didn’t believe it.”
    “I have to admit, Aimee, I don’t get all this Christian stuff.”
    “Have you read the Bible?”
    “No.”
    “Do you attend church?”
    “No.”
    “Then, there is your problem. How can you understand something if you don’t study it?”
    “Ok, I will give you that, but even…”
    “LJ, do you understand the business world?”
    “Yes.”
    “Why do you understand business?”
    “Because I have grown up in the business world.”
    “So, your dad taught you about business, as you grew up?”
    “Yeah, he and my grandfather.”
    “Plus, you are studying business in college. You are learning from other business people via internships and other events, such as the one we are at tonight?”
    “Yes.”
    “So, if you had never had any of these experiences, it would be safe to say, you don’t understand business?”
    “Yes.”
    “So, if you don’t go to church, never read, let alone study, the Bible, how can you expect to understand it? You can’t understand something if you don’t try to learn about it. And, I am not saying you will understand everything you read. But, the main thing to understand and believe in, is the birth, the death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
    “So, you are saying read to understand?”
    “Yes and no. Would you invest in a business, if you did not research the business, and believe, and trust the people you are going in business with? Or, would you invest in something you do not have faith in?”
    “Never.”
    “You have to believe what you read and have faith in the Lord. If you do not believe in the words you read in the Bible, and, have faith in God, then that could be why you don’t understand Christianity.”
    “But, I understand all the business terminology.”
    “It’s not meant for us to understand everything, LJ. I would say, that, even in business, something is going to happen that you just don’t understand.”
    “And you’re ok with not understanding everything?”
    “I trust that God knows what is best for me. I trust that He sent His son to die on the cross; and then, brought him back three days later. I trust Him to reveal things to me, when I need to know them.”

    She sat at the table behind Aimee, listening to her conversations. She has grown into a strong, independent woman. The lady loved how Aimee stood up for herself with Mr. Edward and his son. The appetizer mishap was funny. Prince Aiden has been a darling; even taking the alcoholic beverage to exchange for non-alcoholic. Mr. X, that’s what she will call him, is snooping around for any other uninvited guests to the dinner.
    Aimee was talking about her Christianity now. Lady Y, that’s what she decided to call herself, started taking notes. LJ Edward was getting close to Aimee. She didn’t like that at all; perhaps Mr. X can diffuse that situation. She still needed an ally. A Mr. or Mrs. Z, but, so far, Aimee has stayed close to Prince Aiden. She hasn’t mingle much at all.

    Aiden returned with two drinks for him and Aimee. He gave Aimee her drink; and, sat, just as the waiter brought out the main course. Aimee looked at her bowl of soup. She was reluctant to try anything else tonight. Aiden took a spoonful and tasted his soup.
    “It’s good, Aimee. It is Cheesy Potato soup. There is no goat cheese or beets in it. I promise.” He slyly grinned.
    Aimee was looking at him with a questionable look on her face. “Aimee, taste mine.”   Aiden dipped his spoon in the hot bowl of soup and carefully brought the spoon to Aimee’s mouth; holding one hand under it, so he could catch any spills. Aimee reached close to him, as he put the spoon in her mouth. To her surprise, the soup was good.
    The soup was the only good food of the night. The chicken was way too spicy; and, the vegetables seemed bland. When Sheridan joined the table, LJ told her the food was not her best. Sheridan said they had hired a new chef; and, she has argued with him all
