CHAPTER 412
The next morning Andrew woke up a little tired, but he couldn't stay in bed all day, however, he couldn't get up, as all his wives had curled up on his chest and arms, so he couldn't move.
He looked at his wives as if trying to see if they would wake up soon, but the girls seemed fast asleep. Although their performance was good, Andrew knew them too well to know that they were just pretending.
"So, don't you intend to wake up today?" Andrew asked with a bit of mockery, showing them that he had discovered them. Helena was the first to react and looking up and with a smile, she said, "Let's just stay a little longer. We haven't seen you in a long time."
Andrew let out a sigh of resignation, but he still said, "Well, I promise to stay, but let me move my arms, I can barely feel them anymore." With his comment, the melodious laughter of his other wives could be heard.
The girls, still laughing, raised their heads so that Andrew could move his arms, but as if fearing that he would trick them and get up, they clung to his body.
The only one not participating in this comical display of love was Zany, since she had been with Andrew all this time, so she didn't need so much attention from her husband right now.
In fact, she was one of the first to wake up, but when she was going to get up, she was stopped by Helena and convinced to participate in this small act. She didn't care, because even if she got up, she couldn't do anything.
She had arrived at this place yesterday and she only knew the office and this room. She also didn't know anyone besides those in this room and Oliver, so there was no reason to get up, so she cooperated with her sisters to stay in bed.
Furthermore, she seemed unable to oppose Helena, because every time she saw her, she remembered everything she did to her the night before and that embarrassed her because the image of her lascivious expression and the shameless acts that she did, could not be erased.
Helena was aware of that because Zany's face blushing like a tomato was hard to ignore, but, even so, she wasn't going to take advantage of it. Helena and the other girls might be many things in bed, but outside of it, they were all her sisters, so she wouldn't bully her new sister.
Now that his arms had been freed, Andrew remained on the bed chatting with his wives. They told him everything they had done during the time he was away.
Since Zany had already told them almost everything interesting about his trip, Andrew just listened. Candice told him how she had expanded into the kingdom of Dunnas with Victoria's help.
Apparently, she had doubled her earnings in that country and was on her way to opening a fashion store and a beauty store like the ones in the capital of the Cannaris empire.
While she explained this to him, Andrew nodded in agreement, since the kingdom of Dunnas was a much larger market for these products than the empire of Cannaris, since the wealthy and nobles of this country were women and the best clients for beauty and fashion, are obviously women.
In fact, Andrew thought that Candice's food business would be very successful since the kingdom of Dunnas is a desert country and these resources should be scarce, but Andrew was wrong.
While it is true that the kingdom of Dunnas is mostly desert, it also has one of the largest and wealthiest rivers on the continent. Thanks to this river, many oases have been created and in this way, agriculture has prospered very efficiently.
He assumed that because of the conditions they have adapted and that is why food is not scarce. Andrew thought it would be something similar to ancient Egypt, but that's off-topic.
Turning to the two new stores Andrew encouraged Candice to continue. He had a little reservation about the beauty store, but when he found out that Carolina's production of products like rejuvenating cream had increased, he stopped worrying.
Although Andrew was no longer worried about the products, he was now worried about Carolina. He knew how her ability worked, so, if she had managed to increase production, that meant that she was irresponsible in her time in her laboratory.
Carolina, who noticed Andrew's gaze, immediately defended herself, "I didn't overdo it. Helena kept an eye on me and made me rest." Carolina's words made all the other girls laugh.
"It's true, love. I had my eye on her, so don't worry," Helena said after laughing for a while. Andrew sighed in relief, as he knew that Carolina could be troublesome when she dived into investigating.
After that, Helena informed him how business had been going at the Cannaris Palace. Although this was in charge of Victor, Helena, who managed the staff, worked closely with him and had learned a lot about business.
She also informed him that the massage house that was given to Mia and Rana had worked without any problems and that it was becoming more and more popular among the nobles.
She even told him that some nobles used it for special services. Apparently, it is quite normal for nobles to neglect their wives and they sought to relieve their needs elsewhere and the massage house was the best place to do so without arousing suspicion.
Additionally, he was notified that massage houses had begun to proliferate near the area where theirs was located as if trying to take advantage of their clients.
This worried Andrew a little. It turns out that his massage house became so popular that the lines and waiting times were long, so, many clients got tired of waiting and preferred to go to other massage houses even though the service was not as pleasant.
So, nearby massage houses benefited from these impatient customers and many noticing this, started establishing massage houses nearby, taking advantage of this scenario.
Andrew fell into deep thought upon hearing this and after a few seconds he said, "Why don't we limit the business?", to which Candice being the merchant of the group asked, "How?"
"Well, we can change our business model. Instead of continuing as we are at the expense of customers leaving, it is better to limit our clientele and make it more exclusive," Andrew said.
Candice was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Gaston had proposed something similar a while ago when this started happening," to which Andrew expressed surprise, "Really? "What did he say?"
"Well, he proposed that we limit ourselves to serving nobles and the wealthy only. This way we could increase prices and make up for the loss, but we would have more availability and it would give the impression of being more exclusive, which would attract high-end customers," Candice explained.
Andrew nodded with approval, as that was the idea that occurred to him. In fact, he intended to create some additional services to justify the price increase and he explained this to his wives, who were excited because they knew that if there were new services, Andrew would provide them to them and that was a profit for the girls.
You have to know that the massage technique used in that establishment was a rather poor version of the divine massage and Andrew gave massages to his wives occasionally, which they enjoyed, so if there were new services, they would try the improved version, which would be more pleasant.
Andrew had no idea what his wives were thinking, but even if he did, it wouldn't bother him, because they weren't wrong. He didn't mind giving them some nice moments other than sex.
The only one of the girls who did not make a report was Aki since she was not in charge of anything that had to do with business. She had limited herself to training and although she had gotten stronger a little, with Oliver and Castor not being present, she didn't have a good instructor, so the improvement wasn't much.
Still, Andrew didn't leave her out of the conversation and said, "Aki, with Zany here, you can train with her. Zany is very strong, she must be at Castor's level, so training with her will be beneficial for you."
All the girls were surprised by Andrew's words because they did not expect Zany to be so strong. Being at Castor's level at her age was no small feat and that surprised them and stressed them out a little, since now there was a superpower between them.
However, Helena lightened the mood with a single comment, "I hope little sister Zany doesn't get revenge on me for yesterday." Everyone laughed at the comment except for Zany who was just embarrassed.
She wasn't used to this environment, but she still enjoyed it. After chatting for a while, the door to the room opened and Carmen entered in the company of their children.
The little children happily ran to the bed to greet their parents, which enhanced the already happy atmosphere. Zany, who was the only one without children, looked at the little ones with envy, but Helena approached her and said, "Don't be impatient, your turn will come."
She blushed deeply but nodded slightly. Then, Volg, Helena's son, approached her with an innocent smile and asked tenderly, "Mom, who is her sister?", that made everyone fall silent and watch the scene. The other children also looked at Zany with curiosity and Helena, smiling, caressed her son and responded, "She is not a sister. This is mom Zany."
The other girls brought their children closer to Zany and introduced them, then the boys immediately smiled and started hugging Zany with their innocent smiles, making Zany not know how to act.
