Chapter 65 - Chapter 64 Play it by ear

"So how do we give Mike the choice? I mean what do we say or how do we propose it to him?"

"In all these 15 years we have never talked or planned what to say." Alexia said as she shook her head at Gracie's jealousy. 

 "Well personally I actually never thought we would find someone we would have to give the choice too." Sarah said before continuing. 

"Don't get me wrong I always hoped, even dreamed we would find someone to be the fifth to help us, but did any of you actually think we would with how stringent our requirements are?" 

 The other girls shook their head because they also never thought they would find someone. 

 "So back to the question, how do we give Mike this choice without giving away more than we are allowed?" Jane asked. 

 "There is no real way to offer him the choice without giving to much away so as much as I hate to say this, I just say we play it by ear, if we determine he is worthy to be given it we will give him the choice and tell him of the pros and cons of it he where to accept." Sarah said. 

 The girls continued to try to think of something for a few more minutes but they could not think of a better idea so in the end when Michael was starting to regain consciousness, they decided to just play it by ear which is something they hated to do. 

 If any of their friends, family or employee's learned that 'The Four Queens' were playing something by ear they would be shocked. 

From all the training they had all received since young and being able to judge people and read the situations they found themselves in, they hated to play things by ear because they liked to be in control of the situation. 

In fact, one of the things that attracted them all to Michael was the fact that in the few situations recently where they did not have control of a situation, such as the Jake Daniels first dance incident. 

Michael seemed to be able to take care of the issue, and indeed he sorted the Jake Daniels problem in a way that they would never have to worry about it again, unlike in the past where their fixes were only temporary. 

Strangely when Michael was around they did not feel uncomfortable like they normally would when not in control. 

If Michael was there, they felt sure he would help sort the issue and they enjoyed this feeling of relying on him. 

It was the first time they had placed their trust in someone other than their sisters in a long time. 

 As Michael came to and opened his eye what greeted him was a sight he had never seen before but one he hoped he would see often in the future. 

 Gracie was smiling down at him, though he could only just see her smile over the two large, beautiful mounds in-front of him. 

 "Welcome back Mike do you like the view?" Gracie asked with a giggle. 

 "I do and would very much enjoy waking up to such views in the future." He replied with a smile causing Gracie's smile to brighten and even a small blush to appear. 

 "Am sure that can be arranged though for now I'm afraid we have important matters to discuss but that does not require you to move so feel free to stay put." Gracie replied before she started to gently run her hand through his hair. 

 Michael enjoyed the feeling and saw no reason to move if Gracie did not want him to, so he stayed put. 

 Seeing this Jane mumbled "sneaky bitch." To which Alexia and Sarah only nodded in agreement. 

 "You had your physical time with Mike so now it's my turn, anyway, let's carry on with the discussion." Gracie answered before continuing. 

 "Mike how do you feel about the way the world is?" 

 "That's a broad topic can you point to a specific area you want me to focus my answer on?" Michael asked back. 

 "Hmm then let's do it in stages first tell us what you think of the world's economy." Gracie said still stroking Michael's hair 

 "From the little I do know of it it's fucked up." Michael replied not holding back on his words. 

"As I said before we are in a situation where the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer.….. no offense" he added as he just remembered he was staying with four of the richest people on the planet. 

 "None taken, please be as direct as you want with your answers." Alexia smiled. 

 Michael smiled thankfully at the girls before continuing. 

"The top one percent only look out for their own interests." 

"Politicians who hold the power in a country's decisions all end up somehow becoming wealthy by the end of their careers, wealthier than what their government pay should allow them and I have ideas on how I think that's possible." 

 "Oh, please enlighten us." Sarah cheekily smiled. 

 Michael gave Sarah a flat stair before saying "I can tell by your smile that you already know exactly what's going on and if I'm right all off you also partake." 

 Sarah's smile disappeared when she realized she may have gone a bit far with her comment. 

 "Outside of briefcases full of money, or bribing officials, I believe the answer to how the politicians and other selected individuals suddenly amass wealth is Insider trading." 

"The rich and powerful secretly share information between themselves about any upcoming changes to a big company so they can buy or sell shares in said company." Michael finished 

 "While insider trading is indeed happening, and we will admit we know of it and have partaken in it, we have our reasons for doing so which we will tell you in the future when the time is right." Jane said before continuing. 

"Also, I will point out in our defense we have never partaken in any bribery or anything like that even though people attempted to force us." 

 Michael looked at the girls and saw that Sarah was still sad from when he admonished her, sighing to himself he raised his head and body off Gracie's lap and leaned over to cup Sarah's face in his hand, he looked into her eyes and said "don't worry about it, I'm not really upset or angry at you. Sorry if my reply upset you, Sarah." 

Michael then kissed her on the lips and smiled at her before resting his head back on Gracie's thy. 

 Sarah at first looked surprised before her face showed a beautiful smile. 

 "Interesting it's rare for Sarah to care what anyone thinks about her, outside the four of us of-course." Alexia said with a smile. 

 "So, Michael back to the topic at hand" Gracie spoke again now that she could once again stroke Michael's hair. 

"The world's current state, as in global warming, countries attempt at going carbon neutral, reports of the ozone layer thinning from CO2."

"Tell us your opinion."

 Michael looked up at Gracie past her ample breasts to see her curious look waiting for his response, as he turned to the other girls he saw the same curious look. 

 "I really have no idea what choice you might be building up to offer me, these questions are seriously deep." Michael said before taking a moment to think about his answer.
