“Will that do, Jamal?” Ben asks. “Yes sir, Ben. I have great news. Sheila is pregnant”.
“That is great news. How far along is she?” Ben asks “Three months, we were not going to tell anybody until after the first trimester” Jamal tells him.
“That apartment is way to small for children. Would you and Sheila ever think about moving to my compound? Ask Sheila, we can get construction started on the house and have it up before the baby comes” Ben says.
“That is too generous of you Ben, I will asks Sheila when I get home tonight. I will let you know in the morning” Jamal says.
Ben drops Jamal off at the guard station and tells him he will see him in the morning.
The next day Ben and Becky meet Maize and her girls and he hires her also. She is to arrive the next day at 7 am with her girls.
Ben introduces Maize and Hazel. Ben shows Maize around the mansion and she is astonished at how big it is. Maize and Hazel come up with a plan on cleaning the rooms and changing sheets, towels and the rest. They both come up to Ben and asks him, “Ben, you are planning on adding on 100 more bedrooms?”. “Actually it is 200 new bedrooms, why do you asks”.
“Well Ben, that is a lot for two maids and eleven teenage girls to handle. Is it possible to hire another maid or two?” they asks. “Do you know of anybody that is looking for work?”
“Ben, my sister is looking for work. She is a single parent with four girls. Her name is Niaomi, she is 30. Her daughter’s are 15 and 12 two sets of twins” Maize says. “What happened to the father if you don’t mind me asking?” Becky asks. “He is in jail”.
“Do you have her information, I need to do a background check on her and check out her husband?” Ben says. “They were never married and yes I will write it down for you”.
“I know of a couple of younger maids, both very competent that are looking for work. There names are Jozenia and Flora. They are twenty-one, I will give you their information.
Maize and Hazel take inventory of the cleaning supplies and what is needed, they come back and talk to Becky. “Becky, we need to get some more vacuum cleaners and some cleaning supplies. We could use one on each floor if that is not too much to ask” Maize tells her. “So how many are we looking at about fifteen, would that do? Make me a list of stuff you need and we will go out and get it for you”. They go and make a huge list of stuff and Becky looks at it and sees that it is acceptable and goes and gets Ben, who is of course in the middle of fucking Vanessa. Once he is done. She tells him we need to go get supplies for the maids. Ben tells her OK, see if Dominic needs anything. She does and gets another list from him.
Ben and Becky head to Costco and stock up on cleaning supplies there. They head to Walmart and buy five vacuum cleaners laundry baskets and the other supplies the maids needed, and then go to Target and buy five vacuum cleaners there, finally they head to Khol’s and buys five there. When they are done they are hungry and go to Antonio’s for a late lunch.
At lunch they ask Antonio “So when are you going to move in with Viki? She is looking forward to you moving in and being with her. You do love her don’t you?” Ben asks.
“I was giving everybody a chance to get settled before I moved in. How does October 1, sound to you two?” Antonio asks. “That sounds good to me” Becky says.
They eat lunch and discuss what is coming up in the household. Becky tells Ben that the everybody thinks he should bless everyone’s bedroom by sleeping in their bed one night. Ben likes that idea. Ben tells Becky that he has yet to train Kaley, Kasey, and Katey he also needs to train Becca’s best friends. They need to get back with their stuff for the maids. They leave and say goodbye to Antonio.
Ben calls his investigator and gives him the names of Hazel and Maize’s recommendations and asks him to do a thoroughly investigate them to birth and tells him the time frame is thirty days. The investigator tells him he will get an person on each case.
They arrive at the mansion and Maize meets them at the front door and she call Hazel they unload the vacuum cleaners and supplies. Hazel and Maize both tell Ben and Becky thank you. Ben and Becky then go into the living room and see Alexandra, Rosanna and Roxanne. They are there waiting for them.
“Master, I have been working all summer on a curriculum for the girls so that they can pass high school. I have ordered the books and materials and they are on the way. The school should be up and running next week. I have a list here of the girls that are going to be home schooled is it correct?” Alexandra ask.
Ben looks over the list, it reads “Becky, Laurie, Brooklyn, Renee, Rachel, Sarah, Sam, Jennifer (can be tested out), Alex, Carly, Elfie, Faith, Hope, Charity, Cloe, Jill, Peggy, Jenny, Jess, Cynthia, Candy, Alileen, Alexis, Cam, Calla, Emma, Ava, Nadine, Julia, Jolene, Josie, Janice, Claire, Clairice, Grace, Kelli, Reba, Joy, Jennifer, Jane, Kelly, Brook, Evelyn, Katey” Ben tells Alexandra “You need to include Maize and Hazel’s daughter’s. What else do you need?”
“They can all use a new computer, as well as us teachers. We were hoping to keep the students school work up on a couple of sky drives. We have broken the classes down to age levels 10-11; 12-13; 14-15; 16-17. We will individualize the classes, when needed, and get everybody ready for college” Alexandra says
“So I need to get 57 laptops loaded with what Microsoft Office?” Ben asks. “Just get the laptops we can use OpenOffice, it is Office compatible and it is free. No reason to pay for something you can get for free” Suzy says. “I think we should eventually get a server and put everything on that, we can wait for that until we get into the new school”.
“Ladies, get whatever materials you need to educate your sisters. Their education is very important to me. They need to excel in college and we need to prove that they are getting a proper education in case somebody gets nosy about our lifestyle” Ben tells them. The teacher go off to their rooms and continue their planning. “Are you ready to go back to school, Becky?” Ben asks her. “I guess, I never really missed it when I was with you. I was thinking about doing something with businessaccounting. What do you think of that?” Becky asks. “I think that would be a great major in college. Very useful for the family and business” Ben tells her.
Ben goes and orders sixty laptops from HP fully-loaded of course. He orders 60 HP Pavilion dv6tqe series laptop with Intel i7-3820QM 2.7 Ghz, 8MB L3 Cache processor with 16 GB of memory and a 15.6” Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit Display with Windows 7 Operating System.

He orders Wireless Keyboard and mouse with Netgear Wireless Range Extender and Dr. Dre Solo HD Headphones. The total for all this is $232,920 list. He calls HP and talks to the sales manager and negotiates a fifteen percent discount. The manager tells him he will give him 12 month financing same as cash. Ben negotiates another 10k if he pays for it in full. The manager agrees and Ben puts $187,982 on his credit card. He asks the manager if he can get it in a week. The manager tells him he will see and call him back. Ben then goes and tells Becky he has gotten all the ladies a new HP laptop, and he is trying to get them in a week. The manager calls back and say it will be two weeks to his door. Ben says OK.
