Annika had an extremely busy opening shift at Lido Bar on Christ Church Day. She has to get ready in order to leave Lido Bar at eleven in order to meet the captain at Christ Church as scheduled.She was rushing up and down the steps, filling all the bottles they would require for the day while serving the customers because the Lido Bar is always the busiest when the ship departs. She makes sure that each beverage refrigerator is well stocked.Annika is ecstatic to spend more time with the captain on break, this time in one of her favorite countries, New Zealand. She has been here before and said that the crew bus ride to Christ Church was enjoyable since she could see all the farms and a lot of sheep on them. The abundance of animals and the fact that they are free to eat grass were so lovely to observe.It is always sunny, but the air is so chilly and the sky is so blue it appears to have been painted. The weather is also always pleasant. There is only nature everywhere you can smell

Early in the morning, the captain wakes Annika with, "Good Morning, my love." Annika replied with that wonderful smile on her face, "Good morning, my captain. The captain said, "I want you to get up early because I'm going to the bridge now. "It is already five in the morning; I will just take a shower. In any case, I have to get back to my cabin right away," Annika replied, rising from her chair and beginning to dress.She notices that the captain's bed is messy and takes the opportunity to organize it because she always does so every time, she leaves the captain's cabin. Annika wondered if it would be embarrassing for the cleaning to see how messy theWhile the captain is in the shower, Annika waves goodbye and says, "I have to go now, captain." The captain turned to depart and said, "Hey, Annika, hold on!" She asked Annika, "Can I meet you in an hour at the bow of the ship, you know where the crew can stay to observe while sailing." While the captain is in the shower, Annika waves

Annika has a cabin with other crew members; her bed is in the bottom bunk, which she made look particularly appealing by using her own floral bedsheets. She has a tiny toilet and bathroom, and the shower only has room for one person to stand. Additionally, she shared a table and chair between two compact closets.Annika needs to make sure everything is neat and organized. Annika had shared her cabin with Michelle, another bartender, but Michelle is now staying at her boyfriend's cabin, leaving Annika to herself.She is confined to her cabin since she is not reporting to work as the doctor on board advised. To get food, she can only go outside to the crew mess room. She genuinely finds time alone to be incredibly soothing. Even though she loves it so much, she's been so focused lately withThe day has been so quiet and serene for Annika that she has made the decision that she needs time to herself and to take care of herself. She also has to tell the captain that they need to be more c

Annika's mother is reading the newspaper at home in Manila in the meantime. She enjoys keeping up with business news updates because it's the only way she can find out how her first love is doing right now. When Carmen flips through the book's pages, she notices a large photograph of Mr. Phillip Rocha, who is once again highlighted as Man of the Year for having assisted other deserving Filipinos in finding employment on the ship. He has improved the lives of numerous families. Phil, as she used to call him, is a philanthropist who hails from a wealthy family and a life of luxury. He has donated a lot of money to charity and will keep doing so until nowadays.Since she currently only has memories of Phil and their times together, she is constantly brought back to the most memorable—and painful—event of her life whenever she sees Phil in the newspaper.One of the richest families in Manila, the Rocha family originated in Spain before emigrating to the Philippines and founding PR Shippin

Phillip welcomed Carmen to spend a nice afternoon in the mansion, "Hi, Carmen, do you want to go for a walk in the garden?" Carmen replied, "Yes, sir, I can do that; let me just grab you some water to bring." Philip informed her, "No need to, Carmen; I simply want to tell you something.""It's unpleasant to hear you call me sir or master when we are alone", Phil said as the two were strolling. "Phil is okay," Carmen responded. "But it would be inappropriate, master." Just try it, Carmen, and say hello to Phil, Phil orders. Hello Phil!" exclaims Carmen.Phil grins, "See, I told you it was better to hear you call me by my given name." Carmen just went through with it and called him by name. Phil asked, "Carmen, may I ask you a personal question?" How come you are working and not in school, I mean college? "Yes, Phil, what is it?" I guess my parents cannot afford to send me to college, so I finished cosmetology and tailoring after high school. "I worked here at your home for a long becau
