Two days later, they received a call from an investor, who along with other backers was interested in buying both Gourmet Treats.
Because of the shops' unique product line, good management, and potential sales growth, the venture capitalists saw a great opportunity to expand Gourmet Treats into a global phenomenon by opening shops in various countries. They wanted to meet with the owners and make an offer that would leave the couple set for life.
Cid and Betty were quite intrigued and agreed to get together with the investors, who would be in New York at the end of the week.
Back in Carson City, Dough was making plans to move money from Gourmet Treats' account and the owners' joint account into an offshore account. He was able to hack into the couple's financial records and obtain their username, password, and personal identification number. How he was able to accomplish this was unknown. The business account had over three million and the joint account close to two million dollars.
Passion was in a world of confusion. All she thought about was Dough and wondered why he did not want to make love to her. After all, they had lived together for over a year. She saw herself as a sexy and desirable woman.
What is the problem? Perhaps he is impotent or not into me, she imagined.
On the job, he was all business. She would try to get his attention by flirting with him and wearing seductive clothing, but these tactics were ineffective.
Lastly, she came up with a line of attack that would answer her query, Is he in love with me or not?
The next day, she left work early, went home and prepared some spicy dishes, which would stimulate his sexual appetite and had Cold Duck on ice. She removed her garments, took a shower, got out and sprayed her body with a lavender scented splash. She played some soft romantic music, got into his bed and waited.
As soon as he arrived home, the melody and the aromatic food spellbound him. When he walked into his bedroom, Passion was naked as a jade bird and had positioned herself like a lady in waiting. He stood there with a devious grin, got undressed, and before she could open her mouth, he was going at it like a greyhound trying to break the speed record.
If she thought the lovemaking was going to last for eternity, it would never happen. In two minutes, it was over. He gave a completely new meaning to the idiom, biff bam, thank you ma'am.
She was flabbergasted. It was the fastest undertaking she had ever encountered, and after his quick presentation, he fell asleep.
