The Perfect Blend

Opening a Christian coffeehouse in Seattle—that was my dream. I wanted to call it Maggie Black's Higher Grounds. So when banker William Grey III deniedmy loan, I was crushed. But then Mr. Grey(who's a tea drinker—figures!) explained thatif I took his small-business course, the bankmight reconsider my application. It wouldtake the help of some of my fab coffee, but Iwas sure I could stay awake long enough tolearn something. Besides, despite Grey's stuffyfacade, his velvety British accent could makeeven financial analysis sound interesting.
