The banks are all taken care of too. Drake has been working on that, convincing them about the viability of this deal. This way, the less skittish the banks are about the underlying business, the more willing they are to keep extending their insurance to us. Which allows us to lend money while still keeping our credit lines intact to pay for things like payroll and rent.
Yeah, it's all one big fucking house of cards, isn't it?
That's why when one piece of it comes crumbing down, the whole thing starts to teeter.
But when one piece of it starts making money, the whole thing shoots into orbit.
This is going to be so fucking great too. We're gonna make so much fucking money. And then I'm gonna take that money, get hundreds of $100 bills and shower Natalie with it. She's going to be naked on the bed as I make money rain down on her.
Then I'm going to take her gorgeous body and lay her down on the bed.
I'm going to spread her legs and lift them up, exposing that beautiful waxed pussy to my hungry fucking gaze.
I'm going to enjoy that view, as Natalie's naked fucking tits are covered in dollar bills and her legs are spread open. I'm going to take my cock and glide it across her slit, teasing those puffy pussy lips till she's moaning for me to take her.
Don't forget Drake either.
I want him running his cock across her face on the other side of her. I want to lift her up as we both fuck her. Pass her around like an object. Just use her for our lust. Completely fucking dominate her and pound her pussy and ass so fucking hard that by the time we're done with her she's just a whimpering mass of flesh.
Her nerves should be so shot with pleasure that she's quivering.
I growl to myself thinking of what I'm going to do to her. What Drake is going to do to her. What the both of us are going to do to her.
Once the damn money comes through.
I look to guys sitting at the Treasury desk. I'm standing right next to them. The Vice President of the team looks at me and gulps. He knows we're behind schedule.
"We still haven't gotten the okay to go from--" he's about to finish but I cut him off.
"If the CFO of this Firm hasn't given the green light, I'm not telling you to do shit," I tell the Treasury guy. He sighs visibly. No doubt he thought I was going to tell him to break some sort of rules and transfer the money.
"Get me on the line with him now," I tell Treasury.
There's only one 'him'. My CFO, Carter Blake.
"What's the holdup?" I ask him the moment he comes on the line.
There's a silence on the other side. I'm about to lay into the fucker when he speaks.
"The banks aren't releasing the funds," he says simply. But I can tell there's frustration on the other side. He's not saying this easily. He must've been on the phone with them yelling and threatening them already. He knows that's what I'd expect him to fucking do.
"Where's the holdup?" I ask Carter.
"They won't say," he sighs. "But all they will tell me is that they no longer believe this deal is viable."
Wait.
Fuck.
Viability? Drake is supposed to be working on that. He's supposed to be assuring the banks that if anything, and I mean anything happens to Dirty Lil' Angels and Natalie, that Castleton Capital will swoop the fuck in and buy up the entire company to honor the debts.
Without Drake's assurances, no bank on Wall Street will invest i
n a sex toy company.
"Get Drake on the line," I say through gritted teeth. I don't like the way this smells.
"That's the thing, Boss," Carter says and sighs again. "I tried. Drake's office isn't taking any calls. And they won't comment when I ask them if they're willing to go on record to assure the viability of this investment. They've gone into hiding."
