Grace
I can't believe the arguments Kate and Elliott keep having over such stupid things even Enid has made comments over it.
Enid
One of the arguments was over how Ethan treated Christine and Stephanie when they arrived for the family dinners. For some reason they rubbed each other the wrong way at the reception of Mia and Graham's wedding. I still can't believe he brought Leila Williams to that wedding. Christine was working her butt off and Leila made some snide comments about her attire and everything blew up from there. Ethan defended Leila and Christine just avoided them from that point on. But Leila just couldn't let it go and cornered Mia and Graham about Christine and insisted she be fired. Graham told Ethan and Leila to leave if they can't be polite to the new manager if Mia's restaurant and catering company. They decided to stay and tried every way imaginable to get Christine fired. She finally had security escort them out at Graham and Mia's request if they continued to harass her. They were trying to spoil the reception for Mia is what it boiled down to. You hear a lot at the beauty salons. Leila was laughing about it and was showing videos, I grabbed her phone and sent the videos to my phone. I told her I was going make sure we posted them on Kavanagh Media and showed Leila for the bitch she truly was. Unfortunately at the time I had no idea Christine was hiding from an abusive ex. When I found out I had all them deleted. Now Ethan is not very well received by Christine because he was in on all the nonsense pulled by Leila. Leila is not welcome at the Grey's, Steeles, or the Jameson family.
Christine
I have three CPO's and so does Stephanie after the video was posted on line. A friend of mine told me she heard that Sherman saw the videos and found out where it was at and threatened to find me again. It was all because of Ethan and his slut. So since then Ethan is in my list of people to avoid at all cost. His mother had no idea her posting them could cause a lot of issues. I found out later that they had already been posted by Leila before Enid posted them. Her and her friends apparently got great joy in making people feel inferior to them. If I were them I might remember I am living on my wealthy mom and dad and that could stop at any time. And it did, just recently she applied for a job while I wasn't at work that day. Stephan brought the application to my attention. He remembered how badly she treated me every chance she could at the reception, I told him to hire her as a dishwasher. Minimum wage and see her insult anyone about their attire again. I knew she wouldn't take the job. But it was the only job available. Mia called me about Leila and I told her that we only had dishwasher positions available at this point.
Mia
You don't have to hire her at all, they think that because I own the place they can be hired and sit around and collect a paycheck. So if you hire them I will not mind if you make it clear that they are not going to be treated any differently than any other worker. So any of my friends who apply their are to be treated as they don't know me or my family.
Christine
Sounds good I know exactly who to put in charge of Leila. Dana Stewart she is one tough cookie and works rings around these young kids. She used to be in the military. Ray has met her when he was in service so he gave her a good recommendation and we hired her immediately. He never gives those out.
Mia
I think I heard that when she was hired. Too bad she doesn't like being in management she would be excellent.
Ethan
I really screwed up participating in Leila's antics against Christine at the wedding reception. My mom is pretty mad at me. Dad has very little to do with us these days, but that's not new and his latest flame is a lot of people's flames. Who knows they probably know that they don't mean squat to one another. Dad still works at Kavanagh Media, but he is a salaried employee and really could be easily replaced, but mom has a heart and keeps him on for now. As far as I am concerned she is and was far too generous in her divorce.
Leila
I applied for a job at Mia's restaurant and catering. I am sure she will put me in management. I was called by Dana Stewart asking me to come in for an interview. I can't wait to work there, my parents saw the stupid videos and the said I was out of line and a spoiled rich girl, so they cut up all my credit cards and closed all my accounts except my phone and they gave me a burner phone and took my iPhone away from me. I was allowed my iPad to send resumes out on, they were covering my health, life and car insurance until I can handle them. I have to move out as soon as I can afford a place. All utilities will be my responsibility when I find a place to live. So I have to figure out how much I need for an apartment of my own. My burner phone needed reloaded within days so I had to pay for that.
The next day I ask for Dana and see Christine sitting taking a catering order and she fails to notice I am here. Dana arrives and we go to her office and she looks over my resume and asks me if I can was dishes with nails like mine? I ask why would I be washing dishes at all?
Dana
Well that is the only job opening we have available here at this time, what job did you have in mind?
Leila
Manager of course, I am sure if you call Mia she surely can clear this up and will create a position for me like she did for Christine.
Dana
Christine has experience in that field you have no job experience and your education and grades really we have nothing other than a dishwasher position for you. Clearly we are not going to be able to create a job for you. So I don't want to waste your time any longer about washing dishes. Your hands don't look like you have ever did any manual labor of any type. I will escort you out.
Leila
I see Christine still working on something with a new young couple. Dana walks me to the door and wishes me good luck.
