CHAPTER 7

Tiffany and Mrs. Adelman had finished setting up the breakfast bar and cleaning out the rooms that had been checked out when they decided to have a meeting to go over the pending projects.

“So, according to our list, we are right on schedule,” Tiffany said as she looked down at the list the city council had given Mrs. Adelman.

“Are you sure?” Mrs. Adelman said, double-checking and crossing out the things that had been completed.

“Yes, everyone has been working very hard. Trust me, we won’t let you down.”

“I know. I’m just so nervous. What if we cannot raise all the money that is needed? All the repairs won’t matter.”

“We will raise the money, Mrs. Adelman. Please don’t give up hope.”

“Mrs. Adelman?” they heard someone call out from the front door.

“Yes?” they both said as they walked over.

Tiffany’s stomach dropped as soon as she saw Richard standing there. What could he possibly want now?

“Hello Richard, how can I help you?” Mrs. Adelman asked him.

“I am just letting you know I am placing this notice on your front door.”

“What’s it for?”

“You’re not allowed to have any guests because your building isn’t up to code still.”

“You can’t be serious!”

“I’m afraid that I am. It’s much too dangerous for your guests to be staying here in the Inn’s conditions.”

Tiffany stood quietly next to Mrs. Adelman, but she couldn’t take this anymore. They were abusing their power, and it was unfair. The Inn was in excellent condition, and they only had a few more things to take care of. How would they ever pay the fees if they couldn’t have anyone stay at the Inn?

“Richard, we have almost completed all the repairs. There must be something we can do. We can’t close the Inn to our guests. We have a few reservations already made. Can we at least keep those?”

“No. The only thing you can do to save the Inn is to pay your fees and finish the repairs. The sooner you get it done, the better. You know, this might be a good thing. Retirement might be good for you,” Richard said before walking away.

“Are you okay?” Tiffany asked Mrs. Adelman. She had expected Mrs. Adelman to fire back. To put Richard in his place, but she hadn’t, Tiffany feared that meant she might give up.

“No,” Mrs. Adelman said, turning around and going back inside.

She took a seat in the lobby, and Tiffany followed her. She didn’t know what to do. This would set them back, but this only made her want to work harder. They couldn’t let those crooked individuals win.
