A new plan

Grace quickly sensed the diminishing hope, and panic rising out of Marie, and instantly moved forward to place a hand on her shoulder.

"Wait! There's another option. In about a half hour, there's a town business meeting, to discuss the upcoming festival downtown. All the important business owners will be there, so you could take advantage and introduce yourself there!" Grace quickly explained, trying to stop Marie from falling into another funk. Marie looked up, and began pondering to herself. Her modesty seemed to have been forgotten for a moment, because Marie let the arm across her breasts raise up to support her head.

"Hmm... I guess that could work. I could introduce myself, and discuss options and plans with all of the owners individually..." Marie thought aloud. Realizing this was likely her only option aside from having to completely start over on organizing a meeting, she quickly decided that as **** as she was to meet so many people face to face, she would have to grit her teeth and face the music.

"Well, I think that's a great idea. But... Err... I think that showing up at an important business meeting stark naked sets a wrong first impression." Gwen stated bluntly, motioning to Marie. "You might want to put some clothes on."

A worried look, mixed in with a strawberry blush spread across Marie's face. "Is there any spare server outfit I could borrow? Maybe a jacket somebody forgot at least, so I could get to my house and put on some clothes?"

Grace pondered for a moment, seeming to think something over.
