I panicked. How would I pull this off? If Alex didn’t budge on the building, the only compromise I could think of was, we buy the building and leave Ruby’s untouched. The building was enormous. There was plenty of space inside for the bakery on one end, and the brewpub on the other. It was the only way I could see myself having my cake and eating it too.

There was no doubt Ruby’s was a brilliant addition to the block. With the brewpub to bring music and other food options to the area, maybe they could even afford to stay open later.

I texted Alex again.

Me: Hey, did you run the numbers on a bakery?

Alex: I did. Bakeries don’t make money unless they’re niche.

Me: Niche?

Alex: Yeah. Is it a gluten-free or allergy friendly establishment? That’s where the big money is.

I thought back to all the times Chrissy mentioned the gluten-free fad almost destroying her business.

Me: No. It’s just a regular old bakery. But wedding cakes are niche, right?

Alex: Jeff, no one cares about wedding cakes in 2020. Ten years ago they were all over T.V., but people are over it now.

Damn it, she had a point. Even if she got popular doing wedding cakes, they would need to expand considerably if they planned on retiring.

Me: Well, keep looking in to it. This one means something.

We both knew I meant Chrissy and not the bakery.

Alex: Listen, I’m trying to be open minded here, but I have a lot riding on this. I’m not a big T.V. star like you, remember?

Me: I know. I’m just… working on it. I’m doing my best.

Alex: Well, do better. This building is the one. I met with the owners this morning. Let’s get together Monday and discuss this in person.

That’s right, Alex arrived in Mont Clare this morning.

Great, just great.

Me: It’s not a fling. She’s the real deal.

Alex: They’re all the real deal. Get in her pants and then move on like you do with everyone else. Monday, meet me for breakfast at the Hilton and bring the business plans.
