My name's Danielle Grant. I am 25 years old and I work as a party planner. I looked forward to help my wealthy best friend Pamela Stuart plan her big birthday party which was in two days. It's her first big party after splitting from her medical doctor husband Stephen. What had happened was her husband had not only cheated on her with a close relative, but he also had lost his practice as a result of a lawsuit. Pamela managed to clean him out in divorce court, especially since there was no prenup.
Once I had arrived at Pamela's palace-like manison, she greeted me at the front door. Her auburn hair and her lime green sun dress glistened in the bright afternoon sun.
"Danielle, I'm so glad you can make it. I'm really looking forward to making my party the talk of the town." Pamela said as she greeted me with a hug. Once we entered the house, we began talking about the theme and food for the party.
We walked into the spacious kitchen and sat down. I opened up my briefcase and went through the information I received from her. Pamela wanted a Italian masquerade theme for her birthday party. She then showed me the invitations she got from the printers. The invitations had a big masquerade mask in the front. They were very beautiful. As we discussed the party plans, a tall, handsome man with dark blonde hair brought us some lemonade to drink.
"So who's the hunk of a man bringing us drinks?" I asked Pamela.
"That's Jean-Marc. Our French male servant. He's been working for me and Stephen for 6 years." Pamela said to me.
"I'm sure he does very well." I said.
Then, Pamela talked to me about the food she wanted to serve at her party. She even wanted a dessert bar served there. Her phone rang and Pamela had to take a business call so she went into her home office. I sipped my lemonade as I waited for her. While I waited, I made some quick business calls. After 20 minutes, I got a little impatient. I finished my lemonade as I organized my papers. Jean-Marc walked into the room and poured more lemonade into my glass.
"I'm just waiting on her to finish her call." I said to Jean-Marc.
