They awoke at seven. May was very aroused and went on top of Paul. She ground into Paul for thirty minutes as Paul rubbed her clit and played with her tits. Then Paul came. They showered together then May made breakfast. It was now nine, eight o'clock in Champagne. Paul phoned the Chateau. Colette answered the phone. Paul said, "Good morning Colette, how are you?"
Colette replied, "I'm good. We had a great day yesterday. We spent eleven thousand three hundred euros. We got a lot of beautiful things. Jill and Debbie are having their morning swim. Would you like to speak with them?"
Paul said, "I'm happy that you are busy. I will phone them later. I called to ask you if you can source any Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel and any other top French producers of luxury items as May would like to specialise in these articles."
Colette answered, "That's not a problem. I know several dealers that carry big stocks of these. I am surprised that nobody has thought of stocking these before."
Paul replied, "Super, May will fly over with me on Friday. I am sure that she will buy a lot. I don't know what time we will arrive on Friday. Is it better for you if we come at say nine on Friday morning?"
Colette answered, "That would be great. I will pick you up from the Airport when you know the exact time. Reims and Epernay are awash with these items. I am aware that the prices are much lower here than in Paris. We buy a lot from four of the dealers that trade in these items, so it won't be a problem to buy them at good prices."
Paul replied, "That sounds great. I will let you know the arrival time as soon as I book the plane. I think Lena is coming on Friday night as she wants to show me some things."
Colette answered, "Yes, she is flying in from Geneva at five on Friday afternoon. There's a lot of work going on here at the moment. Rene and Serge are here every day. The cellars and kitchens are nearly completed. They think that the hotel could be open in six months. Jill has suggested that we have an Antique shop within the hotel. I think that would be a good idea. Monsieur Le Grand is excellent. We are getting at least six house clearances a week through him."
Paul came off the phone and told May what was happening. He called Gibson Air and booked a flight for six thirty on Friday morning.
They woke at five on Friday morning. After a quick but intensive session, they showered and dressed. Paul drove to the Airport and parked in the Gibson Air car park. May was impressed with the speed they boarded and took off. They both had Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon for breakfast. It was very tasty. The stewardess told them that it was one of the most popular breakfast dishes. They arrived at Reims Airport, and Colette was waiting for them. Paul introduced May then they left for the first dealer that Colette had arranged for them to visit. There were three more afterwards.
Three hours later they arrived at the Chateau. May had bought two Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunks which were both in perfect condition. May had spent over one hundred thousand euros, but she had bought an awful lot of pieces. She had several Hermes crocodile Birkin handbags. She also had over three hundred Hermes silk scarves. May had bought so many different things from Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Dior. May had also bought jewellery and watches from Cartier, Bolex, Chopard, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Ebel.
May had bought very well. Colette said, "You have bought well and wisely today. I would say in the Center you can retail every one of the articles you have purchased at four times the price you have paid for them and in some cases even more. I know now what interests you, so I will keep my eyes open for you."
They arrived at the Chateau. Debbie and Jill were sitting on the terrace. Paul hugged and kissed each of them. Jill said, "It's wonderful to see you. We have been having a great rest, but we are still swimming for two hours every morning. Lena is coming for the weekend. Paul, after breakfast, is the best time for me. Say from nine until one. That would give us four hours every day which I believe will be enough time to go through all the papers she is bringing with her."
Paul replied, "That's good for me. I get two or three emails from Lena every day which keeps me abreast of all that's happening in your empire. I think I will soon have to spend more time in Paris and Geneva with her as this would give me a better grasp of the reality of what is happening. The Center is running well, and the Auction House has its first sale in three weeks. Jean has everything organised for that. I have the Catalogue with me. It is impressive."
Paul then went to get the Catalogue. May had seen it, but both Debbie and Jill were impressed with it. They then had a light lunch. May and Paul had a bottle of Champagne with their meal. After lunch, Paul took May and showed her the work that was being done. It was over four weeks since Paul had been there and he was amazed at the progress that had been made. They went upstairs for a session as they were meeting in the lounge at six thirty before going to Serge's restaurant at seven.
May and Paul were first in the lounge. Paul got a bottle of Champagne and two glasses. Then Lena came into the lounge. She looked stunning. Paul introduced Lena to May then went to get her a glass. Jill and Debbie then came into the lounge. Paul got them their mineral water. Both Jill and Debbie were looking stunning. They didn't yet look pregnant, but they both were glowing. May said, "I'm so looking forward to meeting the man who creates the best food I have ever tasted. The breakfast on the plane this morning was excellent."
Jill replied, "We have so many different meals in the pipeline, it is so exciting. Lena, how many hotels do we have leased out? I think with Serge's meals we should think about taking the operations of the hotels ourselves. Paul's Bistro is a perfect example of what can be done. Do you know how long the leases have to run?"
Lena answered, "There's three hundred and twelve in total. The majority are in Europe. I would go slowly with this as you have an excellent revenue from the rents. All the leaseholders must take full comprehensive Insurance from AXE which gives you profit from that as well. We operate hotels in Geneva, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich, Paris, Nice, Lyon, Antwerp, Brussels and London. A total of ten. We should introduce the Champagne and meals to these units first. I will contact the Director of Hotels on Monday. I know that they are all excellent businesses. I will show you the figures tomorrow. I have not yet tasted the Sous-vide meals but am looking forward to tonight."
