Chapter 96: CHAPTER 95
The next morning Carolina woke up revitalized, but Andrew was in pain because Carolina slept on him all night. It really wasn't a good night's sleep for Andrew, but seeing Carolina so comfortable on his chest he didn't have the courage to put her down.
When Carolina woke up, she noticed that she still had Andrew's cock inside her, and like any energetic man in the morning, his cock was as hard as steel.
In a few seconds, Andrew felt Carolina's movement and when he opened his eyes he found Carolina moving her hips using Andrew's cock to drill her pussy.
As they had fallen asleep after cumming, both of their crotches were sticky from vaginal juices and dried cum that hadn't been cleaned up, not to mention the strong smell of sweat that permeated them from the previous night's exercise.
Although it may sound gross, after a few seconds, they both got aroused and didn't pay attention to it, they just enjoyed morning sex. After about half an hour of activity, they reached the limit and cum.
They rested for a few minutes while they caught their breath and got up. They took a bath together and went out to have breakfast, but they were the only ones at the table since everyone had already eaten.
Shortly after breakfast, Johan's men arrived to collect the daily supply of rejuvenating creams, vitality drinks, and birth control pills, and shortly after they had left, the manager of the construction company arrived with two people.
The manager introduced himself and his assistants. Andrew took care of the matter personally. After greeting the builders he quickly communicated his ideas for the remodel.
Andrew walked with them showing them the property and his vision of what was to be done. The manager and his assistants listened carefully and occasionally made questions and suggestions based on their concerns and experience.
All three men seemed very professional and knew their jobs, repeatedly giving suggestions on the best course of action and taking detailed notes on everything that was discussed.
"Well, Mr. Andrew, we have an idea of what you want to do, now we should talk about the budget", said the manager at the end of the tour. Andrew didn't want to discuss the topic where they were, so he invited them into the office.
Once in the office, Carmen entered and served everyone tea. After taking a small sip of the cup, Andrew started the conversation, "Mr. Oto, I would like to hear your opinion as to the value of the work since you are the expert".
Oto is the manager of the construction company and the main architect. He had done many similar works, so he did not hesitate when he spoke, "Mr. Andrew, since it is not an artistic or complicated design, it will be quick to build and not very expensive, but I have some recommendations."
Andrew narrowed his eyes upon hearing what Oto said. He was no business novice and he knew that those words only appeared when they wanted to propose additional jobs to earn more, but even so, he allowed it, he thought that if it was a good proposal he could accept it.
Seeing that Andrew urged him to continue, he said, "If we focus only on the spoken arrangements, two weeks of work and 500 small gold coins could finish the job."
Oto paused, took some tea to wet his throat, and went on to say, "Despite this, I propose a complete remodeling." Andrew did not understand what he meant, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I think that Mr. Andrew has noticed that the building is a bit old, so what I propose is to reinforce the foundations and even make an additional floor, so it would triple the space," said Oto.
Andrew remained silent, contemplating the proposal. In fact, he was planning to do that, but later when he got more money, but if he could do it right away it was better, so he asked, "How long would it last?"
"It would only be an additional two weeks," Oto replied quickly, seeing that Andrew took an interest in the proposal. "How much would it cost?" Andrew kept asking, and Oto replied, "1,200 small gold coins would be enough."
"How would the job be done? I can't close my business for a full month for construction right now," Andrew continued to ask, wanting to know all the details before considering doing so.
"It would have to close for a week. We will build first on the rest of the establishment and at the end on the areas of operation of your business", replied Oto after a little contemplation.
Andrew remained silent, considering the matter. Thanks to his recent business, he had about 2,000 small gold coins in his treasury, so money was not a problem, what he had to consider was closing the business.
The silence stretched for several minutes, but no one interrupted Andrew's thought process. After weighing the pros and cons he accepted the deal, as he had thought of a solution.
"Let's do what you proposed, but instead of building in the business areas at the end, let's do it at the beginning, will there be a problem?" Andrew asked and Oto replied with a smile, "No problem".
