Chapter 734 A New Georgy-girl:>Ep30

• It Begins
• It all began, like so many things, innocently enough; Georgy and I were getting ready to survey a couple of potential projects while Aunt Kay and Megan, the children's nanny got them ready for school and pre-school; normally Georgy and Megan did it, or on her days off I did, because Aunt Kay was eighty-one now, and while still spry and fit, just wasn't up to managing three boisterous, outspoken hooligans like my brood when they got out of hand. This morning was different, though; the vendor was catching a flight to Canada that afternoon so if we wanted to nail him down we had to be there on the bounce, which meant dumping the school run on Megan and heading down there hot-foot.
• Georgy, of course, was consumed with guilt; looking after our kids was the be-all and end-all of her life, but we also had a business to run, and she was the one who mattered when it came to acquisitions and planning, not me; I was just there for the heavy lifting. Georgy was the negotiator and final say, and those two properties were something she'd set her heart on the second she'd spotted them and realised what a money-spinner they could be, as well as a showpiece for us and what we did.
