CASA ROMA Chapter 8: Meeting the CEO
It's their first day working in Casa Roma. They received their own IDs, that they will use to scan each door. Serene was assigned in the cleaning department while Bailey was in the reception. Bailey was good on talking and she never got tired blubbering anywhere so the task suit her well. Their uniform was a combination of red and black. The top was red with a black lace and ribbon. The skirt is pastel cut and above knee. It was not advisable to wear stockings, or to request for a slack. The colar has a white line design. It was a relief that Edna allowed Serene to wear a flat black shoes instead of heels. She was allowed to wear her thick glasses. All of the hotelkeepers hair was pulled back in a bun. She also has to wear make up as it is part of the rules. Her make up is just light, her shoes was flat and her glasses was still thick. She looks like a young teacher in an all girls dormitory, except that she looks cuter and more innocent. “The CEO just arrived this morning and he
CASA ROMA Chapter 9: Mansion
It was a long night for Serene. Her energy is draining because of the insomnia, so when she left their dorm to work, she looks like a haggard zombie. Serene stopped the cart of cleaning materials when Linette, blocked her way.“Why you're still here?” she asked. She peeked on her wristwatch to check the time. Serene looked at her confused. They have a set of task and work to do, and it was included in the email attachment sent every morning. She was scheduled to clean Room 22 and Room 17. Of course she'll be heading to that room, yet she was confused of the question.Looking at Serene's reaction, Linette assumed she was clueless about the question. She sighed. She had told Bailey earlier to tell Serene that she was being summoned to the office, but it seems that Bailey hadn't told Serene about it.“Mrs. Edna wants to talk to you. She was expecting you in her office. She might be waiting for you now.” Linette is also curious why Mrs. Edna was looking for Serene. She was worried that S
CASA ROMA Chapter 10: Working
She woke up as early as four. It has been two days after she moved in the mansion, and started working as an assistant of the two senior maids while her real boss is away. She had cleaned the entire second floor and memorized all the passage, rooms and pathways in the whole house. She heard from Josie that Darrem will be back as early as 2AM. He normally land in the island at that time and will sleep to get rid off his jetlag. Serene has to serve him his breakfast. It was her first time doing the real work with the real boss, so it was making her all nervous. “What time he usually wake up?” Serene asked Maricar again. She had asked it before, but keep forgetting Maricar's response. She was too nervous to concentrate.“He'll ring the telephone in the kitchen when he woke up. Just make him a coffee after he gave us a call, okay? What matters is we are already preparing his breakfast,” Maricar answered while peeling a potato.“Then what should I do for now?” She was just standing there
CASA ROMA Chapter 11: Club Girl and Party Girl
Darrem had reports to review. The peak season is fast approaching and he need to see if the whole island especially the hotel was ready for it. There where no complains from his guest, and all of them was satisfied of the service of the Casa. The food menu was also improved. There will be new set of women coming to work on the Var. The renovation of that club is almost complete. About the resort nearby, he was thinking of closing the beach for the meantime, one by one, to do a major clean up. Brixel stepped in his office, with a folder in his hand. Serene was next behind him with two cup of coffee on the tray. “What's that?” Darrem asked, looking at the folder his secretary just handed. Serene quietly serve the coffee on the desk. “A request of venue. The Farlington wants the Beach 2 to become their reception area and also the wedding venue. Greg made a reservation in the Avyss Hotel for their honeymoon, but he also bought a ticket in the Casa scheduled before his wedding. That du
CASA ROMA Chapter 12: Club Girl and Party Girl Pt.2
After her boss and his secretary left the house, Serene didn't waste any minute. She asked the two senior maid if she can sleep and rest for a day since her boss was in a business trip. The two allowed her because they know being Darrem's personal maid is a very exhausting and energy-draining work. She sleep for eight hours straight, and after waking up in the middle of the night, 10:50 PM to be exact, her insomnia hit her again so she decided to have a walk in the coast. Bailey join her outside. Since her friend started to work on the CEO's house, she never had any chance to ask her out for a beer. “I think you are enjoying his absence so well.” They are sitting on a picnic mat, four bottles of bear and snacks in front of them. The water was so calm and the night was dazzlingly beautiful.“I guess, yes,” she said trying to think of a better answer. She was happy that she finally got to rest, but having totally no work aside from cleaning a room that is already clean was also tirin
CASA ROMA Chapter 13: So it's You?
Serene was still puzzled of why Bailey suddenly left in a hurry. She told Serene that she is sleepy, and she need a good rest. That was too random, but Serene just let it slide. She know that her friend was not in a good mood, and taking a rest would help her. Serene helped Josie with the grocery. She had been in the island for a week now but she haven't stroll around. It was nice that she able to join Josie on the car, and drive to the only grocery store in the island. She hadn't been paid yet so she only bought two chocolate bar, with the last coins in her purse. “So when will you clean the room? Don't tell me you plan to do it before the day of his arrival. Darrem controls his schedule so well. He might comeback sooner than you think.” Josie put five cans of tuna on the cart, and looks for mackerels in the shelves. Serene was the one pushing the cart. “I'll do it later. I'm just warming up. There is not much to clean in his room, so I'm expecting that I'll finish cleaning it in
CASA ROMA Chapter 14: The Boss and the Secretary
Bailey is supposed to party in the Var, but she decided to cancel it and settled in the open bistro in the beach. Cassie would not accompany her so she just called Serene. There are lots of bar in the island, but Bailey preferred this one since this is where Ethan work during the night. Ethan grinned as she watched Bailey in the distance. She was drinking alone in the corner. Her mind was drifting away from reality. Her mind was not in the bar, not in her skull either. It was so far from the island.”Looks like Bailey wasn't Bailey right now. Should I sympathize or rejoice?” Ethan commented, trying not to laugh at her.Bailey throw a glance at him, and mouthed, “Fuck off” angrily. Serene stepped inside the pub. There were neon lights inside, and few bare-footed customers. She searched for Bailey and find her talking to Ethan in the left corner of the counter. Ethan saw Serene approaching. He heard about Serene's promotion: from a hotelkeeper of Casa Roma to a personal maid of the CEO
CASA ROMA Chapter 15: Guest
The moment Serene opened her eyes, she knew it will be the start of the real struggle. It's the day she has to face her boss, the same person she asked to sleep with her. It was embarrassing to even think of it. It's already 6 in the morning. She heard Darrem's arrival yesterday night but she pretends to be asleep. She cannot hide anymore unless she wants to be kicked out without a pay. Serene left her bed to shower. After showering for 15 minutes because she literally wanted to scrub her whole body and drown herself in the shower just to forget everything, she's done, all fresh and smelled like shampoo. She combed her hair and tied it into a bun. She's going to face her Darrem like before. She has to be professional. Her boss doesn't even recognize her so she has to stay relax. Serene just need to act normal in front of him and do her usual routine. “This isn't going to work,” she whispered to herself. “Everything is just so cr—”Serene almost jump to her feet, when the door of her
