Julie you have to tell me who made these hors d’oeuvres. The spinach salad is to die for! Tonya exclaimed.

Thank you Tonya. It took me a week to find a caterer I liked, replied Julie happily. She always loved being complimented. Would you like to meet her?

I would love to.

Julie turned to the woman next to her who was talking with Caleb, Lara, I would like you to meet a good friend of mine. This is Tonya; she worked with me on the Newport magazine. Lara, in her chefs uniform, smiled sweetly at Tonya. Tonya, this is Lara Perkins, my amazing caterer for tonights little gala.

Tonya and Lara shook hands.

I just wanted to say that these spinach salad crackers are just astounding, bragged Tonya.

Well thank you, Lara blushed, Theyre one of my specialties.

How long have you been in business?

Only about a month. I used to work in WeHo as a sous-chef at a country club up there. But I quit, I wanted to start my own business and I figured who hosts more parties than those rich people in Newport.

Tonya smiled, Gutsy business move, smart but gutsy.

You know Lara, Tonya works in WeHo, interjected Julie, seeing these two could really hit it off.

Do you? Where? asked Lara.

I manage my fianc, Dana Fairbanks.

Lara almost choked on the champagne she was drinking. She hadnt heard about Dana for almost a year and now Dana has a fianc? And it was this rich pricy *****.

Are you ok? asked Tonya.

Yeah, Lara coughed, I just didnt know Dana Fairbanks was *****.

I know, its shocking, she didnt either until I came around and turned her.

Lara wanted to laugh so hard upon hearing that bullshit. But she decided now wasnt the time to make a scene since no one here seemed to know she was *****. She stifled her laughter by coughing again. Im sorry, my throats been bothering me.

Thats all right. You know, I would love to have you cater for our wedding. Im sure Dana would too.

Um, I would love to. I dont have many clients so I could use the opportunity for some publicity.

Well, catering a ***** wedding would be another gutsy business move. And I can guaranty lots of publicity.
