home was amazing, just like where you would expect a
Hollywood movie star to live. Scott got out of car and looked around. He could
hear the sound of waves as they gently rolled onto the shore and the smell of
the ocean was very evident. Within moments, he was approached by a tall silver-haired,
tanned man wearing white shorts and a white polo shirt, carrying a tennis
racket.
“You must be Scott,” he said, with a smile on his face
“Hi Jim, yer house is amazing,” Scott replied.
“Thanks,” he smiled, “Do you play tennis?”
“That’s one of the few sports I have nae ever really played
Jim, but I see yer do.”
“Yeah, we’ve got a court around the other side of the house.
I’ve just been practicing my serve. Linda doesn’t play anymore, but I like to
play against the kids when they come to visit,” he said, smiling.
“It’s a great house, and what a view!” Scott said, still
taking it all in.
“Let me show you around inside. You can then leave your
things in the guest room.”
Jim showed Scott around the house and introduced him to his
wife. Scott found them both to be very down-to-earth, genuine people who liked
to have fun. They encouraged Scott to rest for a while after his flight and
told him they would arrange lunch whenever he felt hungry. Scott told them he
was always hungry and would be happy to eat whenever they did.
Later that afternoon they all relaxed by the pool and got to
know each other a little better. Jim was very insistent on getting to know
Scott first, before they talked about business. He was adamant that they all
have this afternoon of fun around the pool, and arranged to talk with Scott
later in the evening about his security dilemma.
Scott soon found out that Jim and Linda owned a number of
businesses. He suspected that they were multi-millionaires, if not billionaires.
But, he decided not to ask. He learned that the couple met in College in the late
70’s, and been together ever since.
They started their first business, together, which was a
small restaurant, shortly after they earned their degrees. Their business
gradually progressed from there. It turned out that they now owned several
restaurants, as well as, two casinos in Las Vegas, and a chain of women’s
designer stores which sold clothing, shoes, accessories, fragrances and
jewelry. They were exceptional business people. They made their own fortune,
nothing was given to them. Scott learned they tried to stay out of limelight,
hardly anyone, apart from family and close friends knew of their success. Scott
admired and respected them for that.
Jim and Linda seemed to be so genuine and laid back. He
found them very easy to get along with and talk to, they were very friendly.
They were very physically fit too, they looked good. They both were in their mid-50’s , and Scott could tell they worked out regularly. Jim
was about 6’ tall and was slim, his silver hair was slicked back and he was
clean shaven. He appeared very healthy, and was quite tanned. Linda was also very tanned; she was about 5’5”, long, dark wavy hair, dark
eyes and a pretty smile. She flirted with Scott about his accent, but it was
all in fun. She was wearing a short skirt and bikini top all afternoon in front
of Scott that showed off her great, curvy figure. It was hard for Scott not to
notice. Linda flirted all day with him, right in front of her husband, nothing
was secretive. This made Scott realize they were both very comfortable with
each other and trusted one another. It was obvious they shared a great
relationship. Scott felt at ease with the two of them, it was all just good-natured
fun. He liked them and he hoped he was going to be able to help them with their
security issue.
Later that evening, after they all enjoyed supper, Jim
invited Scott to sit down with him in the main living room. It was a huge room
with white walls and black marble flooring, which included a loft and an open-curved
staircase. There was also
