Ralph had been trying to establish a pet and house sitting business for the last year. He was able to amass a small collection of semi regular clients and many of these were established through word of mouth based on previous jobs. He was extremely dedicated to the development of his business though for the time being he still had to retain his previous job as a delivery driver for a catering business. However, three months ago he was able to reduce his delivery hours to part time and focus more of his attention on his own business. Naturally, when an over protective pet owner was referred to him and wanted to meet him in person and discuss the job over lunch he was more than willing to comply. The potential client’s name was Alice and she was more than willing to pay for the encounter.
While all of this seemed to be perfectly normal to Ralph has a bit surprised to learn that she wanted to meet at the upscale restaurant Nineteen, which was located at a luxury hotel Philadelphia. However, never one to judge and always eager to meet a potential client, Ralph went ahead and kept the appointment. When he arrived at Nineteen, he was guided to Alice’s table, which was on the outdoor patio area, and he was immediately stunned with her appearance. She was dressed sophisticatedly yet also modestly and had beautiful brown eyes that complimented her slightly curly black hair.
Alice and Ralph seemed to hit it off immediately and she began the conversation talking about the movie she had seen the night before. They hadn’t even looked at the menu when their food server came to take their order. They took a moment to decide and found out each of them was only in the mood for coffee and a dessert. They talked and laughed throughout the meeting and when the bill finally came Ralph forgot himself and naturally reached for it. At that moment they both remembered why they were there and Alice laughed as she said they should talk about her two poodles. Ralph agreed and when she insisted she pay for the desserts he took a leap of professionalism and said that he would only let her if she allowed him to repeat the favor at another time. Alice said yes.
