She listened to him quietly, having shifted from his kind and warm self to a cold businessman. Of course, she understood his position but there was only so much she could do. Her Father barely broke even from the place, she'd find a way to convince him somehow though. "Right, see you later then." She murmured and slowly stood up, brushing a bit of the Carolina clay from her thighs and walked up towards the house. Upon walking in she noticed her Dad's stuff, he was home. With a nod she headed upstairs to get a shower and get changed. She slid on a form-fitting pair of jeans, tanktop, and as always her worn leather boots.

"Chloe? That you?" She heard the familiar gruff voice call from down the stairs and like the Daddy's girl she was, she bolt down the brief descent and tackled her Father with a hug. He smiled and gave her a tight hug in return before setting her down. "What's this I hear about you and some guy last night? A new fighter?" Chloe blushed but tried not to let on to anything. "Yeah, he's real great Daddy. I need to talk to you 'bout that anyways. He's wanting to stay, but he's wanting some money...aside from room and board..."

Lenny paused, rubbing his chin for a moment and nodded. "Understandable. Shouldn't be a problem, just sold off that 100 acre lot, gonna invest a good bit of it into the lounge get it up to speed." Chloe nodded lightly as her Father continued. "I'll give him $125 per night, plus room, board, and a bonus at the end of every month." He said calmly before turning back to her. "Also, got you this." He said with a smile, digging in his wallet and pulling out a credit card. "Things are gonna change round here. Got another avenue of income now, aside from that old joint. You go out and shop till you drop or whatever they call it." He said with a smile and ruffled up her still wet blonde curls before heading out.

Chloe was curious about this new business of her Father's but she never asked questions, they'd come into good money before when he'd first opened up the lounge, but he ran into trouble. She never understood just what sort of trouble, but at least now she could turn to Brandon...and since he was getting the money he wanted, it shouldn't have been too much of a hassle.

It was a comfort to know that things were changing, for the better hopefully, and with that happy thought in mind she poured a glass of water and sat down at the small kitchen table, grabbing a small pad of paper and a pen before beginning to write.

'Brandon,

Dad gave the go ahead since his new business venture has panned out alright. $125/night + room + board + monthly bonus. Hope this is alright for you.

- Chloe'

Having written out the note she decided to head into town for awhile and put that new credit card to use.
