The taxi pulled to the front of the grand home, the long yard like a drive through a winter wonderland. Snow spit around, swirling lazily and glinting from the lights on the grand home. Lana whistled as she cozied up to Shelly. "Clearly, Meredith's paycheck is larger than ours," Lana said.



"You know it girl. I think she brings up a high six figures. Hey, it's good to have friends in high places," Shelly said with a giggle as they climbed the steps to the massive front porch. Holiday music filtered outside, evidence of the merriment happening within the walls of the home.



Meredith was a gracious host as she herself opened the door for her friends and co-workers. She wore a red velvet dress that hugged her body and dipped below her knees. Her fancy Italian leather heels clicked on the marble tiled floors as she led the ladies through the opulent entry way. Lana's eyes popped at the grandeur of the posh home. The large living held a sofa, love seat, and three chairs, two with ottomans. Light stained wood floors spanned into the giant dining area which opened to the kitchen. The room which was three in one was so big, Lana couldn't imagine ever feeling cozy, but somehow it was. A seven-foot Christmas tree sat in the area between the dining room and living room. The marble-tiled fireplace had a large screen flat TV above the mantel, but it was by far not the centerpiece of the room. Most smaller homes centered around the TV. Lana's eyes took in all the paintings hanging on the walls, the expensive knick-knacks on the shelves. A server brought around a tray of champagne flutes. 



"She has servants?" Lana whispered to Shelly.



Shelly laughed. "No silly. Well, maybe a house cleaner that comes in once a week. She hires local college students to work as servers during her parties. Thank you," Shelly said as she took a tiny sandwich from the girl serving the hors d'oeuvres. 



"Can you believe the selection?" Crystal asked.



Lana thought she meant the food. "Yeah, right? The buffet table has everything imaginable," she said as her eyes wandered over the spread.



"No, I mean the men. We're talking rich and handsome," Crystal said as her eyes widened.
