Chapter 21: CHAPTER 20

The next morning, I was woken up by the noise of workers fixing up the building. These gentlemen were quite disciplined and fast workers, since it was estimated that they would finish the job in about 3 days, and to date, I had not received any complaints about their behavior.Despite all the work and time, I hadn't spent a large amount of money, in the end, all the repairs would only cost me 10 small gold coins. While this is not a small amount, if it were to be purchased on the scale of the business it is not a lot of money.

Shortly after breakfast, Carolina arrived in a public carriage, not unlike a taxi. Normally she would walk, however, as she is moving to this place today, she brought enough baggage to walk.

I was notified of her arrival, so went out to meet her. Seeing her gracefully and elegantly step down from the carriage, that, was not worthy of her beauty, I have to admit, I was a bit dazed, but I quickly recovered, and went over to hold out her hand and help her down.

She did not refuse, she placed her delicate and soft hand on mine to leaning down from the carriage, she thanked me still with her cold expression, but without hostility. The carriage driver had already finished unloading the luggage.

There were 3 large suitcases in front of us, I approached the driver and paid for the service, Carolina wanted to refuse, but I forced her to give in and ordered José to take two of the suitcases to the room that Carolina would use.

I took the last suitcase, and led the way, I could have Carlos carry it, however, I couldn't use the two guards and leave the entrance unprotected, even though we hadn't opened for business, it wasn't a peaceful area, even during daylight hours.

The room where Carolina would stay, was one of the rooms for employees like those of the courtesans, the brothel has 20 rooms and only 9 were occupied, since José and Carlos shared a room.

These rooms are nothing special, but they are comfortable with a good size, plus they had a small bathroom, so it was better than many inns. Carolina checked out the room, and although her cold expression didn't change from her, her voice hinted that, she liked it.

I told her "Unpack and organize your things, then go to the main ballroom", she complied. The ballroom is where we used to have meetings, because I needed to introduce her.

Little more than an hour later, Carolina arrived in the room. The entire staff was already there, I asked Carolina to come over, and I began my speech in front of everyone.

"I present Carolina, she will be our administrator, she will be in charge of managing the place, her duties include managing personnel, negotiating provisions, liquor and any other necessary activity, she will be the one with whom you should talk about any business situation ".

They all said "Understood" at the same time, so I stepped aside, allowing Carolina to take the stage and say a few words.

"Good morning everyone, I appreciate the welcome, I hope we get along well, I will do my best to make this business prosper so, if, you have any request, concern or recommendation, do not hesitate to tell me."

Her melodious voice did not match the cold expression on her face, surprising everyone except for me, since I had already spoken to her yesterday. Her words were short, but without arrogance, which left a good impression on everyone.

After the introductions, everyone returned to their activities, while I walked to the office with Carolina. Once there, we began to discuss the issues that needed to be done before the opening of the premises in 2 months.

"Well, as you can see, repairs and staff training are being carried out, my goal is to open the doors to businesses in two and a half months, now you can ask whatever you need to know."

"So, I'll be direct, when do the repairs finish? What kind of trainings? Budget available?" Carolina asked fearlessly, and I answered her, in the same way. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"The repairs will finish in 3 to 4 days, the training of the courtesans is guided by me, I teach them how to adopt roles to entertain the guests in public and private, the cooks are taking cooking classes to improve the selection of the menu and the taste" .

I stopped for a moment, which surprised Carolina, which was normal, she couldn't know, I was calculating how much budget I will invest in the business, I had about 500 small gold coins, but also knew, that should leave a little in reserve, so I said, "As for the budget, 300 small gold coins".

"That's not much", Carolina said thoughtfully, to which I could only smile ironically, I knew that it wasn't a lot of money for a business like this, there were still many things to do before opening the doors of the business, and that amount wouldn't be enough, but I didn't bother with it, and quickly started the talk again.

"Certainly it's little, but it's enough to get going and move forward little by little, for now we need the essentials, staff at the reception and maids who are in charge of cleaning and serving food."

Carolina took out a small notebook, and began to take notes, while I continued, "I think 4 women serving as maids would be good, 2 clean up in the morning and 2 serve as waiters during evening hours, for the reception, one person is enough, gender does not matter, but if it is a man, must be prudent, I will not tolerate misconduct in my business".

The beautiful lady's delicate hand moved ferociously, while she wrote down everything I told her, just seeing her, a smile spread on my face, so I continued with the instructions.

"We need to get other guards, but I will take care of that personally, long-term contracts must be established for the provision of food and liquor, as well as for these materials".

I paused for a moment as I handed her the sheet where I wrote down the materials for making the vitality drink and the birth control pill.

Carolina didn't know what those materials were used for, but when I explained what they did, her eyes shone brightly, it was the first time that, her expression changed, after, she said with emotion.

"Boss, if, these products are sold in bulk you can make a fortune", upon hearing her comment, I smiled helplessly, and said calmly, "For now that is not possible to mass produce, for now it will be sold as a unique drink in our establishment, in the future we will see if we can scale up".

She understood that there was no way to produce large quantities, so what I had proposed was the best course of action, but then, she spoke again, "Then, boss, I know that the birth control pills are meant for our courtesans and will be in little demand from our guests, but I propose that the vitality drinks be at a hefty price".

"Why do you think that?" I asked curiously, in my previous life I was a business professional, things were no different in this place, so I had a good foundation, but I wanted to know how capable Carolina was, so I wanted to know her thought, and she did not disappoint me.

"Boss, if the drink is effective, it will be very popular, since production is low at the moment, we can treat it as a high quality product, although it will be difficult having high profile clients being a small brothel, it should not be difficult to get some visitors with certain economic resources that can afford it".

"I had thought the same thing, also, for the moment the pills will be for our courtesans, but in the future they will be as required as the vitality drinks, for now the drink will be the only thing that will be sold, but later we will talk about that topic".

I ended that topic there, since I hadn't made either product yet, so I didn't know how the system ability works, so I didn't want to blindly make plans. Carolina understood and we continued with the conversation.

"Promotion is also needed, but that's just to think about, since there is still time for the opening, the last thing is to check the dressing room for the courtesans and the uniforms for the other employees."

This point was essential, the courtesans must wear special costumes, they could not only be erotic, in fact, they must be based on the role they are going to play, for example, Sonia will be a dominatrix, so she must have an elegant dress that shows status, because in her role she had to be practically a noble, a proud lady above the peasants, who in this place, will be the guests or clients.

That was a matter of great importance, so I made it a point not to skimp on it. "Boss, have you defined the name of the establishment?" Carolina asked innocently, and I immediately replied, "Heavenly Paradise".

The name was imposing, which was not consistent with the status of the brothel, the courtesans were not the most beautiful and experienced, the establishment had no frills, no riches, the entertainment is poor, and while the food will improve it will not necessarily be exceptional.

Taking all these faults in consideration, it can be seen, that, the name is too imposing for what the actual venue is, but in the end, my goal is to rise as a God, so I should be dominant.

Carolina, on the other hand, did not think much about it, for her, I was only showing my ambition, in fact, she liked that, because the better the business works, the better conditions she would have, thinking about this aroused, emotion in her.
