Though he hadn’t slept all that well he felt refreshed, ready for what today would bring. Lucy wasn’t next to him; she was an early bird no matter what the situation was and she often woke before him and made her way downstairs. For her, that time in the morning, where there were no distractions, was a great time to catch up on work. The finance world never sleeps, Sausage, she would say, best deals are found at the weekend. He still didn’t fully understand what she did. It involved buying stuff from company A and selling it to company B or C or even D sometimes. There could be times when what she bought lost value, then it would be stored and sold when the profit margin reached a higher level. There were all sorts of financial technicalities and big words involved (one of his favourites was Bottom Feeder. Though Lucy didn’t class herself as one it sure seemed that that was the one sure fire way to make money) though what it boiled down to, or what his simple mind boiled it down to, was buy cheap, sell high.
