Stephanie happily chatted to Katherine while she kept a wary eye out for Lansky as he moved through the crowd. She noticed Emile doing the same thing and quickly revised her opinion of the seemingly charming man next to her. He may be as he appeared but she would bet good money he made his in a not so legal fashion. Growing up in her family she had learnt at a very early age to look closely below the surface while appearing to be paying no attention at all.
Paying attention was dangerous, and she suspected the man next to her was as well. Nothing much gave away his interest in Lansky except for the occassional flicker of an eyelid while Milton was distracted. Stephanie knew how to play to her packaging, people saw her as delicate. Fragile even. They assumed because she looked sweet, innocent and without guile that she was. She used that to her advantage whenever she could, because everyone needs an edge.
Noticing Katherine's attention on Emile she smiled at him and asked him in a fairly vacant manner,
"I'm sorry sir but have we met before? You seem vaguely familiar you see, as if I should know you from somewhere."
Controlling her expression she started to worry as she saw Sarah flirting with Lansky. Ty, who was standing at her shoulder, headed off to Sarah after motioning the gorilla gaurd to stay with her. She just hoped that his presence would be enough to keep her friend safe in these very dangerous waters.

"I'm sorry sir but have we met before? You seem vaguely familiar you see, as if I should know you from somewhere." Stephanie asked Harrold, for the second time apparantly. Harrold was still surprised how much she looked like his late sister. Though she never wore such a faked expression her face. She was obviously fishing for information. It may work with most people, but one had to get up pretty early to fool Harrold.
"I don't recall you, I'm afraid to admit." Harrold said. "And unless you work at the stockexchange on Wall Street much, I doubt you've seen me around much."
"Don't be silly Emile, we go out to dinner often. She probably saw you in one of our regular restaurants." Crystal interjected.
'What are you doing? You're trying to make friends with the daughter of one of the godfathers of the city.' Harrold thought. 'Oh damned, I forgot to tell Crystal who she is. She doesn't know!'
"That's a possibility, I suppose." Harrold was trying to save the situation. He had to tell Crystal who they were casually conversing with, without drawing attention from both the girl and Grossberg. On top of that Harrold had to find out what Lansky wanted of him. In that order by preference. "We visit Restaurant Row at least twice a week," Harrold continued. Harrold quickly shot a glance towards Lansky, carefull that nobody in his present company noticed. Some floozie was trying to get into Lansky's pants, Harrold also noticed that Stephanie's guard was heading towards the scene and it wasn't the gorilla.
"Yes, we go to Chez Pierre mostly, but we visit the others as well." Crystal added. "If you go there, you simply must try Pierre's Garlic Scallops, they are to die for."
Harrold was glad for the change in the direction of conversation. He noticed his drink had gone empty and that he was stil thirsty.
"I'm going to get another drink. Can I bring anyone else anything?"

"Oh a glass of orange juices would be lovely thankyou," Stephanie murmured, her attention still on Sarah who was laughing at Ty as he escorted her back to Stephanie. Evidently the flirting had been harmless enough, though it didn't pay to let one's guard down with Lansky in the room. His eyes followed after Sarah, then he glanced at her and winked.
Worrying, very worrying. She deliberately looked away and paid attention to Katherine who was busy talking about various restaurants in the city. Makign herself agreeable she nodded and made various suggestions and comments of her own. She hoped that Lansky's interest stayed firmly away from her and her friends from now on.
