The White Elephant 9: Secrets
Ceilia: | Hi Peter - how's everything? Still enjoying working here? |
Peter: | Oh yes. It's a great restaurant. I love it here. |
Ceilia: | Good, good ... do you want to know a secret? |
Peter: | Oh ... go on then. |
Ceilia: | I can't tell anyone ... but I've just entered us into the Restaurant of the Year awards - in the best newcomer category - hopefully, we'll be nominated! |
Peter: | Oh that's great news ... well done! |
Ceilia: | Mum's the word - I can't tell anyone until it's officially announced. |
Peter: | My lips are sealed. |
Gordon: | See you Ceilia ... What are you smirking at? |
Peter: | Nothing ... Oh go on then. Ceilia's just told me a big secret ... |
Gordon: | What? |
Peter: | We've been nominated for Restaurant of the Year award! But keep it under wraps hey? |
Gordon: | No way! Gosh, Restaurant of the Year ... me, a winner! |
Mary: | Have you won something Gordon? |
Gordon: | No, no ... you'll probably find out anyway ... a little dickie bird just told me that I've won the Restaurant of the Year award! But ssshhh, keep it to yourself. |
Mary: | OK, I won't let the cat out of the bag ... except there's no cat to let out. The awards aren't for another six months - we can't have won. |
Ceilia: | She's right Gordon. I've only just put the entry form in ... What's up? Cat got your tongue?! |