"So, what would the payment method be like?" Andrew continued the conversation, and Oto quickly responded, "Half at the start and the rest at the end." Andrew nodded and rose to shake Oto's hand as a symbol of closing the deal.
After concluding the talk, Oto and his assistants left. They would bring the contract within a week when they would start working. Andrew decided to do it this way for three reasons.
The first was that it didn't seem expensive to him and if he was going to make improvements it was better to do them immediately because with them the Heavenly Palace would rise several levels, generating more money for him.
The second reason was that he could use that closing week to give his employees vacation, although it was a forced closure, nothing prevented him from taking the opportunity for a break.
The last reason was similar. In the negotiation with Candice, he had agreed to do the training for the fashion show in the Heavenly Palace, but now he could do it in Candice's place without delaying his activities, that way he would help Candice and improve Candice's relationship with him.
With all of that settled, Andrew briefed the entire Heavenly Palace staff on the arrangements and asked Victor to start informing customers that they would be closing for a while for repairs.
With everything arranged, Andrew asked Oliver to come with him. He didn't want to delay things and stopped by Candice's store to discuss fashion show training.
Walking into Candice's store, they were greeted by the same manager who had served Carolina the last time. He had been informed by Candice herself to keep an eye on the Heavenly Palace staff arriving at the store, so he approached and greeted them politely.
"Welcome to the Cherry Blossom. May I ask what the visit is for? Andrew smiled at the diplomatic welcome and said, "I'm here to see Mrs. Candice, business."
This manager was very sharp and quickly asked them to follow him after telling someone else to inform Candice of Andrew's arrival. By the time Andrew got to Candice's office, she was already informed and was waiting for them with a smile on her face.
"To what do I owe this pleasant visit, Mr. Andrew?" Candice asked upon seeing him and Andrew responded immediately, "Well, Mrs. Candice, no diplomacy is necessary, it's business of course".
The answer surprised Candice. Not the fact that Andrew dismissed her friendly welcome, but the business part, and she quickly asked, "New designs? So fast? We haven't made the previous ones yet."
Andrew gave a soft laugh and replied, "I'm not that good. They are not new designs, but the business does have to do with the fashion show." Candice wiped the smile from her face and with a serious expression invited him to sit down.
The fashion show was a business that Candice had high expectations for, so she didn't dare joke about it. She at first thought that Andrew was coming to renegotiate the terms, but she was surprised by what he said.
"Mrs. Candice, we had agreed to hold the training in the Heavenly Palace, but it turns out that I will be doing some renovations, so within a week I am available to help you in the space you have."
Andrew's news surprised and made Candice happy, as she was always against doing it in the Heavenly Palace, so she promptly expressed, "This is good news, so why don't we do it here in a week? I'll have all the staff ready."
"I have no problem with that arrangement," Andrew said. "Do you need anything specific?" Candice continued to ask, and after a brief thought Andrew said, "Well, I don't need anything, but I'll give you some recommendations."
Candice waved her hand, inviting him to continue and Andrew didn't hold back, "First of all, although I think it's obvious, it doesn't hurt to say it. You need a person in command with a good head on his shoulders, I don't intend to train every parade."
"That's natural, don't worry," Candice replied, nodding. "Second is having a spacious room for this training," Candice continued to nod at Andrew's comment.
"Lastly, models have to have certain features," Andrew said, and Candice noticing Andrew's expression change at this point, asked, "What kind of features?"
"Well, mainly of good height, preferably tall around 1.70 meters would be ideal. Since you are targeting this show for the upper class and nobles the appearance is obvious, but don't let them be too proportionate, a slim build would be ideal."
Candice nodded her head again and said, "No problem, I'll look for women with those characteristics, in a week you can see them and tell me your opinions." This time it was Andrew's turn to nod and finish the talk, however, as he was about to get up to leave, Candice spoke again, "Since Mr. Andrew is helping me with this, I should give him a little bit of information".
Candice's comment caught Andrew's attention and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind?" Candice with a smile replied, "The kind where there are some people pointing at you."
