Chapter 385 – TURNING A NEW LEAF IN LIFE II
Stanley was also currently signing a contract with Raddison Hotel. It was another hotel that Stefan has shares with. He wasn't really a CEO or the president in this hotel but he was the next biggest shareholder and the CEO was more respectful to him as well. They knew each other in college and when Stefan started gaining fame and became rich, he contacted him and asked if Stefan wanted to collaborate on a project. If the project wasn't great, Stefan wouldn't invest at all.
Stanley was assigned to work as an assistant manager in the hotel. He was a manager in his previous company so it was given that he can handle this kind of matter. After signing the contract, the representative from the HR department gave him a tour around the hotel. They needed to accommodate him properly knowing that he's related to Stefan. They didn't want Stanley to tell Stefan that they weren't doing his job.
They were walking at the lobby when they met with another five other people who were having their tour as well. It includes Jessie. Raddison Hotel was nearer to her place compared to Clover Hotel. Because of her excellent performance, Manager Kim agreed to transfer her to this hotel.
Stanley looked towards her and stopped for a moment but when Jessie turned around to look at him, he pretended that he was looking at something else.
"Mr. Sugo, do you have any questions for me?" the HR representative asked him.
"None so far. If ever I have some questions, I'll definitely find you or other senior employees to ask. As for now, I'd have to wait for Stefan's decision of my starting date."
"Oh! Don't worry about that. The Vice – President already informed us that you will be having a family trip in the next few days. So, you will formally start your work after two weeks."
"I see. Thank you so much for your help."
"No worries. If there's nothing else. I'll go back to my work now."
"Hn. Thanks again." Stanley nodded his head. The representative left but Stanley didn't. He stayed for a little while more and observed the fiver other people who were having a tour. "It's been a while since I found someone really attractive."
Jessie might jam with her colleagues who were younger than her but she's actually quite old compare to how she looks. She's already twenty-nine years old and was still single because she didn't believe in love anymore. She had four failed relationships in the past and she started feeling that something's wrong with her. Her self-esteemed took a heavy blow from these failures and she decided not to love again. No matter how romantic the couples around her, she would only smile for them but she won't wish to have this kind of relationship again.
And in fact, when she heard about Stefan and Cayenne's divorce, she rolled her eyes with an internal monologue. "I knew it. Love is no longer a sacred emotion that everyone values. And now, Cayenne has become a victim of this stupid thing." This was what she thought. But when the two got back together, she also sighed in relief. She was happy that Cayenne could have a happy ending that she couldn't have.
While having a tour, she felt that someone was really looking at her but when she turned her head to look around, she didn't find anyone suspicious. In the end, she threw this worry at the back of her mind and listened to the HR representative.
Stanley also left, feeling dejected and disappointed to himself. He realized that he's quite old for romantic relationship and although he told Dominic that he was young and could surely find someone that can be his mother, he couldn't actually do it. Those were just silly words that he couldn't act on.
After observing her for a while, he left the place and went back home. He wanted to stay at home and contemplate on other things in his life.
Back in Senyu Medical Hospital, Cayenne and Stefan continued to wait for his grandparents while Luiz was still having conversation with Clarisse. He wasn't worried with his phone bill at all because Stefan upgraded his subscription to an unlimited usage. It's the same for Kyle. Jonas didn't like using phone before but Stefan and Cayenne forced him to have one in case of emergency. Stefan also wanted to have his number subscribed to unlimited usage but Jonas refused. He didn't use his phone that much anyway.
After two hours, all the tests were completely done but the results will take time so, they left the hospital to have lunch first and just come back later to get the results.
"Shall we have lunch with Dominic and Uncle Stan? They should be done with their appointments." Cayenne suggested as the made their way back to the car. Even when they're walking, Luiz was still talking with Clarisse.
"That's not a problem with me." Stefan replied while opening the car door for his grandparents. "Let me give them a call."
Cayenne nodded her head and got inside the car. She also called Kyle and Jonas but the two were having barbecue with the guards at her backyard. They even used some of her vegetables. 'These two really knew how to have fun without us.' She mentally commented while reading the messages in their chat group. They even sent pictures as proof.
"We're actually testing out this new chef that Chris hired." Jonas sent and posted another picture of a middle – aged woman.
Cayenne waited for Stefan to come inside before opening up her question to her. "By the way, did you also hire someone who can wash the dishes and utensils? I mean, it's not good for a chef to wash after cooking, right?"
"The dishwasher will come tomorrow. He's currently settling up his matter."
"Can you tell me their backgrounds?" Cayenne asked because she had this inkling idea that these people he hired weren't just picked from an agency.
Stefan started the engine of his car as he answered, "Lucia is a single mother. She's got two children going to school and she recently got fired from her a convenience store, saying that they no longer need an old woman. She was replaced by a young girl. Chris and I saw her selling some cheap food near the construction site which was very dangerous because she had no protection gears. Chris asked around about her and also bought some of her dishes. He said that they're quite good so, he told her about this job offer."
"And the dishwasher?"
"The dishwasher is an orphan. He wanted to work and help the other orphans. They're actually living with two old people who took care of them for several years now. Because they're old and have insufficient funds, they couldn't send the children to school but the children were happy to have shelter and food. So, Justin works as a dishwasher in a fast food restaurant but they didn't pay him with the right amount of salary and he has no other benefits as well like insurance and such. But he couldn't report them because they're the only place that accepted him."
