Ruby (25 page)

“
I know. I can’t think…he
said that he wanted no fuss and that I was to use it for just what
he said. Do you know what he wanted me to do with it?” Josh shook
his head. “I’m to pay you back for this building and all that you
put in it, set up a college fund for some of the younger men and
women who want to go on to make something of themselves, and keep
this place running for the next hundred years. Christ, Josh, I have
no idea how to do that.”

“
I’ll help you.” He looked
at the check again. “And with nineteen billion dollars, I think you
can do a very nice job of keeping it up too.”

Yes, Josh thought, it was going to be
perfect. And after he spoke to Ruby, he was pretty sure that they
could make it go for a bit longer too. He had already donated the
building to the foundation, but was willing to give more. He also
knew that the other family members had made large donations of cash
as well. Dwight would have to hire someone, or a group of someones,
to help him out. He was going to need it.

Josh went to find Ruby to tell her.
Then, a few days after the funeral, they were going to get on their
plane and start their honeymoon. The wedding was being planned, but
he didn’t want to wait. It was time they had some fun. And what
better way than to see the world? Josh Ewing was going to make his
wife scream a lot while they were gone.
