholder.”

“On that subject.…” continues Richard, “Have you set a date?”

Michael goes very still.

Waiting?

“Er, we’d not really discussed it,” I say. “With everything that’s happened….” I glance at my fiancée.

He still doesn’t speak.

What’s he waiting for?

My Master breaks in. “I was rather hoping that I’d be asked to be Best Man.” He swings to Michael, who is suddenly wreathed in smiles. “You can take that as a heavy hint.”

“Who else would I ask?”

All eyes fix on me. “So, when were you thinking of, Charlotte?” My Master gaze is level.

That’s what Michael’s waiting for….
