Capítulo 25: The PROJECT

Arriving at the resort, Mrs. Gomez immediately brought them to the Country Club Garden. This open area will soon be the Class 2015 Grand Reunion venue.

Mrs. Gomez was assigned to oversee the preparation, and she brought her students to observe the work of organizing a huge event.

The organizer — who will work with Mrs. Gomez, is also her student years back and now is a famous Event Organizer in the city.

Kirk Lopez showed the students the theme he had prepared for the event. He made quick explanations of the settings.

Now Kirk divided the students into three groups. The first-year, sophomore, and junior HRM students are combined into a group to work together.

Mrs. Gomez wanted to see what the older students had learned in recent years and what the new students could do.

She believes it's not a matter if the older students learn it from her course or if the new student will be more creative during their Senior High years.

It was how Mrs. Gomez got to know her new students and their capabilities. In that way, she already has an eye for those showing early talents.

Now that the students are divided, Hailey and Nadia end up in the same group. Kirk announced they should make a theme a backdrop for a red carpet photo shoot.

All the materials they needed, such as; balloons, flowers, some art materials, curtains, etc., that they can use for an event, are all ready.

But first, the group leaders must pick a rolled paper in a glass bowl with the theme written on it.

Mrs. Gomez and Kirk will judge the creation and possibly use the idea as decorations for the Class Reunion on Friday night.

Hailey's group picked up the flower theme. She enjoyed helping to decorate a flower stand to put up on the corner of the backdrop.

She keenly observes the other groups of how they work on their themes. One group uses a backdrop using curtains, and the other uses balloons to create arches.

And it impressed Hailey how everyone was this creative. It was the talent she needed for her Life Project.

After forty-five minutes, the time to finish the backdrop, Mrs. Gomez and Kirk smiled at each other. It satisfied them with the creations the students came up with.

Next, Mrs. Gomez brought the junior students into the kitchen to help the chefs bake pastries. At the same time, the first-year students remained in the garden with the sophomores to create Fruit decorations as demonstrations to the first-year students.

They started from pineapples, watermelons, apples, kiwis, bananas, and oranges mixed with other fruits.

When it was done, Mrs. Gomez led them to another kitchen to make a few dishes. They are happy that the food they prepare is for themselves.

The students gathered back in the garden during lunch, seated on the grass, and had lunch.

Hailey and her friends choose a little isolated place to gossip about sensitive topics.

Hazel made a stolen photo of herself with her friends in the background and posted it on Instagram.

At lunch break, Hailey excuses herself from her friends to make a call. She sat on a bench under an Araucaria pine tree.

Browsing her Instagram contacts, Hailey presses a call. She waited a moment, but the other line wasn't picking up her ring.

Hailey was about to hang up when a nervous voice echoed from the other line.

"President Davies, I'm very sorry, ma'am, if I haven't answered right away!" Explain by the person on the other line. "Your father is talking to me just now, and I have to take a distance from him."

Hailey instructed the manager not to tell her father whenever she contacted him. So then, she understood if Manager Brown didn't answer her call immediately. However, the manager made another mistake.

"Ahem. You forget something, Manager Brown."

The other person on the line was silent for a moment while he tried to process her words. "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Hailey! I forgot about it."

"Hm..." Hailey told her employees not to address her by her real name every time she was out of the country, and everyone only knew her as simply Hailey Hillson.

"What report do you want to hear, Ma'am?" asked John Brown, HR Department manager.

"I just wanted to ask regarding the hiring process, Manager Brown. How many applicants meet the qualities I am looking for?"

"So far, President... I mean, Miss Hailey, I have more or less 500 applicants to approve, ma'am."

"Only 500 so far?"

"Yes, Miss Hailey. We received a lot of applications online, but they didn't meet the required qualities we needed."

"Hmm... As I expected, I perceive this matter already. For at least 5000 service crew, I needed only this number we got so far. Alright! Let me solve this myself."

"Miss Hailey, are you going to fire me?"

Creasing her forehead, Hailey mused. Did something happen? So then, she asked the manager. "Why should I do that?"

"Because I am incompetent, ma'am. But I promised the HR department would work harder from today onwards!"

"I would be glad then. And don't worry, I'm not firing anyone. Anyway, there will be changes in our hiring process, and I want the announcement to be open in P Country for now. I want you to negotiate with P Country's Consulate to introduce us to the best agency to handle the hiring matters."

"Miss Hailey, did I hear correctly? We will only hire from P Country."

"Yes! You heard me right! I will revise the information about our hiring requirements. I will redo the Requirements we look for and information to the application they can fill up online until physical interviews."

"Okay, Miss Hailey. So then, should I stop the ongoing online hiring?"

"Yes! I will contact you once I complete the new data."

"Understood, Miss Hailey."

"Anyway, how was everyone? Did dad already have final choices among the builder's companies that submitted their proposals?"

"In what I heard, Miss, they haven't yet. Your father was firing the H Company because of the fault in the East Sector."

"Come again? What happens in the East Sector?"

Manager Brown swallowed the lump in his throat before he replied. "The Third Tower was built poorly, which led to an accident, ma'am."

"What!?" She freaked out. "How does that happen!? Did anyone get hurt?"

Stuttering, Manager Brown replied, "Yes, ma'am. They took the workers that got hurt to Dream City Hospital to confine. Chairman Davies, your father, was furious about the matter. It was why he was talking to me and asking for new workers to hire."

"So it was that bad. But I'm surprised that dad who personally talks to you. Where is Bryan, who was assigned to oversee in construction of the luxurious condominiums?"

"Um. The vice president made a trip to California, Miss Hailey."

"Bryan went to America? How many days did he already have been in California?"

"Almost a week now, Miss Hailey. But I heard he is returning to take care of the problem."

"He better be!" 'Bryan, are you with Eva? I need to contact Pit to run a quick investigation!' Hailey thought inwardly.

'Bryan, what are you doing!? You are supposed to focus on our projects!'

Dammit!

"At the moment, it was Director Wilson who helped the Chairman to solve this matter." Manager Brown added. "The Planning Department was in chaos, Miss Hailey."

"Hm. Then I better call Geoffrey. Thank you, Manager Brown."

"You are welcome, ma'am."

After the call ended, Hailey was cursing inwardly. Bryan was out of the country, and now an accident occurred in the condominiums they were constructing at present.

She was desperate to finish Dream City in the next two years. She is supposed to open it next year, but too much work. Besides, all proposals she got these passing years are trash ideas.

She badly needed to find the best person to work in her dream city and hire all the workers she needed to fill the Exclusive Metropolis.

She needed workers for the hotels and resorts around the city. Including doctors, nurses, and entertainers to high-end bars in her city. She also needs hospitable and patient mall clerks, on-call housekeeping, and chefs...

All decent works; she needed all!

Within the following year, everything should finish in preparing for the city's opening in the next year.

But how could she do that when one problem after another occurs?

Hailey heaves a helpless sigh. She needs to go back to Australia. But first, Vince should find Eva to end their contract, and she needs Pitt to hurry to catch Eva.

And above all, the SHEN GROUP!

"Vince, please send a proposal to my company," she prayed.
