A shot in the dark,
A past, lost in space,
And where do I start?
The past and the chase?

Chapter Five
By seven thirty, everyone who was attending tonight's dinner was seated and ready to be served.
The club had been transformed into an even more sophisticated version of itself. Ten tables dressed formally in white tablecloths and linen covered chairs took pride and place. The floral centrepieces alternated with a beautiful candle pieces gave it an understated elegance. Obviously Mrs Dean had helped decorate tonight's event.
Everyone had been waiting with baited breath for the guests to arrive, in particular Mr Bennett Dean himself. It was not everyday apparently that these functions were held here, and tonight was a big deal for all involved, especially the staff.
When Bennett arrived he was immaculately presented in a tux and silver tie, looking even more handsome then he had at first sight.The girls had been beside themselves trying to get his attention. They tried to make small chit chat, offered to take his coat, get his pre dinner drinks and were prepared to wait on him hand and foot, not because it was their job, but because they wanted to be noticed.
Emma stood back the entire time and chose to make herself available to whomever needed her assistance. The last thing she wanted to do or would ever do was hang off a man shamelessly.
When the time came for service to begin,Emma was beside herself with nerves and had no idea how she would serve anybody with a steady hand. This was a far cry from Rock's Deli, where putting together shouted orders and basic sandwich and salad making skills were all that was required. Emma was unsure of herself, just like she always was.
It didn't help that the only person who was being nice to her was Seth. Everyone else, especially the female staff were being downright rude. Seth had even had to speak to a few of them who were giggling in a corner as they poured drinks, looking over at her. It was her first day here and she was already feeling as though she wanted to quit.
Yet there she stood an hour later, with ten other servers and a silver tray in her hand loaded with entrees.
"Okay guys this is how tonight is going to go," Seth began, as he stood in front of the line up.
"There are ten tables here tonight, so it is obviously just a small gathering. Each one of you will be assigned to a table and that is the only table you will be serving food too, in order to avoid any confusion. As for drinks, if you are stopped by someone, just take the order. That's fine."
Everyone nodded, including Emma. That was easy enough to understand.
Seth rattled on the table numbers and assigned each staff to one.
"Emma, you will be serving table number one, Mr and Mrs Dean's table tonight,"
Emma almost dropped her tray. Her nerves could only take so much and now she was being asked to serve the main table?
"The main table? On her first day, Seth come on," One of the waiters complained. Emma was just glad it was not a female staff with the issue.
Seth shrugged. "Special instructions,"
