“Oh yes we have on the surface. Everything looks wonderful.” Grace concurs
with Samantha.
“On the surface?” Samantha questions.
“What would happen normally is that seeing this we would
finish up the books, having the thought that we have all the outstanding
expenses accounted for. From here we
would distribute the excess to Dr. Pennington’s cause by cutting her a
check. It would only be later after it
was all said and done that the extraneous expenses incurred by Ms. Peabody
would find their way to our books. With
the money already distributed we would be forced to find other ways to make up
the deficit. It’s not as if I would go
back to Dr. Pennington and ask for the money.”
Samantha shakes her head “That’s how she gets people in
trouble isn’t it?”
“Partially or at least here it is.” Grace agrees.
Samantha hands the spreadsheet back to Grace. Settling back in her chair she is reviewing
how they could have operated differently that would have allowed for the
success but not the added expenses that appear to have made the whole luncheon
just an exercise in futility. “There are
things we could have done differently. I
mean some of the excesses were things that really didn’t impact what we were
trying to accomplish.” Samantha finally says.
“Exactly recognizing those differences is important to your
future successes. That and some of these
expenses are just whims of
totally successful if we had been a little more mindful to the bottom line.”
Samantha nodded understanding exactly the points that Grace
was making. Samantha looks to Grace
trying to translate her thoughts in a way that wouldn’t look like she was ready
to turn and run. “Grace, do we have
enough on
that we can shut this down?”
Grace snaps her head up and gives Samantha a piercing look
“What has she done?”
Samantha quickly puts Grace at ease “Nothing she hasn’t
done a thing we haven’t anticipated yet.
But Shane just called, apparently
is making plans to fly me to Vegas as we speak and I really don’t want to
go. Shane says they have it under
control but I think
is getting a little more aggressive.
Yesterday we faked a gas leak and cleared out
being alone with me. If we have enough I
would like to call this quits. OK?”

Thanks again for gracing us today with this great story. Helena is filthy (&) rich…will that really stop her plans?? Again, Merry Christmas and thanks!!
Don’t often have the time to comment, but having just finished Christmas dinner and having persuaded the family to clear away, I have escaped to the den to read in peace. I just wanted to say that this story has been awesome from day one, the breadth and reach of your tale has been truely amazing. I know it must end sometime, but not any time soon I hope. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and to wish you a Merry Christmas and very happy New Year!
You have given us all a great Christmas present–three chapters yesterday and two today. Thanks and have a enjoyable evening.
Ok, I admit it; I’m getting worried about Shane’s friend and all these illegal activities. Not sure if I agree with fighting fire with fire, but that may be the only way because I had the exact thought; disable the plane. I like how Dana came off the bench! That was fun. Have a wonderful Christmas day. Thanks!
Great chapter. Looking forward to more. Enjoy your dinner. Merry Christmas!
Great as always. please post soon
Does our Shane and Vince have people in low places. If something needs doing they get it done. It is scarie to think that both Bette and Tina are going to be gone and leave the baby. thanks Hope your day was as good as ours.
