Los Angeles was a truly fascinating city. It had a much different flavor to it than New York, where fifty-year-old Howard Maybrick had flown from three days prior. As the owner of one of the largest jewelry companies in the world, he was visiting area to discuss a possible purchase of an expansive African gold mine, a move that would increase his assets twofold. It was a truly spectacular move that he had to make sure took place, especially since it would prove to be such an impressive feather in his cap. However, he was a savvy negotiator, and he had no doubts that his diplomacy and corporate ties would cause the result of this meeting to be nothing less than favorable.
His third night in the City of Angels, he sat in the plush chair of his luxury suite, sipping a glass of brandy on the rocks as he turned the high-definition television set to the local news station that was covering the event. His room was stocked with the finest imported wines and brandies in Los Angeles, the box on his desk full of long and thick cigars, and his closet containing the very suit he planned on wearing to the press conference following the purchase. The official word wouldn’t come for a few days, but what was the harm in celebrating early if he already knew it was practically a done deal? Howard saw no reason why he shouldn’t be allowed to bathe in the glory of corporate success for as long as possible.
His smoldering brown eyes shifted to the phone on his desk, and a wry smile overtook his bearded face. His thoughts went to his suite’s maid, a young woman whom he had instantly been attracted to upon checking into the hotel. He had made advances on her, letting her know if his intentions, a hand grazing her rear or hips when she came to clean his room. She had so far not given into his advances, but he had his ways. He would soon be one of the richest men in the nation, and he had methods to convince her that it would be worth her while to celebrate with him. Reaching over to the phone, he pressed the “Room Service” button and waited, leaning back in his chair as he took another drink of the cool liquor.
