Arnold made good use of his time in the back seat with Olivia. He was bemused by her when she stripped off her dress for him as soon as we left city limits. She loved being next to him, naked and available for him to tantalise her erect nipples and play with her smooth pussy lips as he saw fit. Olivia was hopelessly infatuated by his educated sophistication and Arnold proved that he had a way with the kind of complements about her body that she loved to hear. Michelle and Dárcy had trained this poor girl to believe that she was quite worthless to anybody else but them.
She had low self esteem and I realised now that by giving her a chance to bed Arnold last night, after Monica and I had already had our way with him, we had merely reinforced that training. She was used to being at the end of life's queues to share the spoils of the finer rewards of endeavour. She had won that silly Bikini contest but believed that Dárcy and Michelle deserved all the credit. I hoped to make her believe in herself and bring out the best in her as we all went on from here. Arnold had himself a willing sex slave for now and he appeared to be enjoying every minute of his time with Olivia in the back seat.
Monica drove much faster in order to ignore her jealousies. She had to concentrate more on the road ahead that way. I removed my own dress to show her that I still preferred her attention in spite of last night's encounter with Arnold. She had to get over that jealousy of hers if our new partnership was to last.
I was impressed with Arnold's dedication to our interests when we got closer to our home turf, however. He flicked out his cell phone and made arrangements to see the big warehouse that we decided to inspect as soon as possible in our quest for new premises. It sounded so perfect. The elderly landlord eagerly seized on the opportunity to tenant his building so soon after the last tenant had abandoned the building once the lease had ran out. He assured Arnold that he would be willing to negotiate a special low rent for the first three months and didn't ask too many awkward questions when he agreed to let us make alterations to the upstairs portion of the building. We decided that if it was big enough to accommodate a flat for us girls to live in, then all our transport worries could be solved right away. I mentioned to Monica that it was so near to the beach it would be a perfect place for the three of us to stay together.
Arnold's next call was to the bank and he explained that he wanted a loan to cover the cheque he wrote out to Greg. He told them that we had an exciting opportunity to set up a major film company similar to his biggest client, 'Blue Angel Films' and guaranteed that he would make the new venture succeed. He told them that by the end of the week we would be fully set up and the bank could secure their loan on over a Hundred thousand dollars worth of chattels and equipment that we had already bought. I heard him guarantee the loan, until the bank sent in their valuer to assess our gear, by using his own assets as collateral.
"Great! I'll see you tomorrow then." Arnold was beaming with satisfaction as he concluded his call on our behalf.
"Monica!" He tapped her on the shoulder. "Do you want to sell your share in our shop in town?"
Monica considered all the implications of spreading her time too thinly with the added burden of her responsibilities in the shop in the city. Her face lit up as she realised what Arnold had in mind.
"Do you think we can sell our shares?" She inquired.
"Why not, baby! We're on a roll now. Lets do it!"
Arnold was excited as he rang both of their other partners and persuaded them that he and Monica were prepared to give them a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the two of them out. He was very persuasive and after a short time both he and Monica had extracted themselves from any future involvement with the shop premises. A price had been agreed and it would be finalised the next day. I was totally impressed with his capabilities and grateful that we had this dynamic individual working for us to stitch the whole deal together.
We arrived at what was to be our new studio and Arnold walked around with the owner. Monica and I sat in the car with Olivia and decided to leave the whole thing to Arnold. All of us were convinced that he would obtain the best possible deal to secure the huge building for our new studio premises. We watched Arnold waving his hands in the air and point to the dilapidated state of the paintwork and the broken windows in the upper floor. The we watched as they shook hands and realised that he had come to a suitable arrangement for us to lease the premises and start up our new business enterprise. Within the space of an hour's worth of haggling he had convinced the elderly owner that we would ultimately be the most productive and financially rewarding tenants that he was likely to find for his building.
Arnold left the owner and walked back to the car to consult with us.
He had obtained a six month rent holiday to do up the premises in return for a ten year lease with an optional right of purchase or a further ten years at the end of his new lease term, by agreement, if we didn't like the price or were unable to afford it by then.
"What do you think, ladies?" Arnold searched our eyes for approval to settle on the deal.
It was absolutely perfect for our needs, with no residential housing nearby and other businesses in the area confined largely to storage types of businesses that operated during normal business hours.
As Arnold planned to do most of our filming at night there would be no outside noises to detract from the sound quality of the movies that we were proposing to make. In addition the building was large enough for us to develop an apartment for all of us ladies to live in.
"Go for it!" Monica was delighted. "I like it."
"It looks perfect to me." I agreed, turning to Olivia.
"I'll do all the painting!" Olivia was eagerly nodding her head as she gave her approval to be part of the proposal.
"I'll tell him that we'll go ahead then?" Arnold asked, to be certain of our agreement that this building would be our new business premises for the next ten years.
"Yes!!" It was decided that we would all pitch in and all of us answered in unison.
"Lets do it then." Arnold straightened up to his full height.
He went back to the landlord with renewed enthusiasm to clinch the agreement he had already made, with our blessings.
When it became obvious that the deal had been done and Arnold now had the keys the landlord left, waving cheerfully to us as we sat in the car. He was happy to leave us in charge of his building.
We all held a planning meeting inside the deserted warehouse to get our new business underway. We all ended up with some work to do and the trucks would have to be redirected to our new premises to unload all our new gear. Arnold also used his cell phone to arrange for the phones to be re-connected and to change the power supply into our new company name. He was delighted with the fortunate way that all his plans had fallen into place so perfectly. He said it was a good sign that our new business enterprise would succeed beyond our wildest dreams and make all of us more financially independent for the future. Arnold was appointed to be company spokesperson and Monica agreed to handle most of the lesser business affairs. Olivia and I were left in charge of hiring labour to paint and redecorate the building and restore the studio equipment back to it's former working place within our new premises once it arrived. We all worked hard to achieve this for the rest of the week. We hired capable builders and as soon as they had closed in the studio/bedroom/bathroom and hanging the door, they went off to another part of the complex. I think they enjoyed their work but both Olivia and I realised that things slowed down too much when we were working above them and they could catch glimpses of our smooth unadorned bodies beneath our skirts. As much as we both enjoyed their attention we found things to do away from their prying eyes in the downstairs part of the complex until they had finished upstairs.
The room was completed at last so Olivia and I decided to paint the un-mirrored walls in a pleasant hue of pink latex. We had the paint and equipment brought in and opened the cans.
"We're going to get paint all over our dresses." She observed.
"I'm game if you are?" Without further ado I slipped off my dress and put it on the bed. "We'll do it in the nude, then!"
