Julie woke up in the middle of the night to relieve herself and found only Phoebe and Anna still in bed with her. She smiled lovingly at the two sleeping beauties, and briefly wondered how she could now tell them apart easily, when just yesterday morning they had to wear their necklaces for her to tell them apart.
After using the bathroom, she wandered back down to the living room looking for her missing lovers. She was nude, and again wondered at all the changes these wonderful young people had made in her. Before Peter had joined her in the shower, she never would have walked around the house nude when she knew others were home.
She found Peter and Bianca in the living room frantically typing away on their computers. "Hey, don't you two sleep?"
"Eh? Oh, sorry love, we kinda got distracted last night, and there were things that needed to be done. We're taking care of them now, and should be back in bed before you wake up in the morning," Peter said tiredly.
"It must be really important, so I won't nag you about working so late, but please don't let it become a habit. We miss you when you're not there with us," Julie said lovingly.
Bianca smiled tenderly at her mother turned lover. "We won't sweetheart. In fact, we wouldn't even be here now if it didn't involve a couple hundred million. Not to mention that advertising fuck-up that bigoted idiot made."
Julie smiled and kissed Bianca softly on the lips. "Well, I'd offer to help, but I don't know shit about business."
"No, but you do know human nature. There is something you can help us with; it shouldn't take more than a few minutes?" Peter asked.
Julie laughed. "Okay Mr. Workaholic, what would you like me to do?"
Peter looked over at Bianca, and she typed a few commands into her computer quickly, and the big TV behind her flashed to life, but the screen remained blank. "Because of the biased views of an advertising agent, the wrong set of ads were played on all the major networks for the public to see. We didn't approve of those ads, but they played, nationally, for four and a half hours. What we need to know is, how will the public react to the ads? Will we take a beating because of them, or will we still get our message out to those that need to hear it?"
"Okay, let's see the ads that played first. That way, I don't get biased by the ones you wanted to run," Julie suggested, and Bianca nodded.
Julie watched a series of six different ads, all targeted to different age groups, and meant to play on different channels at different times of the day. There was a short pause, and then six more commercials ran, these were the ones that Peter and the girls had approved of.
When they had finished, she thought about what she'd just watched before giving the expectant looking couple an answer. "I've a lot of thoughts on those, most of which you've probably already hit on, since I can see why you rejected them. However, I think this might actually work to your advantage, especially if the story about how you got the person responsible for those biased ads fired. The ads will get the attention of the public. In fact, you should probably alert your security, if you have any, at all the company locations to be ready for heavy protests and possible violent attacks. I think people will treat the company much like it did abortion clinics. Expect bombings, employee attacks, grafitti, and vandalism.
"As for how the ads effect the launching of the company; I think you'll see in initial wave of interest about a third less than you probably expect. However, if you can get different ads out there, and leak the story about the ad people, the long term will far exceed your projections," Julie said.
"How far exceed?" Peter asked.
"Hire a thousand more telemarketers, to handle the call load." Julie grinned. "A lot more people will be swayed by the fact that you corrected the mistake as quickly as you could, and you'll find entire corporations will be showing interest, mostly because you're less expensive than the other insurances, and it will show them as more liberal even if they are the most stodgy, conservative, firm on the planet. I'd bet that you'll pull so much away from the other guys that they will be forced to change their policies in order to compete."
"Are you sure? The forecast I'm looking at is predicting a flop," Peter said.
"Sweetheart, it's the weekend, no one is going to buy insurance on the weekend. I'd say that you'll have a better idea by Tuesday night. It gives people a chance to see the commercials and think about what they saw. They'll do more research on it on Monday." Julie explained. "I know that's what I'd do."
Peter looked thoughtfully at her for a few minutes before rapidly typing on the computer for a bit. As he closed the lid, he smiled at Julie. "That was the last thing I needed to make a decision on." He looked over at Bianca. "I think we need to take this wonderful creature back to bed, and show her how much we love her, and how happy we are that she's with us."
"I don't know how you have the energy for that after the severe pounding you gave all of us last night! I think all I'm good for is some cuddling," Bianca said, yawning as she shut down her computer.
"Sorry Peter, I'm just not used to a cock as big as yours yet. I'm too sore to have sex right now, no matter how much I'd really like to," Julie said smiling sadly at him.
"Sheesh! You two have sex on the brain!" Peter teased. "I meant cuddling and snuggling, not hot monkey lovin'! I thought us men were supposed to be the ones that thought about sex every six seconds?"
