"Well, it would be nice to have guests over," Katie began, a little hesitantly.
"Fine," Chester magnaminously acceded, "they can stay." He'd make sure Katie made up for this later when guests weren't around... and besides, they were potential customers, and one of them reminded him of that cute little secretary in New York. This might not be so annoying.
"Thank you, darling. Yes, Janie, if you wouldn't mind setting the table, and I can get started on on a nice large batch of potato salad to help make sure we have enough for everyone. Nica, if you're staying over, you should go ahead and give Vito a call so he doesn't think you've been abducted by hospitality. And what would you all like to drink? Chester prefers a lovely red wine with supper after a big day." Katie headed for the refrigerator to start fetching ingredients, back to all smiles. "The roast should be coming out shortly, and the pie will be ready just after dinner, I think."
