Someone Always Knows (2016)
“I found a pleasant surprise when I arrived at my office in the morning: my young friend Michelle Curley.
“Hey, how’s it going?” I asked, dumping files, briefcase, and purse on the desk.
“Pretty well.” She reached forward and prevented the vase containing the deep-red rose that weekly appeared on my desk, courtesy of Hy, from toppling onto the floor. (Those roses—that’s a whole other story.) When we were settled, she added, “I need to ask you a business—or maybe it’s a legal—question.”
... “I’m not an expert in either of those areas. Maybe you should talk to Hank or Anne-Marie.” When I saw her frown, I added, “They probably wouldn’t charge you.”
Michelle had passed on going to college and started her own firm, Natural Habitat Associates. So far as I knew, the only associates were her little brother, Sean, and whoever her current boyfriend might be. But I had great hopes for the fledgling company: Chelle—as she preferred to be called—had been buying, rehabilitating, and profitably reselling dilapidated houses since she was eighteen, aided by her parents, who cosigned loans and helped out whenever they could.MoreLess
