CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Gwen walked around the old mansion with Matthew, Leightyn, Avery, and Grant. Sheâd seen the man a few times with his wife, Evie, but didnât realize how incredibly handsome he was up close. He was very tall, very fit, and hot!
âGwen? Grant asked you a question,â said Avery.
âSorry,â she blushed, âbut youâre very good-looking. I mean, donât tell Hex I said that or your wife, but itâs almost unnerving.â
âThatâs the nicest thing Iâve heard in a long time,â smiled Grant. âThank you. I was asking if you thought youâd need an elevator put in.â
âOh, I didnât even think about that, but I guess we should to be ADA compliant. I may have someone older or disabled working for me that needs to get upstairs. Weâll do all the fitting rooms downstairs.â
âAnd we want to keep the kitchen?â asked Grant.
âYes, but it doesnât have to be that large. I just want a space to have lunch or breakfast with the team, heat up coffee, and things like that. We may occasionally offer food or drink to the clients, but just a large commercial refrigerator and a few microwaves should be fine for that.
âIâd rather put in a few extra bathrooms in that space and definitely some storage rooms.â She opened her sketchbook to a colorful page, the one sheâd been working on when Hex dripped all over it. âI need a room with spindles on it to hold hundreds of colors of thread. On the other walls, I need racks to hold fabric. It will look almost like a piece of artwork.â
âYou know,â said Grant, âI was reading about Athabaskan culture, and I know that you use hides in your work in Alaska. Would you want a tanning room?â
âOh, I never even thought about that,â she said, frowning. âI donât know. Iâm not sure how women feel about that in the lower forty-eight. I always tried to stay away from animal skins unless it was requested. I wonât lie, though; it makes my heart happy to think about working with that again.â
âI tell you what, weâll put a room in where you can keep natural hides and skins. It will be a special request room only,â said Grant. âSecurity will be top line, developed by the boys at RP. Weâll have cameras, alarms, everything. Weâre going to raise the whole building by five feet to make sure flooding doesnât occur.â
âCan you do that? I mean, obviously, you can, but wonât the building fall?â she asked. Grant and Matthew smiled, shaking their heads.
âThis old house is pretty sturdy,â smiled Matthew. âWeâre going to make it sturdier and safer for you and your staff. Irene has arranged for some women to come and interview as seamstresses.â
âWow, you guys really move fast around here, donât you?â smiled Gwen.
âHey, guys, come and look at this,â called Avery.
They followed the sound of her voice into the room that had once been a parlor. She pressed on a hidden doorway that opened into a beautiful room. The wood, although dusty, seemed to glow beneath the dust.
