His suggestions swept away the owners. After reading his résumé, they were even more amazed. The owners were pleased with his creative talents and professionalism. They offered him the job as Director of Marketing and Advertising, but first, they had to check his references and would get back to him shortly.
A week later, Dough heard from Cid and Betty. After checking his character references and hearing glowing accounts of how he made millions for his clients, they offered him the job as head of marketing and advertising.
After getting that good news, he made several phone calls and said to the people on the other end, "It's a done deal."
Later that evening, he called Passion and gave her an update. So overjoyed, she could not wait to see and work with him. Still, it was not clear if he would be her partner or an employee.
She contacted the owners and inquired about Dough's employment status. They informed her that he would be on probation for six months. If things worked out, he would have the option to become her associate partner.
In two days, Passion was due to arrive in Carson City. Dough was getting his act together and coming up with the grand scheme of all schemes.
In twelve months, someone would make an offer to Cid and Betty to buy the two shops. It would be a well thought-out plot. He knew three ex-offenders who would participate in the deception. They would pretend to be investors and handle all transactions.
Two offshore bank accounts would be set up in countries that had no extradition treaties. These types of depositories were great, because they usually left no paper trail.
Passion's flight arrived on time. She called Dough from the airport to let him know she was on her way. In forty-five minutes, she was home. When she opened the door, he was standing there; they embraced and kissed each other like overzealous fleas.
What a rubenesque beauty, he thought to himself.
What a hunk, she thought to herself.
He looked as if he had just stepped out of a men's fashion magazine. He was tall, muscular, and downright attractive. Completely fulfilled, she knew he was going to be her better half. It was positively love at second sight.
She went to her room, got undressed and took a long hot bubble bath. While she was relaxing in the tub, sensual thoughts started to seep into her head. Finally, she got out of the tub, dried off and got dressed. When she entered the dining area, dinner was waiting.
They sat down, started to talk and were delighted to meet in person. She was thankful he got the job and talked about applying unique strategies to make the business successful and profitable.
