Sami stared at Eric for a long moment after listening to what he thought passed as a 'plan.' She growled and snatched the money out of his hand before getting out of the car in a huff and slamming the door. 'So basically his plan is to go in and beg his rich friend for help while I embarrass myself in a fancy restaurant. Well that's simply fantastic!' She thought angrily as she stormed towards the restaurant. She just hoped they let her in when they saw that she could pay, and that it wasn't one of those places that had a dress code.<br/><br/>She walked into the restaurant, trying not to let her frustration show, and walked up to the host, giving him what she hoped was her sweetest smile. "Hello. A table for two please. I may be dining alone, but an associate of mine is supposed to be coming to drop something off." She said, trying to act like she belonged there. The host, an elegantly dressed man in his forties, quirked an eyebrow, looking her up and down before shaking his head and sighing.<br/><br/>"Miss, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave. This is a high class restaurant and our guests expect a certain level of...dignity from their fellow diners. I'm sure there is a bar somewhere nearby that would be more than happy to accommodate someone of your particular class." he said, keeping a straight face through the less-than-subtle insult.<br/><br/>Sami tried to keep her temper in check. She really wasn't enjoying this, and wondered if maybe Eric had had the foresight to take her gun to keep her from shooting him for putting her through this. 'He may be smarter than I thought.' She thought, maintaining her smile.<br/><br/>"I'm afraid there was an incident regarding my gown on the way her, and I was forced to borrow clothes from a stranger that was kind enough to lend them to me." She said, getting out what was left of all the money Eric had given her. She hoped a bunch of ones wrapped in a fifty looked convincing. I'm more than willing to pay, and my associate should be picking up a new gown for me and delivering it directly. I hope this won't be an issue."<br/><br/>The host's eyes widened only slightly. "I'm very sorry about that miss. Please, right this way."
