CHAPTER 440
Andrew almost fell out of the chair upon hearing the sudden question and instinctively responded, "What the hell do you mean by an elf wife?" Helena closed one of her eyes and stuck out her tongue to show that she was playing, but Andrew still looked at her viciously.
It wasn't that he was really upset with her, it was just that he had to adopt a serious expression or his wives would start bothering him more often and that embarrassed him a little.
Helena was about to explain, when Candice and Carolina entered the office and asked at the same time, "Andrew, who is the new sister?" Andrew this time couldn't stand up and fell off the chair.
Helena couldn't contain herself and laughed out loud, while the two girls who had just entered looked at them confused. Andrew looked at them with annoyance and speaking under his breath he said, "She's not my wife, yet."
Andrew didn't know why he had added the "Yet" at the end, but he didn't feel anything strange and neither did his wives. Helena who had stopped laughing asked, "So who is the girl?"
"Let's wait for Aki and Zany to arrive, it's better to explain when everyone is here," Andrew responded, getting up from the floor and sitting back down in his chair. Minutes later Aki and Zany arrived, who fortunately didn't ask a question like the others.
Aki and Zany are warriors in a way, so they are not as playful as the others, which is why they do not joke with him about Kalifa's arrival at the Cannaris Palace.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Andrew began to explain, "The new girl's name is Kalifa, she is an elf that I had bought to work as a courtesan in the Star Palace some time ago".
Andrew paused and continued explaining, "She is a dedicated girl, but a little distrustful, and well I don't blame her. The point is that Sofia had discovered that she was very good at writing, so I gave her a test." Your next chapter awaits on empire
"She recently finished that test and passed it with a very good score, but she is just like Carolina when she is writing, so I brought her here so that I could keep an eye on her and not harm her health," Andrew concluded.
"So you're going to make her a writer, but isn't that outside of your business environment?" Candice suddenly asked and Andrew smiled as he replied, "Not at all. Maybe you should read her novel to understand it."
While Andrew was waiting for his wives to arrive, he purchased the photocopier he needed from the system, which was unexpectedly expensive and made copies of Kalifa's novel.
This device was different from the photocopiers on Earth. On Earth, these machines have to photocopy sheet by sheet and although there are mechanisms for them to be output continuously, the system's photocopier was more efficient.
The artifact was a one cubic meter box that was divided into 3 sections. In one of them you placed the sheets or book that you wanted to copy, in the other the blank sheets and in the last one would be the copies that were made.
The copying process was extremely fast and the 300 pages of Kalifa's novel were copied in less than a minute. Andrew had already made 10 copies of the novel and handed them to his wives.
Aki and Zany were not very educated and although they knew how to read, it was not something they liked, but they still looked at what Andrew gave them. Unexpectedly, the girls got into the story and read eagerly.
Even the two warriors were immersed in reading and Andrew smiled when he saw this because this means that the novel was a success. They all finished reading after a few hours and their eyes shone like stars looking at the novel.
"This is very good, this is gold," exclaimed Candice, being the most versed in business, she immediately saw the wealth that this novel could bring. She also understood what Andrew meant that it was still in his business circle because the sexual scenes were various and very detailed.
The other girls agreed with Candice and suddenly Helena said, "But, I wanted to see more of Katrina and Elmon's story," to which the girls agreed again.
These are secondary characters in the novel that Andrew thought needed their own story and the ones Kalifa was writing at the moment, so upon hearing this Andrew smiled and said, "Kalifa is already writing a separate novel for them."
The girls' eyes lit up and they started asking questions. Andrew didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic about it and in the end, he had to tell them, "Girls, it's just being written, be patient."
Reluctantly the girls calmed down, but seeing them like this, Andrew had a bad feeling and had to warn them, "Don't you dare go harass Kalifa into writing. She already has enough pressure and if you bother her, the story can turn out badly."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The girls stiffened at Andrew's warning, already thinking about going to pressure Kalifa to write faster. Andrew shook his head and letting out a sigh he spoke again, "Girls, let her write at her own pace. The creative process cannot be accelerated. Also, I need you to keep an eye on her so that she doesn't overdo it."
The girls accepted although they did not like to be left wondering what would happen. Shortly after, Oliver, accompanied by Kalifa, Gastón, Canna, and Erick, entered the office.
Seeing them, Andrew stood up and said, "Well, this is Kalifa, our writer." Everyone greeted her politely and Andrew's wives excitedly dragged her to the couch and began asking her questions.
Gastón and the others did not understand the reason for their enthusiasm, but when Andrew explained to them, they only nodded in understanding. They hadn't read the novel yet so they couldn't relate to Andrew's wives' excitement.
For this reason, he gave them copies to read and asked Oliver to give some copies to Victor so the rest of the staff could read as well. In fact, Andrew made more copies and sent them to all the Heavenly Palaces for his staff to read.
Even the Amazons were intrigued when they read the novel and Andrew knew it would be a huge success. The problem was how to sell them. Unlike his other products, he could not advertise these books in his business.
Although there were many sexual scenes in the book, the main story was one of romance and drama, so it was not suitable. Even Candice's stores were not suitable, as they were fashion, beauty, and food.
It wasn't impossible to do, but Andrew felt that they wouldn't be promoted properly. After stating these facts, everyone present began to think of a solution and Gastón, being the most experienced, suddenly proposed, "Why not seek the help of Mrs. Patricia and her friends?"
Everyone's eyes lit up because it was certainly a good idea. Patricia and her friends are nobles, so they have many businesses and connections that could help them promote the book, so Andrew sends them a carrier pigeon to discuss the matter.
With that things calmed down and the next day Andrew met up with Patricia and her friends at the massage house. Since they are regular customers of that place, they did not raise any suspicions.
They only pretended that they were going to have a massage, but in reality, they were in Andrew's office discussing the theme of the novel. "Long time no see, Mr. Andrew," Patricia said and Andrew responded, "Yes, it's been a while."
After the cordial greetings, Andrew covered the corresponding topic. He told them about the new novel business and although they were not very convinced, they listened carefully.
Andrew knew that he couldn't convince them with words, so he gave them a copy of the novel and asked them to read it. Although they were not very enthusiastic, they still accepted.
Since Andrew couldn't let them take the books without an agreement, he offered them some snacks and drinks, as well as a foot massage, while they enjoyed reading.
Andrew left them alone and they began to read while they enjoyed the massage. Like his wives, these noble women immersed themselves in history and were enchanted.
By the time they finished, they were more than in agreement on this business and then they discussed the issue of production, sale, and distribution of profits. Like last time their husbands stole their achievement with the rejuvenating creams, this time, they didn't say anything to their husbands.
In the end, they decided that Andrew would prepare 100,000 copies and would earn 70%, since he was the one who had the writer and produced the books, so Patricia and her friends spent little or, to be more exact, they were not linked to the creative process that It was the most important thing.
After finishing this arrangement, Andrew returned to the Cannaris Palace and, as tired as he was, went to sleep. His wives did not bother him even though it was too early to sleep, because they knew that he had a lot of stress accumulated with everything that was happening they just let him sleep.
