Build-n-Share Challenge #143-144 • Icy Hot
You are just returning from your lunch break, the fried onion rings from Hogan’s sitting uneasily in your stomach. (“Next time I’ll get the autumn salad!” you think.) Rose, standing at the open door to your office, is uncharacteristically chatting up your 2 o’clock appointment, whom you can’t yet quite see. Rose’s face is flushed, and—is she fluttering her eyelashes?
“Rose! Is Mr. Jökulsson here then?” you say loudly. Rose, taken aback, replies, “I was just offering him something to drink.”
“Great! Would you kindly bring me a glass of my Gerolsteiner water with whatever Mr. Jökulsson wants?”
As you enter your office, you can see what has Rose all hot and bothered. Waiting to shake your hand is an exceptionally handsome man with a full head of white blond hair and neatly trimmed beard wearing an impeccably tailored light gray suit. But what you really find startling are his icy blue eyes, which seem to pierce right through you. The warm smile on his lips brings you back to the matter at hand.
“Mr. Jökulsson, it is so nice to meet you! I do believe you are our first Icelandic client. What brings you here to Sunset Valley?”
“Please call me Finn,” he says in perfect English.
You have, for once, read the client dossier before his arrival. You know that Finnur Jökulsson is the owner/CEO of Jarðhiti Fyrirtæki or Geothermal Company and is here to set up a geothermal plant in Sunset Valley.
“I will be here for a least five years,” he explains, “and I need a house to live in as well as entertain business associates.”
Just then, Rose enters with the drinks. Basking in Mr. Jökulsson’s warm smile, she asks “Is there anything else I can get you?”
“That will be all, Rose!” you say kindly but insistently.
“So, Mr. uh, Finn, can you tell me what sort of house you’d like?”
He hands you a thick notebook full of blue prints, fabric and paint swatches. Laughing, he says, “In my business, you have to be detailed! I think you can see I have thought about this a lot.”
“You seem to have an ultra modern sensibility,” you remark as you page through the notebook. “Do you want an all white interior?”
“No, no! I love natural wood as well as the clean look of white. And here are some accent colors I like.” He shows you some color swatches in the notebook.

You continue the discussion, although his notebook seems to have in it everything he wants (and in more detail than any client you’ve ever had!). When you finally get around to the sensitive subject of budget, he becomes unusually sheepish. “I’m afraid I can only spend §250,000 on the house. I hope you can make that work.”
As you pull your eyes back into your head, you say, “Yes, I’m sure I can make it work. I think I have the perfect lot for you, too.” You step out of your office to say to Rose, “Will you show Mr. Jökulsson out? Oh, and would you kindly answer any questions he might have about Sunset Valley?” Before the words have left your lips, Rose is in the office helping him to the door.
