"Candace's cousin is into interior decoration. And we'll also be needing Ariel, Kathleen's assistant."
"Luckily she's still around. What will she be doing?" Cheryl asked.
"Well, since Kathleen's not around, it makes sense for Ariel to step in as her able assistant. She can work alongside your husband's assistant to handle the technical aspects."
"And how do you suggest I manage all of that?"
"Simple. Have them give you progress updates every twelve hours. Then you can relay those to Jason for final analysis and approval."
Cheryl nodded enthusiastically. She was intrigued about how Lauren was going about the whole thing.
"Also, I heard Shawn's mother is back to town. We can arrange with her to give you some hostess's tips which I'm sure she'd gladly help with as a recognized and award winning hostess of Baltimore."
After laying out the entire plan, Lauren smiled. "So, what do you think?"
