Chloe picked up the phone “Natasha it’s all going wrong.” “What is?” “Mr. Henderson’s nephew has taken over when Mr. Henderson died and nothing has gone right since.” “I’ll drop by.”
“Mr. Henderson was planing a major expansion and most of it is in place brought and paid for but Ben won’t spend the money for the last bit. He looked at the profit figures for the last two years and thinks the company is heading for bankruptcy. We have invoices that have been paid twice, some that haven’t been paid when they should have been paid and now this one he’s asked me to pay but it isn’t a company we even deal with.” Natasha looked over the books and walked round the factory floor. “He’s an idiot.” “Yes but he owns the company.” Natasha looked thoughtful. “The profit for the last two years was roughly $100,000 a year?” “Because Mr. Henderson poured the money into the expansion.” “How evil do you feel?” “As long as I have a job and money I don’t mind murdering him if I need to.”
Natasha dressed carefully then had Chloe introduce her to Ben. “She’s good at scanning things Mr. Henderson and I’m sure she can sort the invoices out if we give her a part time job.” Natasha stretched out one leg just to give him a glimpse of thigh under her spilt skirt. “Yes, yes hire her.” Ben turned his back on them both and gave his attention to his pay per view sports channel.
Natasha returned to Chloe’s office. “All he really wants is to watch sports?” “I think so.” “We’d best make life easy for him then.” Soon Natasha was authorised to sign invoices since it made Ben’s life so much easier. She juggled the invoices and the figures so the profit came in at $10,000 a month, just enough so Ben saw a slight improvement and that allowed her to complete the expansion plans. She set up a web site and soon her private company was selling 80% of the output direct to the customers via the web site. She got paid when the goods were shipped, Ben got paid net 90 and Chloe would send the invoices out at the end of the month.
Chloe was curled up on Ben’s lap. “If you had ten million dollars you could just put it in a mutual fund and withdraw 4% year. That would give you $400,000 a year. Would you like that?” She kissed him and ran her hands over his body. “Yeah that would be really neat but who’d give me ten million for the company? It only makes $120,000 a year profit.” “I’ll make a phone call shall I?” “There’s a thousand in it for you if you can fix it up.”
The next morning a lawyer turned up with a cheque for ten million dollars and some forms for him to sign. Ben waltzed out the door carrying his cheque.
Chloe turned to Natasha. “So where did the money come from?” Remember the net 90?” “You mean you paid him with the money you owed on the invoices but hadn’t paid?” Natasha smiled, “Not only that but we were a bit tardy sending out some of the invoices.” “So how much are you worth?” “50/50 remember so how much are we worth.” She whispered the amount in Chloe’s ear. “We could have a fountain overflowing with money.”
