Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Vermont found Stella’s proposal intriguing. After contemplating, he said, “You’ll need to familiarize yourself with every aspect of The Velvet, from sourcing raw materials to crafting and delivering the final product. It’s crucial to have reliable people in key positions. There is no room for error once you start getting large orders.”

Stella nodded. “Darcie’s assistant arranged for me to visit The Velvet tomorrow to get a feel of the operation.”

“1’11 join you,” Felicity chimed in immediately. “Jaylene must be mad that you got the jewelry store. She’s probably itching to ruin your plans. Take me along. I’ve got your back if they try to give you a hard time.”

Vermont thought for a moment and suggested, “That’s a good idea. We can have a video call before you guys enter the store, and I’ll keep an eye on things through the screen.”

Stella was waiting for Vermont to say that. “As long as The Velvet can be managed smoothly, I’ll add an extra one percent commission for you on these pieces, Mr. Snyder.”

Vermont shrugged. “That’s alright. Thirty percent will do. Your partner and best friend will kick my ass if I ask for more.”

“Thank God, you’re self-aware,” Felicity huffed.

Stella handed the items to Vermont and gave Felicity a stack of unopened skincare and makeup products.
