Erika and Jayden have finished standing by as Mrs's special waiter. Diana. Mrs. Diana was on the ship for 3 cruises that is for 15 days, because Happy Star cruise has a short cruise. One cruise for 5 days. It has only 2 destination ports namely Catalina and Ensenada. During the service of Mrs. Diana, Erika and Jayden were treated well, even they could relax. Mrs. Diana will call them if she needs to. If there is no call they can relax in their cabin, or chat in Jayden's cabin. If Erika's cabin is impossible. The room mate is like a hungry tiger. Mrs. Diana also did not hesitate to give many tips. Minimum 20$ per day.
Jayden to fill his free time, working on side jobs. Jayden has a side job washing and ironing uniform fellow crew, especially waiters clothes. Jayden can 10$ each cruise from one person washing clothes. If a lot of laundry they will pay 20$. Jayden has 8 people washing him clothes. Seeing it, Erika also wants to have a side job. Jayden said if anyone wanted to wash his clothes, he would give it to Erika. Erika sees Jayden as hardworking as her brother Mauricio. If you miss Mauricio, his longing will be treated when talking to Jayden.
Erika today was told to cover/replace the beach towel counter in the open deck. The working hours are six to six, which starts at 6 am and finishes at 6 pm. Crews who usually guard the beach towel counter are sick. The state of sea day made many guests who crowded the public area. In the lobby, in the lounge, spa, gym, swimming pool full of guests.
"Hey how are you? Long time no look" said Martin.
"I'm good sir. Yes you know, sea day today.bussy time for hotel stewardess like me," replied Erika while trying to keep away the white trolley she carried.
"Since you cleaned my office. You become different. Are you afraid of me?" Martin felt that Erika had been avoiding him all along.
"No sir."
"Don't talk to me too hard."
"But I can't sir."
"Why can't it?"
"Yes, yes because I'm just a lowly crew while you've even got a higher rank than my manager."
"So because of that.... " Martin laughed, revealing his charming smile. Another girl will approach him more intensely when she knows that she has a lot of money and has an important position, while this girl even avoids when she knows she has a lot of money and has an important position.
"Stay as it used to be, like when you asked me how to work on the ship. Don't be like this. My heart aches to see you avoiding me" Martin held onto his left chest.
"But sir, if you see other crew you're talking familiar to me about your reputation later."
"That's not to be too thoughtful," turns out Erika thought of myself as well, Martin's inner self.
"I can't, the other crew will think I'm approaching you because of your position."
"alright. Act as usual if you are with me. But if there are other crews, you can be polytheistic like this. Agreed?"
Erika nodded with doubt. Before the elevator door in front of them opened. Martin gave some vouchers to Erika.
"Nih, exchange at the coffee shop. I know it's a busy day."
Martin leaves, and Erika enters the elevator with a white trolley. Already more than 6 times he went to the linen room to pick up the crack of the towel. And this time he brought a white troley of koputi, because in the linen room there is no troley to bring a clean beach towel. After finishing bringing the beach towel to the open deck, Erika had to return to the linen room to bring a dirty beach towel with a blue trolley.
"You here?" jayden asked to see Erika overheating at the beach towel counter.
"Yes, I covered temporarily."
Jayden was wandering around looking for glasses, platters and anything that guests left on the open deck. Although the glasses and dishes are the property of the FnB department and the bar department, but the Housekeeping department must pick up and menruhny in the pantry.
"Jayden!" call Erika.
"What's wrong?"
"Here I got a voucher at the bar. You want?"
"You!" Jayden instantly sings for free.
"What do you want?" ask Jayden. When Erika handed him 2 vouchers.
"That's for you all, I still have 3 more."
"Cha tea with ice."
"Ok, I'll be right back."
After getting the cha tea, Erika was busy serving guests. Many guests ask for beach towel. They also talked to Erika. About many things, where he came from, the weather today was so beautiful and sunny. Some dolphins swimming with boats and other things.
Erika was unconscious, the housekeeping manager was going around the ope. deck and approached her.
"Yahhhh....Erika you'll get banana(nagging)" Jayden told himself at the corner of the pool
"Who got banana?"
Jayden was shocked that Martin was behind him
"No sir," Jayden shook his head.
"That waitress of the beach towel counter was scolded by your limits
Jayden nodded in fear. I should have warned him.
Martin stepped toward the beach tower conrenang, but his steps stopped to see Joe closer to the beach tower counter.
"You shouldn't talk to guests" George scolded.
"But those who invited me to talk first sir."
"You can't be like that. Your job is to divide the beach towel. Don't talk to guests."
"I'd be disrespectful if I didn't answer a guest's chat."
"You did it so you could tip from them, I know. So don't talk to the guests anymore."
"But..."
"Sorry sir, I taught him that way. So I'm sorry" Joe stood next to George.
"You shouldn't have taught him that."
"That's I guess just a form of courtesy to the guests and there's no harm. I'm sorry this girl's done," Joe pulled Erika's hand and took her to the open-deck staircase.
"Clock out, and get some rest! Don't think about the housekeeping manager, "Joe said and left Erika. Erika who was still angry at the housekeeping manager's words, turned curious.
"So he was gentle with me. Did he eat wrong?" mumbling Erika.
While Martin was still standing in his place felt something strange in his heart. "I'm a little late" Martin smiled pias. He realized something, and his heart grew sick.
"Hi Martin," George greeted Martin.
"Hi George, let's get some coffee."
George was astonished, why the hotel director suddenly invited himself to drink coffee. But he assented. Who knows his rank could rise to become a hotel director as well. Close to Martin. He knew Martin was the one who was sent from head office to this ship. I don't know for what purpose.
