“Sounds like a plan. I’ll see you at the party.” She smiled and winked. As Sam left, she settled back into her seat and finished her meal.

“I didn’t invite her here. I didn’t. I don’t know who put her name in. She earned it; Elenore wouldn’t have sent the invite if she didn’t believe in the person. But I heard what she was doing.” He had leaned slightly into George. The two looked awkward. They had never embraced in such a way before. “Renee, though... I didn’t know, not until last night. I had lost touch with her mother. I didn’t even know about Renee.” He started to sob.

The staff’s attention, especially Felix's, was on Richard. Juliane’s attention flickered, but she focused back on Rhi and Ralph. Felix went over to Richard’s side, kneeling and checking him over slightly. He was by no means a doctor, but he had been around as the family aged over the years and knew enough to keep an eye on.

“He never hired Aurélia or me personally. No one else here was hired like us. Everyone else is full-time regular staff, except for maybe Aziza, the sous chef. But Lawrence recognized our photos from our profiles. I think that even though it seems to be an accident that [i]someone[/i] knew. I don’t know who, though.”

Juliane smiled as Sam joined them. “Here, I’ll take the dishes.” She held out her hands for the dirty dishes. Ralph had finished his meal too and held it up to see if Juliane wanted it too. She nodded, taking it. 

[color=dae8c1] “Do you have any guesses for who might have the website other than Lawrence?”[/color] This weird hiring accident sounded... strange. Who would [i] accidentally[/i] hire an escort for a maid? That website would have to be very misleading for someone to do that. He frowned as he tried to figure it out. He had met almost everyone of the La Lunes, and he thought he had met all of the staff, but apparently not. Was the staff a danger? Maybe someone was a paid assassin? 

Juliane shrugged. “Sorry. I don’t.” She took the dishes, joining them with the others that the other staff had been gathering up. “I should start working again. I suppose good luck. I’m a little freaked out, and Aurélia is very freaked out. She doesn’t even want to leave the kitchen.”
