Hi, I've disabled comments. This is meant to be fun, and the shitty comments and trolling are tedious. I hope that you enjoy it.
Jack had a History degree when he was selected by Sotheby's to an auctioneer training programme. Jack was surprised that he had got this and went off to London for the next two years. He stayed an additional year with them in London. Then Jack's father, who had a small farm, had a mild stroke. He recovered but was reducing the work that he was doing. Jack's ambition was to become an auctioneer, but he also wanted to take over the running of his father's farm. In the last few years, the farm had been heavily automated; the profitability had increased dramatically.
Jack now thought it best if he returned home and joined a local firm. In the County that he lived, the biggest and best auctioneers were Rippon and Co; Colonel Rippon owned this. It had been in his family for three generations. They were Livestock auctioneers with three Auction Houses. They also made General sales but were keen to get involved in the Antique and Collectible Market. Jack had, while still at University, been on several Antique programmes on the television. He had a tremendous knowledge of Antiques.
Jack's father had a word with the Colonel. He was very interested in meeting Jack. He had seen him on television. His training with Sotheby's was more than than a bonus. An interview was arranged at the head office of the Rippon's. To cut a long story short. The Colonel was impressed with Jack. He was to take over the Antique auction side of the business. They only had one auction of Antiques once every three months. Jack knew he had a lot of work to do, but at least he could stay at home and help his father. Jack's mum was now doing a lot of work around the farm.
Jack started working, he enjoyed it, but it was a lot of work. He was given a Land Rover as a company car. They were terrific for driving on farm roads. Jack arranged that he would visit the two other Auction Houses one day a week and be in the head office three days a week. Within three months, he had an Antique Auction in the main saleroom once a month with over a thousand lots. The two others were acting as feeders for the main saleroom. The Colonel was over the moon with Jack's work.
One day the Colonel asked Jack if he would be in the office at nine the following day. Jack told him he would be there. The Colonel then said to him that he wanted to introduce him to the Earl of Ashton, who was a local aristocratic with huge farms. The Colonel told Jack that the mornings were the only time that suited the Colonel to see him. The Colonel had been in the Army with the Earl, and over the years, they had done a lot of business together. He also told Jack that the Earl wanted a valuation of the antiques at Ashton Hall. The Colonel wanted this done for a nominal fee as he was indebted to the Earl. Jack didn't say anything but thought it could be a lot of work and take a bit of time due to Jack's workload. Jack would also have to see the property.
The following day, Jack was summoned to the Colonel's office just after nine. The Earl and the Countess of Ashton were both there having coffee and biscuits. Jack was offered the same. The Earl then explained that he and his wife were merely the custodians of the Estate, trying to upkeep it and profitable for the next generation. His son, the Marquis, had just finished at an Agricultural College. He would now join in the management of the Estate. The Earl looked a lot older than the Countess; Jack guessed maybe twenty years. The Countess was a tall, distinguished-looking woman with a full figure.
They generally talked for twenty minutes; Jack quickly realised that the questions had been well thought out. They were appraising Jack. Jack must have met the criteria as the Earl said, "I think that you should visit Ashton House Jack, we are changing it quite a bit at the moment as we are making the House more commercial, an absolutely wonderful place to have a wedding. It's better that you deal with my wife as she takes more to do with the day to day running of the place, darling, have you a card that you can give Jack? Then I think it's better to arrange a time to meet at the House?"
The Countess produced a card from her handbag, she leant over and gave it to Jack. Jack couldn't believe how big her tits were. They were massive and jiggled beautifully as she moved. The Countess said, "Jack, I've enjoyed listening to you. You talk a lot of sense. We have lots of Antiques, but we're converting it to a Hotel in the main part of the House. We will put our Antiques into storage as they are far too good to be used in a Hotel. I am on the go a lot. The best way to contact me is on WhatsApp. Send me a message, and I'll get back to you immediately. When would be a good time for you to visit?"
Jack explained his work routine, saying that he had a forty-mile each way drive to home and back for the three days he was in the head office. He was using up two hours a day when he did that. He said that he could be at Ashton House at eleven for the initial meeting next Tuesday morning. The Countess checked her diary and told Jack that she could be free all day to show him around. Then the Earl and Countess left. The Colonel was happy. He said, "Jack, you handled yourself well. The Earl and his family have been dealing with Rippon's for years. The amount of business we do together is substantial. What did you think of them?"
"They seemed very nice; I'll have to see the property. There's quite a difference in ages between them? I like the Countess. She speaks her mind."
"It's over twenty years; the Earl married before to an absolute idiot. It only lasted two years then he got divorced. Thank goodness they had no children. The Countess is from down south; they met at a Polo competition at Ashton House. They have one of the oldest Polo fields in the country there. That's probably the reason they are converting to a Hotel. The next thing they were dating, the Countess comes from a very good family. They got married and had a wonderful son. He works hard. One thing you should know, the Earl drinks a lot, that's why you meet him in the morning. By lunchtime, he is completely drunk and sent to his room. Sad, but be prepared to see this."
