A Grey Dinner

Christian
I arrange with mom, dad, Mia and Elliott to have dinner at my penthouse. I tell them it is a surprise birthday dinner for Mia and I have mom bring her and her mystery man to my penthouse. I get everything arranged and get dad to call Anastasia to give her the change of venue for tonight.
Carrick
I ask Christian how he met Anastasia and he says she was in Jerry's office when I arrived to chat with him.
Christian
I told him I had invited her to dinner at their house as a surprise birthday dinner for Mia since I found out she was Starlight Evans and Mia asked me to arrange a meeting with her since she is one of SIP's authors. So I got lucky and someone let me know Starlight aka Anastasia was in Jerry's office when I entered it.
Carrick
I forgot he just finished the paperwork on buying SIP. She apparently went straight over to chat with Jerry Roach. Glad I gave him a heads up. I wonder who gave Christian a heads up about Starlight Evans being at SIP, this a question I would like answered. We end our call with me agreeing to come to the dinner.
Gail
Mr Grey asks me to greet the caterer's along with the security team to assure everything is delivered and ready and give them instructions along with assuring they are only there in the dining room and kitchen area and only under Gail's watchful eyes. I at least don't have to cook or clean up after all of this. We have a guest and her security arriving as a surprise for Mia and I will get to ask her questions as well. Plus get a signed book by her in person. I am aware of mr Grey buying the company that publishes one of my favorite authors that has never been seen in public and no one knows what she looks like. We don't even know her age.
Gia Matteo Of Matteo Catering For All Occasions
I finally get to see the Christian Grey penthouse. I have no idea what it looks like, but it has to be nice. I keep trying to get close to Christian Grey, but I keep missing out on the job for him. I have been hired for the huge events for the charity events Grace and Carrick have thrown and GEH has thrown, but I never had a moment to get close to him at those events. I dress for a successful seduction underneath the catering uniform. I make sure my sexiest shoes are packed in my gear. I just got waxed everywhere for my next job after this, the timing is incredible. Two billionaires in the same week to cater at their penthouses. We are pushed hard and a special cake was ordered along with several French dishes so we had to all be alert and quick. Finally everything is done and we arrive at the penthouse and escorted to the freight elevators to be checked by security and we are escorted up as I am told by the house manager where to set things up and me and my staff are only allowed in certain areas. Security is assuring we can't go any further. We are shown the bathroom for visitors and it is huge with three sinks and three stalls that all include urinals. Never seen anything like that in a home. I guess with the number of security and staff they need this. We wash our hands before we start setting the food up and I make sure the cake is ready. Gail the lady in charge has me direct all my servers to deliver the meals and leave the dining area. I am to stand within hearing distance so I can get a sense of when to serve the next items. One server is to assure glasses are filled per request or their offering. That is all he is supposed to do. I am thinking how I can take my uniform off and put my heels on. Gail is ever watchful along with security. Laughter is coming from the dining room. Here I am watching and assuring things run smoothly.
Christian
Gail is being ever watchful of Gia Matteo, apparently she has a reputation a bad one. She has been known to seduce a few of her clients husbands. So we have numerous staff watching her. I watch as Mia enjoys every second if talking to Starlight Evans aka Anastasia Steele. She actually remembers Anastasia from before her family were killed. We all attended the funeral, but Anastasia was still recovering from being ill so she left without greeting anyone.
Mia
Christian came through with inviting my favorite author. It turns out dad has been her attorney all along. He says he wasn't allowed to say anything about who he has as a client. She signs a book for me and a few of my friends as well. Christian has outdone himself with this birthday dinner. I ask how he found her and he just says he has his ways. I know Ethan is uncomfortable around my brothers because they are both very protective.
Ethan
Mia and I have been dating since she turned 18 and she will be 19 soon. We weren't given an option to get out of this dinner and I am glad we didn't skip it, because it is for her and she is chatting away with her favorite author. I notice Gia Matteo and think how she tried to seduce my father while she was catering for us. She keeps eyeing the Grey men even Carrick. She knows that I can't stand her.
Anastasia
I like chatting with Mia again, I forgot what a ball of energy she was. We chat about my books and when I started writing. I tell her I started writing as soon as I learned to read and write. Mom and dad read to me and my brother every night until we both could read ourselves.
Gail
The cake was finally taken in to the dining room by Gia and she lit it after it was placed by Mia. I notice mr Kavanagh flinch as she got near to him. I can't help but notice that while she was cleaning her hands she also took her uniform off and her outfit should be illegal. She is rubbing up against all the Grey men and Grace is not happy with it at all and dismisses Gia and asks me to serve the cake and join us whil security keeps an eye on Gia and her staff.
