- I want that corner table on the terrace! Hmp! Tourists should have a style exam before being allowed to set foot on the Island.
- Julie, honey, what's the dealio? I've waited for more than fifteen minutes for my table!
- But the terrace is your prime spo! why on earth did you let those tourists take up all the space
- Sorry, Bettina, it's been one of those days. The party of twelve on the terrace showed up just before you did.
- Bettina Ortiz y Mena was not accustomed to waiting. She is a former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe runner-up, of course, and the wife of Miami auto-parts tycoon, Herman Ortiz y Mena. She is at Sip Sip, her favorite lunch spot at Harbor Island.
- She wanted to sit on the comfy canvas director's chairs and stare out at the turquoise waters while eating her Kale Ceasar salad but there was a large noisy group of tourists taking up the entire terrace and they didn't seem in much hurry to leave.
- I assume that's the duke's security detail? They couldn't be more obvious! Don't they know that we're all billionaires here on Briland, and this isn't how we roll?
- That's Alfred Shang. (hushed tone)
- Feeling that she had been patient enough, she made a beeline for the woman with a shock of pixie blond hair manning the stove, the owner of the restaurant.
- From what I hear, that chauffeur is the most powerful man in Asia.
- What's his name again?
- Although secretly, she was rather impressed by people with big titles. From the kitchen window, she surveyed the part assembled on the terrace with new eyes. These aristo British types were strange breeds..
- Well, that tourist in the red fishing cap is the Duke of Glencora. His party just boated from Windmere- that's his Royal Huisman you see moored of the coast. Isn't it the most handsome sailboat you've ever seen?
- I'm not impressed by big boats!
- Bettina squinted through her Dior Extase sunglasses at the portly, balding, seventy-something Asian man dressed in a nondescript white short-sleeved golf shirt and gray trousers. " Oh, I didn't even notice him! Am I suppose to know who he is?
- Actually, those bodyguards belong to the duke's special guest. They did a whole sweep of the restaurant before the party arrived. They even searched my walk-in freezer. See that chinese fellow at the end of the table?
- Bettina giggled while Julie who was trying to focus on searing a cut of tuna to perfection, shook her head with a tight-lipped smile. THE END.
- He looks like a chauffeur. Doesn't he look like that guy that use to drive Jane Wyman around in Falcon Crest?
