Jack had secured an excellent promotion, the software company that he worked for had secured the contract to upgrade a relatively large wholesale drinks company who were totally upgrading their existing software. It would take a minimum of eight months to complete the upgrade. Jack was aware of the company; he had patched their software several times in the past. Their hardware and software were old, the system basically couldn't cope. It was a private company owned by the Kramer family, there were three generations of the family involved in the running of the company though Bob Kramer, who was in his eighties had dementia and took no part in the running of the business: his wife Edith who was in her early sixties, still took an active role in the management.
Their son George, his wife Su and their daughter Tina were all involved in the day to day running of the company. Jack had played a significant part in their decision to upgrade their system. Tina knew the system was old and desperately needed to be updated. She had worked on her father, who had then made the decision to proceed. It was a big decision as it would cost more than half a million pounds to upgrade.
Jack lived over a two-hour drive from Kramer's office, it was out of the question for him to drive over four hours every day. He didn't want to stay in a hotel. The company had anticipated this and had offered him an allowance of one hundred and twenty pounds per day to cover food and accommodation.
On Jack's third day, Edith asked Jack, "Where are you staying?"
Jack replied, "I'm in a small hotel which is a twenty-minute drive from here, the food is not good. I'm now looking for a bed and breakfast that has good Internet, can give me an evening meal and also look after my laundry, I've not found anything suitable as yet."
Edith answered, "I may be able to help you, I have three spare bedrooms. My husband had a stroke three years ago. He has a special diet which is prepared by his nursing staff who look after all his needs. He has a catheter which they change. I can offer you all that you are looking for, my Internet has a download speed of 50 Mps, I can prepare your evening meal, I love to cook but hate cooking for myself, what sort of budget have you got?"
Jack replied, "That would be wonderful, 50 Mps is good for me. It's quite a tight budget that I have, I'm paying thirty pounds a night in this small hotel for dinner bed and breakfast, I've been offered twenty-five pounds a night for dinner bed and breakfast, she will also do my laundry for that."
Edith answered, "Jack, come with me, and I'll show you what I can offer you, we also have an indoor swimming pool with a Sauna and Jacuzzi which you could also use. I live a minute from here."
Jack got into Edith's Mercedes SL, and she drove him to her beautiful villa, it was impressive. His bedroom was ensuite with a gorgeous bathroom. The pool was terrific over thirty meters in length. Jack appreciated the luxury of it all. Edith said, "I can do this for you for twenty-five pounds a night, but it must be cash as I have enough problems with my tax at the moment. Would that be ok for you?"
Jack replied, "Mrs Kramer, I would be prepared to give you two-hundred and fifty pounds a week cash or a thousand every four weeks in cash, would you be happy with that?"
"I'm delighted with that, when can you move in?"
Jack looked at his watch, it was just after ten in the morning, he said, "I can phone the hotel now and check out now so I can move in this evening, I'll need to drive to the hotel to pick up my bags and pay them."
Jack then phoned the hotel and told them that he was checking out. Edith drove him back to the office. Over his lunch break, he drove to the hotel where he picked up his bags and paid them. Edith had given him her smartphone number, she had also told him to call her Edith when they were at home and Mrs Kramer when they were in the office.
Edith had told Jack that she was a mature model and had an assignment at twelve, but she would be finished by four this afternoon, she said to him that they would eat duck breast this evening. As Jack drove back from the hotel he wasn't thinking of duck breast but Edith's massive breasts, Edith and Su had both beautiful bodies, they were so curvy, Tina was curvy too, but her body wasn't as full as her mum and gran's.
After three weeks, Jack felt so comfortable staying with Edith, she was an excellent cook, he looked forward to his dinner every evening. On the work front, Jack had been working very hard. The business had been fortunate that they hadn't lost all their data; they were using three computer systems, one for purchases, one for sales and one for wages.
