INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY
Richard: No...no way. I can't just sell Tanya's home without her permission..
Hilary: Why the hell not? It's not hers technically, you paid for it, so it's yours...
Richard: Even so it doesn't seem right...
Hilary: For godsake this is your livelyhood that's at stake Richard, if you need the money then surely you have to sell it... at the end of the day I'm sure Tanya would be moaning if her inheritance was reduced to a pile of debts...and that will be the case if you dont get in on this deal with Jared...
Richard: But I can't just sell it to anyone, that cottage has sentimental value to this family...
Hilary:When it comes to buisness Richard you can't be fussing about sentimentality...
Michelle: I will buy it off you...
Hilary turns around. Michelle enters the office having overheard the conversation.
Richard: Sorry?
Michelle: The cottage...I'll buy it...
Hilary: No... you don't have to honestly...Im sure we will find a buyer from somewhere
Michelle: I was always intending to buy my own place when I moved down here...plus this way it stays in the family and you will be able to go ahead with this deal thats in the pipeline...
Hilary: Well that sounds fabulous, doesn't it Richard?...
Richard: I'm still not sure...
Hilary: Look if Tanya has any issues she can have them with me okay?
Richard takes a deep breath giving in to the suggestion.
Richard: Ok then, but on your head be it...
Hilary has a delighted look on her face.
