Over breakfast consisting of banana-pecan pancakes, eggs, juice and coffee, Amy explains the full extent of what she’s done in order to give her cousins more leeway over their recent business deals. Angelina, for example, is now the sole landlord of the triplex and two adjoining properties on the same block. And while Angelina had been hesitant about the prospect, Amy explained that it would be more fail-proof and generate more income in the long-run. Plus, as Trish pointed out, the interior decorator would now have three times as many apartments to decorate and furnish. For Jamie and Trish, Amy presented them with business plans, projected budgets, spending accounts and corporate credit cards. They would, of course, retain all property rights and could renovate the unused building as necessary or rent it out as is. Further investigation revealed that Eric had also sold his nieces another piece of run-down property; Amy offering to take Jamie and Trish there later.
“So, basically your dad just dumped all of his unwanted property on us?”
“More or less,” Amy confirmed to Jamie, the redhead removing a pair of glasses, worn for decorative purposes only. “It’s all stuff that’s been in the holdings for years but he could never find an interested buyer or even an investor for.”
Trish tapped her nails on the table, noting idly that she was in need of a manicure, “and were these properties ever profitable?”
Amy nodded, hitting the print key on her laptop, “I’m getting all of the information I can find for you but in brief, at one point every property was highly profitable. Then the economy took a hit. A lot of dad’s commercial investments suffered. It’s one of the reasons he’s overseas right now… investing in foreign property, buying vineyards and whatever.”
Angelina arched an eyebrow, “Uncle Eric is buying vineyards?”
“Yup… not that he has a clue about winemaking but whatever,” Amy slid her rolling chair to the printer, removing the stack of paper and separating it into files, “I think he has some delusions of setting up a wine and cheese shop.”
Jamie, Trish and Angelina exchanged a look at that revelation, nearly identical scheming looks on all of their faces.
“Was it something I said?” Amy finally asked her cousins, the redhead glancing between the trio of blondes.
“When we met with the property evaluator, we were told that the last piece of property could serve as a bookstore of sorts;” Trish flipped her hair back from her shoulder, “and depending on what this other piece of property that your dad is trying to pawn off on us is? We could be that new wine and cheese shop that he might want to make a deal with.”
Angelina nodded briskly, “plus with Mickie finally breaking even on that farmland, we could have an organic grocery store to accompany the wine and cheese shop.”
Amy frowned for a moment, “my dad would shit kittens… all of this previously dilapidated property flourishing in the hands of his nieces…”
Jamie wiggled her eyebrows, “with thanks from a very generous, and anonymous, benefactor…”
Amy grinned, immediately going back to her laptop, “I’m just going to e-mail Mickie and see if she wants to visit San Fran for a few days.”
While Angelina, Jamie and Trish read over the property history, Amy was in the midst of contacting Mickie to explain the details of the newest business venture that would be funded by a yet to be named investment firm. And once Mickie was on board, the cousins were well on their way to drafting up a new business plan.
