“Oh. I nearly forgot. Do you think that he’d mind if I hired him a crew for the yard? I wouldn’t want to take care of his sucker on my own, but it has been pointed out to me that you’re all stubborn.” Taking it as a compliment, they all thanked her. “You guys are certifiable.”

“I think that at one point, all of us were looking into having a lawn service. I know that the big house has one.” Knox leaned back in his chair and looked out the windows. “I think that he does need one. I know that when I tried to mow my lawn, I gave up about halfway through. It’s a big fucking yard, and I know nothing about trimming or anything like that. I have paid a kid to mow the front for me, but I haven’t seen him since. I know that I paid him well, but I think he figured out girls were just too nice to look at, so he stopped working.”

They all had suggestions on who to hire for their lawns. He didn’t know that Zander had his mowed with a service. When asked if he thought that they could use the same people, he shook his head.

“I hired them without thought as to how much mowing and trimming there had to be done. At some point, they just stopped weeding the gardens and left the bushes out front to grow too big. Now, I’ll probably have to have them taken out. They’re a mess.” Locke asked him why he was having them still work for him. “I don’t know. I was getting the yard mowed and figured that someday I’d hire a better crew. I guess that time got away from me, and I didn’t do it.”

“I think that’s true for a lot of things that you have going on in your household.” She turned to him first. “Did you know that you have a dry cleaning service that comes to your house and steam presses your suits weekly? When I heard that, I wondered what other silly things where it seemed people were taking advantage of you six being so busy. And wealthy. You’ve all got some really stupid things going on where you’re being taken advantage of. Ms. Bee helped me with your list, Locke, and once the word got out that I was looking into things, people started stopping me on the streets to let me know that you guys couldn’t live without the services that they’re doing for you.”

“I had no idea.” She nodded and handed him a list and then his brothers a list as well. “This is what I pay people for steaming suits that I haven’t worn, but maybe once a year? Christ. Five hundred bucks a month is more than it cost me to go and pick up my suits that I’d drop off.”

“It would…I know that I’m new to his family, but you guys are being taken advantage of big time. Yours, Locke is more than ten grand a month.
