Chapter 91: CHAPTER 90
Andrew was not prepared to negotiate about the fashion show, so he was at a disadvantage throughout the negotiation. Candice being a woman of experience took advantage of this fact.
Regardless, Andrew was focused on earning certain benefits, and by his own account, he believes that he earned enough benefits. He didn't expect to make money from this, so he concentrated on other things.
He managed to obtain three benefits that he considered to be what he needed. The first was that the training would take place in the Heavenly Palace.
That way he didn't have to let staff out of the establishment because they would waste more time, not to mention that Helena was practically the models' trainer, so when she left the courtesans would not receive their classes, which was not acceptable to Andrew.
The second goal he achieved was to establish his stamp on the garments that Candice was going to sell. Candice intended to create a brand for the designs that Andrew had sold her, so Andrew wanted his name to be associated with the brand.
It wasn't like his real name was on the dress or underwear, but rather he could place a small mark on the label that would show that he was the designer of the garment, even if no one knew who he was.
He had this idea from the beginning, but he had not had the opportunity to propose it in the previous negotiation, so he took the opportunity to mention it. Andrew thought his signature or seal of approval for clothing designs would be a rose and he had even thought of different colors for different designs.
The third and last objective that he achieved was to be able to audit the quality of the dresses and lingerie that Candice was going to sell. Certainly, now that he'd sold the designs they didn't belong to him and he had no say in what Candice did with them, but since he was going to put his signature of approval, he didn't want shoddy products being presented.
In fact, Candice was more than happy to accept the last two proposals, since the quality of her products was very important to her, although she was very reluctant to accept that the training takes place in the Heavenly Palace.
That was understandable since she didn't want her staff to come to the red light district, even so, Andrew was decisive and did not allow it. Although Candice could organize the parade according to what she had seen, she also thought that Andrew had many innovative ideas that would be beneficial for her team, so in the end, she agreed.
Although the negotiation of the fashion show did not involve money, it was more intense than the sale of the designs, but luckily they reached an agreement, and thus a partnership was formed.
Candice left the Heavenly Palace with a signed contract stipulating all the disputed clauses and as a show of sincerity, Andrew gave her samples of the designs and the list of promised items even though Candice had not paid him yet.
He wasn't worried about Candice stealing the designs, it would be a very stupid move, in the end, she needed more designs and the long-term business relationship would be more lucrative than 500 small gold coins.
After Candice had left, Carolina began to ask Andrew many questions about the negotiation. She always did that. As she wanted to learn, whenever a negotiation finished, she would ask Andrew's reasons and thoughts for the decisions he had made.
The question and answer session about the negotiation lasted for an hour when Carolina felt convinced, so she left the office to take care of her activities.
Andrew stayed in the office for a few minutes taking a breather from the busy morning and once relaxed, he left the office in search of Helena and the courtesans.
He found them in the party room resting. Today they had suspended all activities since the fashion show event was held. Andrew entered the hall, and all the courtesans and Helena rose to their feet to greet him.
Andrew smiled at the girls' nervousness and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, everything was a success, I'm here to congratulate you." Hearing Andrew's congratulations, all the girls let out a cheer.
Seeing them so happy to fulfill their obligations, Andrew smiled and went on to say, "Though everything went very well, we're just getting started." That sentence, made all the girls calm down and pay attention to him, and noticing that, Andrew continued.
"Mrs. Candice was very interested in the fashion show, so she will send people to train on how to do one, so Helena will be the trainer and can ask any of the girls for help as an example."
Helena was surprised because just like Andrew, she didn't think Candice would be interested in the event, but after thinking about it for a bit, she understood that it was the best way to promote these products, so she enthusiastically replied, "I'll do my best young master ".
Andrew just nodded and spoke again, "Since everyone did a good job next week we'll close the doors so you can have a day off and go for a walk."
Hearing about the reward, the girls again cheered with joy. From the opening to date, no one in the Heavenly Palace had ever had a day off. Certainly, during the morning or afternoon hours they had downtime that the employees took as free time, but sometimes was not enough to do what they needed to do.
For that reason, Andrew had thought of establishing a day off from time to time, so that all the employees could enjoy doing their thing and he decided to start next week.
After breaking the news, Andrew returned to the office to review the accounts. With the new income he would receive from the sale of the designs, he wanted to make more significant improvements to the Heavenly Palace.
His idea of giving courtesans and employees days off was necessary, but he also knew that he couldn't close the establishment so often for the employees to have a rest, so his solution was to hire more people and establish a rotation system.
He was clear about how to apply this methodology, but he was also clear about why he couldn't use it yet. He lacked staff and space. He needed more employees to meet the obligations of those who would be resting and that implied higher costs.
However, he also planned to increase the number of courtesans and earn more money to compensate, however, that brought him to the next problem and that was space.
Currently, all the rooms of the Heavenly Palace were occupied, therefore, he could not expand the number of courtesans or employees residing in the establishment.
The solution for this was clear, he just had to expand the building. In fact, he had plenty of space and could even do it without having to close the business, but the investment would not be small.
Even so, he was clear that it was something that had to be done, and being decisive, he preferred to do it immediately. He had accumulated a certain amount of money from his business with Johan and from the earnings of the Heavenly Palace and if he add up what Candice would pay, he believed that he would have enough money to do it.
He carried out the calculations and verified that he could do it, but even so, he called Carolina to discuss the matter and avoid making mistakes. It was always better to have a second person's opinion.
Carolina listened carefully to Andrew's plans and raised her concerns. The meeting lasted until the afternoon hours when it was almost time to open the doors for business.
The discussion was very detailed and they both finally agreed to follow Andrew's plan. Since Carolina knew the city better, she would take it upon herself to find a construction company to carry out this task.
Although he didn't want her to come out of the building, he also knew that he couldn't lock her away forever, so he would just send Oliver to take care of her as her bodyguard and hoped nothing would happen.
With everything arranged, everyone returned to perform their duties, and night fell. Customers began to arrive and excitement flared as the courtesans were wearing the new costumes.
The clients were delighted, as the girls were more beautiful and sensual than ever, and the lucky ones who received their services were even more delighted, since the lingerie that the courtesans wore only turned on their libido.
The lingerie was so popular that several of the customers asked the courtesans not to take them off and have sex with them on. The courtesans hesitated momentarily, not wanting to dirty or damage them, but Helena was decisive in telling them not to worry and to comply with the client's requests.
Helena was sure Andrew wouldn't mind that and she preferred customers to leave satisfied and she wasn't wrong. Unfortunately, several items of lingerie ended up dirty with cunt juice and cum, but none had enough damage that a wash couldn't fix.
The customers left happy. The evening was so successful that the courtesans received large tips from them. In this way, the day ended and everyone returned to rest.
Like the courtesans, Carolina and Helena also received their own dresses and lingerie. Helena had no one to show off these clothes to, but Carolina had Andrew, and feeling naughty, she paraded for her husband in private.
Carolina's statuesque and beautiful figure amazed Andrew and when Carolina posed in provocative lingerie, Andrew couldn't help himself and imitating his clients that day, he fucked Carolina with it on.
Carolina was reluctant, as she didn't want to damage her new clothes, but Andrew didn't back down and forced her to please him until she gave in and just enjoyed Andrew drilling her pussy all night long until they fell asleep.
