Heartbreak Hotel

A Merger

Christian
Meeting with Daisy and her attorneys including my father proved exhausting by lucrative for both of us. We agreed on a merger and rebranding of her company to Adams- Grey Enterprise Holdings. Roz and I are heading to New York with Daisy and the attorneys including my father to get things in order there and make sure we have the teams we want to assure we have a fully operational and trustworthy staff running the place. We are also relocating some of our resources there and bringing a few back to Seattle. Daisy knew at 18 no one takes her seriously and without knowing how to run a company she definitely needed someone with vast experience and that would be me. Everything was fully explained to her in detail and explained again until she understood or she didn't and we told her we could handle the situation whatever would come up. Grey would be the controlling partner until she decided to either start running the company again or just outright sell to me. Either way it benefited her more than me to step in. We were able to get my projects done and out to the public on time.

Roz
Gwen was able to join me in New York and we brought a few of Grey Publishing editors to check out some of the small publishing companies for buyouts and set up for ebooks and we found three of them and we bought all three and we had six editors working with them. Both Steele's came along and we got a quick overview of what was needed to bring everything and everyone up to date. I was especially impressed with what the Steele's came up with individually. Christian left the publishing purchases to me and I got it done vey quickly. We had done all our research before we arrived and knew the bottom numbers to offer.

Daisy
My business skills aren't what they should be to run the Adams company and it was obvious. So when it was suggested that we merge the company with his company temporarily with him having controlling interest in it. I looked over everything with the attorneys including Carrick Grey and after having things explained to me over and over again what things meant. So I am just going to learn how to run my company while someone else is actually running it. I am going to receive my normal profits from the company each month.

Carrick
After an exhausting two weeks we are all headed home and Daisy is moving into her new apartment when she gets back from New York. I noticed something going on between Anastasia and Christian and kept wondering what it was. But I didn't ask about it. Christian keeps his dating life private even from us. Roz and Gwen are sitting huddled together, they had a lot of fun in New York on her off time. I know Daisy, Anastasia and Ariana got close during this trip. Christian was with them a lot of time during the evenings. He actually helped shop for wedding attire and that is saying something. The party they held after the merger was signed was pretty nice and the young ladies arrived escorted by Christian and security. I am not sure who was dressed more beautifully, but Anastasia stood out and was arm in arm with Christian.

Ariana
I can't believe Christian helped us buy the dresses for my wedding. I think he has a thing for Anastasia and I think it has been since he saw her in Portland and I think he knew the differences between her and I and he found out that she worked at the hardware store. I know he went out of his way to get an introduction at that gala at his new hotel opening. I suspect he comes to Grey publishing just to see her.

Daisy
I definitely like Christian but I think he has his sites set on Anastasia and I am not sure if she is aware of his feelings for her yet. I know she really likes him and they enjoy each other's company but they aren't ready to admit it to themselves yet. I am sitting looking at the choices for Ethan and Ariana's wedding with her and it is the last thing I want to do. I wanted to look at the college courses that Christian recommended to take if I wanted to really get ready to run my company in the future. I am not sure if I will ever be capable of running the company after dealing with everything these two weeks.

Christian
I wanted to take Anastasia to my hotel room after the party and see where it led to. I did kiss her when we were leaving the party. We were in the elevator and I couldn't help myself. We had a few evenings that we were alone at dinner because everyone had gone to their rooms. We enjoyed each others company a lot and I think we felt the attraction. Then we ended up in the elevator all alone and I looked at how sexy her gown was and how beautiful she was and I pulled her into my arms and kissed her and touched her waist and moved my hands upward and  moved inside the top of her gown and felt how much I turned her on. Her nipples were hard. I removed them and fixed her top and apologized. I decided to talk to her about it away from the others but until the flight I wasn't able to.

Anastasia
Christian is nervous around me after what happened in the elevator and he shouldn't be. I allowed him to do what he did and probably would have allowed him to do more but he stopped and fixed my dress and apologized for his behavior to me. I did say much about it because I wanted him to kiss me and I allowed him to fondle my naked breasts. So here we are sitting away from everyone and I can tell he wants to talk about what happened and probably ask that we forget it ever happened.
