I woke up hearing voices. I barely open my eyes. I see this man insisting that he talk to me. He is well-dressed and looks trustworthy. "Doctor, you can let him in the room to see me." "Do you know who he is?" "No, but he looks trustworthy." "Mr. Cole! Oh my God! What happened to your face?! Is it you, Sir?" "What do you mean?" "You look different." "Oh, I was told I was in a back accident." "Yes, you were very upset that day." "Why?" "Why? You don't remember, Sir?" "Not yet. But I would like to know." "First, how are you doing, sir?" "How am I doing? I'm great! I have a new face, and I'm alive! That's something to be thankful for, don't you think?" "Sir, are you joking?" "I don't know. I guess I am?" "But sir, you don't joke?" "I guess I do now. Why don't I joke?" I asked curiously. "I can't say exactly. But I assume it must have something to do with your childhood. You've lived a highly stressful life." "What do I do?" "You are a famous person in t
Baha Mar Resort The young, beautiful, and intelligent but very impressionable Kita Arie landed her first real job after leaving her small hometown some two years ago. Now, for the past six months, she's been promoted to a manager's position over the front desk clerks at a lovely hotel/resort. Mr. Klein thought Kita's image was perfect for his new resort here in Baha Mar Nassau! He had become very fond of Kita during her first year at the resort as a clerk. She was incredibly professional and friendly when handling customers, but he also liked her no-no-nonsense attitude. Her poise and professionalism landed her the next promotion that came up as head clerk! Kita had excelled far above the other women in Mr. Klein's eyes who had been there for the last five years when his resort opened! Despite the gossip and nasty rumors that flew around, Kita kept focused. That level of maturity got her that promotion! She worked hard and did whatever she could for the continued success of the new
"Good morning, I'm Kita Arie, the manager of clerks and the front desk." "Good morning, my name is Lilly Tanner." "Yes, let's begin your training this morning, Mrs. Tanner." The morning was going smoothly as I got Mrs. Tanner all trained and ready to start her duties of answering the phones that would soon be ringing off the hook! Later that evening, things were busy, and it was my first time in complete control of it all without my boss, Mr. Klein, being in the office or town for the weekend. **** "Welcome to Baha Mar hotel and resort. How can I help you?" “Reservations for Lyle Sever,” (Ken says,) looking at the row of young women faces at the counter. He glanced down at his phone, having only the side profile of a picture of the girl he was told that he was supposed to marry. He sees one girl who might be assisting another guest in line. But he wasn't sure. Just when he went to look at his phone again, the young lady behind the desk said, "Okay, sir, you said Lyle Sever, c
Kenneth Cole (POV) Reflecting on a Week before his vacation. I drowned myself in work. It was the only thing that felt familiar to me. Evan came into my office. "Hey buddy, did you go home last night? That's the same suit you had on yesterday! Man! What's happening to you? I know something's off when you don't change your clothes! You are known as one of the sharpest dressers in Aussie! Look, you've been through a lot, man, and you just returned here and dived right into work! And I admire that, but you need to give it a rest. When will you take that vacation everyone thinks you need?" "I don't know. When I get finished with this project." "Look! If you don't get out of here on your own. I'm going to drag your butt off to the airport and make you go on vacation!" Evan said, laughing. I smiled, too. "In a week, I'll get out of here, I promise. I’m just tying up some loose ends." "Alright, now go take a shower and put on a new suit. We feel scared around here. It’s bad enough; your
Ken's (POV) Now that I've thought about everything from front to back. It had to be Jeff who got things twisted in some way. I don't think he did it deliberately. But wait! The guy was petrified of me before. There's no telling how badly I treated him before the accident. Is he getting some sort of revenge on me? No, no, let me calm down. I need to think about what to do next. I look at the line, and it is not as long anymore. I looked through my phone to see who in the business world Kenneth Cole, aka Lyle Sever, knows in the hotel business industry on this part of Baha Mar Island. Scrolling, scrolling, I come across a name. Kane Klien. I quickly searched for this dude, and surprisingly, I recognized his face; I saw that he owned this fancy resort/and hotel I was sitting in that evening. I need reservations. Maybe this can be helpful information in pulling some strings. Let’s see if I can put Kenneth Cole's work into action here. What would the old me say in these circumstances to
The stress of being in a decision-making position: Kita brushed her hand across her forehead; she didn’t know what to do after having exhausted all other options. She called a brief meeting with the other clerks. The clerks whispered among themselves back and forth, waiting to see how Kita would handle this situation. Here she has a good-looking man who had no accommodation and couldn’t leave the hotel or get a flight out of there because of a typhoon threatening to hit the island! On top of that, he is Mr. Kane’s friend and their boss. So, Diane, who Kita believed was her friend, came up with a suggestion. Kita was at wits end on what to do. But she wasn't sure if she should ask to hear Diane's idea either. She had recently found out from others how Diane felt about her getting the manager's position. She learned Diane thought it should have been her title and position since she had the most seniority! It was told to Kita that Diane felt she should have declined the position when of
Kita saw that he had awakened but looked startled. “Sir are you okay?” she asked, looking at his suspicious gaze and behavior, that made her nervous.Kita reminded herself 'show no fear and remain professional.' Lyle didn’t answer her because he was too busy trying to make a call! Sticking his phone out the window boot to get a signal. He had no service! Lyle took in a deep breath calming down. Then he looked up and made eye contact with Kita as she opened the car door and got out. Lyle refused to leave the car; he calls her from the open window. "Hey! What are we doing here? Where are you going?" He asked. Kita stopped and turned, replying in a curt tone. "Sir, I don't have time to waste! It's late, and I'm tired. So, get your suitcases out of the trunk before it starts pouring down and raining again." He slowly got out of the small car. His eyes made a brief canvass of the neighborhood. Lyle looked down from one end of the row of houses clear to the other end suspiciously. Hi
He snuggled under the down comforter with a warm and naked body. He feels the softness of her sleeping in his arms. The scent of her shampoo lingers on his pillow. Smiling, his body responds predictably to her nearness. He's hard and ready to claim her. He moves his hand from her flat belly up to cup an entire breast, toying with the nipple that awakens instantly to his touch. Wanting to see her and watch her reactions, he opens his eyes and is slapped in the face! That it wasn't real! Lyle set up in bed instantly! He looked around the unfamiliar room, putting his arm over his eyes as the sun poured through the window. Lyle fell back against the pillows, staring up at the ceiling, which was painted white. "The typhoon must have decided to go in another direction. Good! I don't need anything else ruining my vacation!" "Why was I dreaming about her?" He asked himself, puzzled. "What time is it?" He rolled over to focus more closely on the clock. He sat up in bed, surprised that he ha
