Sebastian Shaw finishes dressing in his usual attire, a navy petticoat, immaculate white shirt and black trousers. A light application of cologne and he is ready to greet this evening's guest.
He was surprised at Grace's dinner invitation; if anything, he'd thought Christina might call him, seeking some sort of work opportunity, or bringing him the odd bit of information. She hadn't done so in quite some time, but Sebastian was considering re-activating her to go back to work for him. She would, of course, unless she wanted her new male friend to learn a few unflattering tidbits about her past.
However, Grace Frost would be a more than reasonable substitute for obtaining the information Sebastian wanted. Thurston Hale IV liked virile, nubile young women, and they didn't come any more so than Grace. Once she spent a few nights with the man, Sebastian would have all the information he needed to push Hale's company out of the distribution race and assure that his own pharmaceutical company, Donovan Pharmacy Supplies, was the sole provider of necessary materials to Providence.
The door is answered by the butler, and Grace is escorted into the cavernous dining room, where the places are set for a full meal.
"I hope you don't mind the change of venue, Grace." Sebastian says smoothly as he enters the room. "I have a business meeting in a few hours, and I much more enjoy eating in the privacy of my own home.
Will you join me?" he asks, as the butler pulls a chair away from the table so that she can sit.
