Chapter 17: Grace and the palace
I urgently needed to contact Grace, as I wanted to use her house and pool as background for Astrid's video show with Linda, modeling Astrid's lingerie and sleepwear line. I called her Monday morning bright and early.
"Hello Grace, can I disturb you?"
"Oh hi, yes no problem, what's up?"
"I have a big favor to ask."
"Wow, now you're making me curious."
"You see I need to shoot a video with Linda, a fashion model I'm sponsoring who's working for Astrid, showing a bunch of lingerie and sleepwear stuff and I'm looking for a setting, and I was thinking that your place would be an absolute dream location for this, especially your pool area, but maybe also some of your inside rooms."
"Wow again, that is heavy, you're taking me by surprise."
"If you don't like the idea, don't worry I'll find somewhere else to do this; I don't want to inconvenience you in any way."
"No, no, it's not that, it's just the idea that completely surprised me and why you thought of my place."
"You do have a fantastic place, it oozes richness and also a bit of sex, very suitable to present sexy underwear or lingerie as Astrid prefers to refer to it. But again don't feel in any way obliged to accept."
"No, in fact, I'm honored that you thought of my place, but I may have something even better for you. For the moment I have this palatial home for sale in my portfolio and we could kill two birds with one stone. You need a place for your video, I need some good pictures of this place I am trying to sell at a huge price, so let's make a deal: while you do your video thing you can also take some nice photos, for me...for free?"
"You sly little conniving woman, taking advantage of a poor lonesome man begging for a small favor. OK, I'll take it! You've got a deal, but I need to see the place first before I can agree of course."
"You won't be disappointed, it's absolutely fabulous; it's also fully furnished, and aside from the outdoor and indoor pool, you will have plenty of rooms to choose from for your sleepwear videos. One thing though it has to be next weekend or the one after because I only have the sales option for one month and I need weekends for viewings with potential buyers. After that, if it's not sold I might lose the deal to another realtor."
"When can I see it; is early evening a possibility?"
"Yes, that's OK, maybe you could take the pictures for me then, please?"
"How can I resist you when you ask so nicely? Text me the address and the time you expect me."
"Is six OK for you?"
"Six is perfect, I'll still have enough light to take the outside pictures, I'll bring some extra lights for indoors, see you then. Cheers for now and thanks!"
"You're welcome, always like to help a friend."
So that evening I packed my gear with some extra floodlights I might need for indoor pictures and set out to the address Grace had texted. Arriving there it was impressive and really palatial as Grace had mentioned. There was a big entry gate behind which I saw a path lined with nice oak trees, but no residence in view, it must be somewhere in the back, unable to be seen from the street.
I pushed the button on the pole that was 6 meters (20ft) before the gate and was immediately connected by video, to the house I guessed, Grace was on the screen.
"Ah you've arrived, let me buzz you in."
I heard a buzzing sound and the gates slowly swung open, allowing me to drive through. Once in, they quickly closed again, probably to keep the riffraff out. The driveway meandered through a wooded area, with the occasional view over an immaculate lawn, golf club grade. Finally, I saw the house, Grace had certainly not exaggerated: palace was the more appropriate word to describe this residence. Grace was at the front door waving at me. I parked, stepped out of the car, and walked towards her.
