Chapter 360 - One Week Away
'How did these old men persuade the young girls to date them?'
Chester chuckled while reading Alfie's rant on the text. He warned him, 'Be careful they won't find out what you called them as these old men would love to beat you up real good like you can't walk for a month.'
Alfie shudders after realizing he made a mistake commenting that way. Indeed, Pitt and James are the ones who would not mind starting a brawl anywhere, anytime, whoever these people, as they most prefer to let their fists speak rather than their mouths.
'Alright. I take back what I said. Even so, I can't believe how they charm these teenagers!?'
'Just don't ask or try to flirt with them if you want to assure your safety.' Chester replied, casting a glance at Alfie before it shifted toward Pitt.
Alfie twitched his mouth, mumbling to himself. He thinks it was exaggerating. But it is better to take an arm's length away from Pitt and James for his own safety.
'Hey, dude. How about the other girl? She's kinda cute too.' Alfie asked afterward.
He was waiting for a quick reply from Chester, but the guy didn't answer him. This time, he had figured out what was going on. Chester is possibly interested in dating that teenager, too!
Alfie raised his head and met Chester's meaningful gaze. He knew it! Out of the blue, he suddenly shouted at the guy. "Holy cow! Don't tell me you are too, a*shole!"
He realized he made a mistake by yelling like that. Now all eyes are looking at him, including Hailee. Alfie laughs nervously while he apologizes.
"Ah. I'm sorry about that… Princess, I am reading news on the internet, and it shocked me." Alfie reasoned out, trying to hide his embarrassment when the three teenagers were giggling behind Hailee.
His excuse was lame, and he knew that, as it only made him look ridiculous in front of their guests.
Now that everyone's attention is on him, Alfie strode toward Mrs. Gomez, then introduced himself.
"Pardon for my rudeness, ma'am. Alfie Renaldi, Director of the HR Department. We spoke on the phone, ma'am."
He stretched his arm and offered his hand to Mrs. Gomez. The instructor promptly shook his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Renaldi. Regina Gomez, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Gomez. Our princess, I mean, Miss Davies, spoke highly about you, and she really likes your teaching and is impressed by the quality of training your university has taught its students."
"We want to meet the demand of the hospitality industry nowadays. As time changes, the courses we offer are also adding and improving our teaching. We are more in actual demos and training. Most especially when Madam Hilda, Mr. Shen's mom, became the Head of the University's board of Directors. Now Mr. Shen is our Alumni President. He also contributed a lot to the university after he remodeled M Resort and became a place where all our Hospitality Degree students can perform as an actual service crew to the event and practice their training. And so, I can assure you, Mr. Renaldi, that my senior students are well trained and ready to do actual work in hospitality service."
"I'm glad to hear that, ma'am. Miss Davies has a huge belief in you, and so I have to put all my hopes in as well," said Alfie.
As Director of the HR Department, he has to oversee the performance of the service staff that will serve the aristocrats and important personalities who attend Hailee's birthday.
"By the way, Mrs. Gomez… I want you to meet Manager Brown of the HR Department. Later, he will explain the NDA contracts to all the staff and then sign them. Royals and leaders from every country are going to attend this occasion. Celebrities and tycoons in all aspects of the business will be there as well. We have things to consider, and I know you already understood what I mean, ma'am."
"Of course, Mr. Renaldi." Mrs. Gomez nodded. "I am fully aware, and so I already oriented the staff. I assure you, they all can be trusted."
"That's great!" It impressed him they quickly worked on it.
Lloyd, who listens to the conversation, intercedes to assure Alfie with legal terms the workers must remember.
"Don't worry, Mr. Renaldi. I have already added a clause regarding the terms of their temporary works here in Australia. Vincent is more likely a king of P Country. We all value his privacy and peaceful life. As his best friend, I must prioritize this and so, all the employees we brought today were well briefed on the privacy of the guests they will attend to."
"That's a relief then! We also prioritize the privacy of our princess. If anything is released outside Dream City without permission from the guest, it will be the princess's responsibility."
"We shared the same sentiment, Mr. Renaldi. So you have nothing to worry about." Lloyd offered his hand. He and Alfie shook like two companies closing a mutual understanding deal.
"Well then! Why don't we head to the dining hall? We can continue having conversations over a meal. Almost lunchtime, so my three babies want to feed soon." Hailee is a little embarrassed to interrupt the conversation. But she started feeling the hunger.
"I'm glad you brought it up, Hail. We are starving as well!" Hazel rants, followed by Nadia and Liza. "The food your plane offered us is yummy, but I'm still starving!"
"Yeah!"
Hailee smiled. 'These girls saved me. They really knew how to turn things up so that it wouldn't be such an embarrassing situation to my end.' It was the reason she grew fond of them. They are such reliable little sisters, the ones she dreams of having.
"Alright! Let's go!"
Hailee held Vincent's hand, and they followed Nancy and Tim to lead them toward the elevator. The dining hall is located on the second floor of this hotel.
"Wow, Hail, this place is grand!" Liza commented. She has been to different grand hotels and dining halls, and Hailee's hotel is one of the best she went to.
"I agree. The decor is classic like we are entering a palace hall." Mrs. Gomez echoed.
"Thank you, Liza, Mrs. Gomez. The truth is, we just rush everything here to accommodate all the guests. Everyone can stay anywhere in Australia, but I don't want everyone to travel that far."
"Great idea, indeed."
After everyone got their food, the men shared the table next to the girls, where they chatted non-stop.
Soon, the staff arrived, they filled the grand hall. The lunch that was served was a buffet. Tim and Nancy assist the team to get plates and tableware. After that they choose tables to occupy.
Hailee was in marvel, watching the lively people having conversations that filled the hotel dining room. It made her happy, as it was her dream to build her own hotels.
True that they already own many hotels, but her forefathers built it, and she wanted something that she built.
After lunch, Tim and Nancy began the orientation. They welcomed the staff and made a brief introduction regarding Dream City.
Then Nancy began explaining all the things they needed to know regarding their jobs here. Mr. Brown came to the stage to discuss the NDA contracts they have to sign, where Leo Grubber explained it as director from the Legal Department.
In the next hour, all the staff is filling up a form and signing the NDA contracts. They also receive their schedule within the week. They have training and demonstrations as well to familiarize the two hotels.
In the following days, the crew was busy preparing to accept guests. From setting up the table, placing the tablewares, arranging the flowers, the housekeeping began filling the suite room with all the amenities they would provide to guests.
"How much did Mr. Shen and Miss Davies spend on their wedding?" asked one staff member while cleaning the presidential rooms.
"Yeah. It would be hundreds of billions of dollars. Look at these perfumes on the dresser. They are all famous perfumes!"
"I wish I could take a picture and post it on my Instagram!"
"Relax, girl! We signed an NDA contract! We can't do that."
"Sadly, yes. But I want to work here forever! Miss Hailee promised. We can hope for an offer for permanent work here once we do a good job until her wedding is over!"
"Yeah. So the two of you finish cleaning fast! We have more room to clean!"
"Fine!" answered the two gossip girls.
The wedding is just one week away. Vincent's family is finally back in Dream City. Sheena and Deana rush toward Hailee, who is waiting for them at the airport.
"Hail, your baby bump is growing bigger now!"
"Yeah. I don't look sexy anymore."
"Silly! Still, you are! In fact, you are even blooming!"
Yes, she is because she was very excited on her wedding day!
"Alright! Now that we are here, let's discuss your bachelorette party!" Sheena announced gleefully.
