Chapitre 5: Resort Elegance
I had shifted to my new residence yesterday. I was quite surprised when I saw that it was near Twen's school, just like Samuel said. I won't have to worry about picking up and dropping him and getting to work without any hassle. The shifting was quite hectic, and I haven't unpacked all the boxes yet. I have to take things slow; it is tiring. Tanya said she would help me on her day off. Bless her, I was almost losing my mind on how to get things arranged.
Tomorrow I'll be going to my new workplace, Resort Elegance. What a name! Hope it is as elegant as its name. The Chairman, Mr. Walker, unbelievably handed over a project of billions in the hands of his son. I don't know the name of the Chairman's son, however, soon I will find out, as I heard he would be meeting all the employees tomorrow personally. I wonder if he is doing it to motivate his employees to give their best. From what I know, he is just 25 years old, the same as me. So young and already a CEO, I wonder if he is ready for such a huge responsibility. Then again, just like Mr. Walker, he too is an Alpha. Alphas are said to be born brilliant and are natural leaders. Maybe he will succeed. I shouldn't underestimate anyone. And anyway, I have got nothing to do with it as long as I get my salary on time.
The accommodation provided by the 'Exquisite Hotel and Resort Pvt. Ltd' was without a doubt excellent. It was a furnished two-bedroom flat with a hall, balcony, a modular kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms with a shower and water heater. I wasn't expecting such luxurious accommodation so, it was a pleasant surprise. I think this is also a way to motivate their employees. On the first day of shifting, I was admiring the apartment the whole day. Thankfully, Twen, who was whining about leaving the last residence, was also amazed by the flat. He is now happy to have shifted! But the trouble is, I don't have enough to decorate the house. Plus, I am not exactly the home decorator type. Maybe, I can get few things for Twen's room and decorate it according to his taste.
I am a little nervous to start this job. New environments always bug me. Plus, the name 'Walker' was not exactly my favorite. It reminded me of things I did not want to think about. I have to get over this anxiousness, for Twen's sake. I opened a few of the boxes to arrange, at least the clothes. I and Tanya can arrange the other things later.
"Mommy, I am starving," Twen said, pulling my sleeves.
"Twen, you ate just an hour ago. You will get a stomach ache if you eat so much. I'll give you dinner in an hour, ok?"
He was looking at me with watery eyes.
"Twen, don't be like this. You know, Mommy has a lot of work. Get a cookie from the kitchen. I'll serve the dinner in an hour, ok?"
Twen nodded with a pout before heading into the kitchen and then his room, which he was sharing with me for the time being. I wonder if his increase in appetite was due to him growing. I noticed that he has also gotten a bit tanned and thinner. Plus, he was getting taller way too fast. He was only seven and already reaching my waist. In a few years, he will surpass me. I did not want to delay his dinner, so I quickly folded the clothes and arranged them in the cupboard. Twen's room has become a storeroom at the moment. I have to quickly clean it up so that Twen can enjoy his room. Though, he insists on being with me. What a brat!
The morning came too fast for my liking. I quickly got Twen ready for school and dropped him, before taking off to Resort Elegance. It was 9 km from where I was staying now, and because of traffic, it took me almost forty minutes to reach the location.
The moment I reached close to the resort, it popped out to me like the light at the end of the tunnel. There was just one word that could describe it "Extravagant"
It was huge. Being an employee, I had to enter from the back gate, but I can't help sneaking a peek at the hotel. It was just 'Wow'. This resort was not like a hotel with several rooms in one building but had several small one-story villas with a small garden in the front. All of it was facing the beach. It was like having a small house of your own. There were two coffee shops and one restaurant which was called "Garnish". I can't help but think that the name was too lame for such a luxurious restaurant. There were spa centers, a massage parlor, a gym, a pool place, three banquet halls, and a swimming pool. There were two bars, one was beside the swimming pool another was near the entertainment place.
I was so entranced by the extravaganza of this resort that I forgot my time. I realized just five minutes before I was supposed to report. I ran to 'Garnish' where I was supposed to work and made it just in time.
I quickly went to the briefing room after putting on an apron, gloves, headcover, and shoes. The moment I stepped in, I bowed and apologized.
"You are on time, so you don't need to apologize," said a deep voice that sounded kind of familiar.
I raised my head while saying, "Thank you so much, sir. I promise to work wit-" but I immediately stopped when I saw the face in front of me.
If there was a day I truly wanted to run away from...it was this day!
