"Hmm, I'll think about it." Cheryl stood up from her seat, patting her decent sized food baby for emphasis. She wobbled a little as she did, slightly tipsy. "The food was great, Jafit. And the drinks... also great." She giggled. "But I really should be going now. Thanks for the hospitality."
Jafit stood up as well, her rounded breasts swaying slightly as she did. "Of course, dear. Thank you for staying, as I know you're busy." She looked over to Paul, who was tapping on her phone. "I'm sure Paul thanks you too."
Paul grunted and continued tapping.
"Please don't take offense. Paul gets like this, especially lately. She has a... What do you say in English? A low social battery."
Cheryl smiled and laughed. "I'm the exact same way. Though the drinks helped!"
Jafit laughed in response. "I'll be letting her know you appreciated it." She strutted over, heels clacking against the tiled floor, and patted Cheryl lightly on the shoulder. "Come, I'll show you out."
They both walked back to the front door, which Jafit opened. "Feel free to come back any time. You were a wonderful guest and we'd love to have you again." She smiled warmly. "And do please consider my offer. It's not every day you get to go to a restaurant grand opening!"
"Thanks! But, how will I contact you?"
Jafit chuckled. "Just come over and knock. My doors are always opened."
"Oh, haha, okay! Bye then!"
Jafit waved as Cheryl walked away, rubbing her belly. "Goodbye! Hope to see you again soon!" What a nice girl, she thought as she closed the door.

"So, how was it? Drop off the package? You were gone for a while, did you get anything useful from that bitch?" Gloria hadn't left her office since she had formulated her plan and sent Cheryl off to do the dirty work. The blinds were drawn and she had candles lit. Weird.
Cheryl plopped down in her regular seat, still wearing the delivery uniform that had been procured for her. "Yes, Miss Vandergast. The package has been delivered." Her voice was a little down. The atmosphere here was not as welcoming as it had been at Jafit and Paul's.
"So, spill it. I see that belly. You had lunch there, didn't you? How was the food? What are they up to?" Gloria was chomping at the bit for any kind of info. She was stress eating chocolates, presumably to try and take her mind off of the horrible slight that Jafit had committed moving across the street from her.
Cheryl wasn't sure where to start. Gloria had been inundating her with questions, so she decided to simply go with the last one she had been asked. "Well, she's opening a restaurant here."
Gloria smashed a fist onto her desk. "Damn! That's the last thing I need. Fuckin' celebrity chef opening a place here. Think of all those people she'll be siphoning from me! All that business!" She groaned. "Oh well. We'll take that loser down, Cheryl. And that package you left, that's the first step."
"She was actually pretty nice, Gloria. I honestly think she might be interested in teaming up."
"HA!" Gloria threw her head back. "Team up? Me? Go in with ANYONE else? You're kidding. That's not happening."
Cheryl shifted in her seat. "Well, it was just a suggestion... Oh, she invited me to her restaurant opening, too."
"Oh?" Gloria leaned forward. "When is that?"
"She said in a few weeks. I don't know how many exactly."
"Shit, that's closer than I thought... Well, you're going. Whether you want to or not. We have some sabotage to perform, Cheryl."
Cheryl sighed. "Okay, Miss Vandergast." She actually really liked Jafit and Paul. She didn't know them THAT well, granted, but... probably more than Gloria. But they weren't paying her.
Meanwhile, at the Gamor/Spillum residence, the Vandergast package was about to be opened. What was the intended effect?
