Although we were all dressed to the nines there was in fact no dress code and it was apparent that the place was a huge success. I knew Rachel was hoping to open another place in L.A and was sure when she did it would be a huge success also.

After the meal Peggy took Katie home and we were left to enjoy our selves. Andy seemed to have concluded business when she bought some people over to meet me.

“Bette I would like you to meet some very important people. These are the three agents who will be moving over to work along side me on the East coast. Leigh, Wes and Vito.”

I smiled and greeted each of them in turn, it was important to get to know them I would be hoping for a lot of work to be passed between us. Leigh was great a single twenty something with an impressive understanding of art and a passion to match. She hoped to find a man in L.A, as she had not managed to bag Charlie, who she was apparently besotted with. I think she was only half joking as she said the latter part.

Wes was a young up and comer. Happy to follow his mentor and keep working alongside her. He lacked the polished glamour of the other agents at the gathering but was eager and certainly knew his stuff.  He had, by all accounts done some deals with James since he had moved that would appear at the opening in four weeks. He lacked the glamour but he was immediately likeable and I hoped to work with him, as I did with Leigh.

Vito was another matter. He was Arrogant and standoffish very handsome and he new it. He was dark like Charlie but smaller and with much more severe features. He looked like something from the godfather and I felt unsettled by him. But if Andy trusted him then so would I.

Andy came and sat next to me as we all got acquainted and when Vito went to get more drinks she whispered in my ear.

“I don’t trust him either, I can see it in your face. But I would rather have him where I can keep and eye on him. And the other two are great I promise.”
