Since the road was extremely congested, it took them approximately forty minutes to get to the hotel.
“We are here,” Bianca announced as her car screeched to a stop in front of a skyscraper, the top largest and most expensive hotel in Italy.
Isabella felt a strong fear gripping her entire body as she reached forth to unlock the car door.
“Isn’t it so beautiful?” Bianca inquired as Isabella opened the door wide enough that she could glimpse the hotel front through the door.
The hotel’s two large gates were wide open and two security guard were stationed on either side of the gates. Expensive cars were lined up at the gate entry with a special valet, directing the cars inside the hotel as they approached.
“Of course,” Isabella said breathlessly as she was taken aback by the beauty of the tall structures splendor which was crowded with lines of cars at the entrance.
“Then hurry up,” Bianca urged, and Isabella stepped out of the car before closing the door behind her. “Have a nice day and don’t forget to call me to pick you up because I don’t want what happened yesterday to repeat itself”, She added then started the car engine and revised the car back to the road before zooming off.
Isabella’s entire body shook with fear as she made her way towards the massive gate that led into the hotel and were guarded with two guards.
Both men were dressed in a well-ironed black suit with matching black pants and dark sunglasses that concealed their true identities.
They appeared to be hunks, with broad shoulders and expressionless faces that held no emotions. They were wearing a black air-pod in their ear and had their wrist crossed, giving them the appearance of a professional hitmen.
Isabella approached them and they tightened their jaw as they looked down at her.
“Name,” one of the men questioned in a deep voice that almost scared her away.
Isabella gulped down the lump in her throat as she felt intimidated by their height. She lifted her face to look up at them. “Isabella…” She tried to provide her complete name but the gate automatically opened before she could. They didn’t bother to ask her any question which gave her the impression that they were expecting her.
The man shrugged his shoulder and murmured, “Go in”.
Isabella heaved a sigh of relief and went in without hesitation.
Isabella almost choked as she took in a huge gasp of air with her mouth wide open while she stared in amazement at the enormous, long, glass-walled skyscraper. She haven’t seen anything similar to this in her entire life. The parking lot at the opposite end of the hotel was filled with cars.
Despite having seen images of the hotel, she had no idea it would be this stunning and real-looking in person.
Isabella made her way towards the entrance of the hotel, her heart racing as she wondered if it was safe to pass through the glassy door. To be on the safe side, she assumed it would be best to knock at the door and have someone open it for her, but to her greatest surprise, the door automatically parted open when she stepped on the golden carpet.
Isabella dashed into the hotel before the door closed behind her. She turned her head to look back at the glassy door, wanting to go back through that door and experience what had just happened. She took a quick glance around to check if anyone was watching her and of course, she realized she was being watched when she noticed the CCTV cameras that were installed at every nook and cranny of the hotel hall and a few group of affluent people, stepping up the enormous circular stairs and strolling around the spacious hall. She didn’t want to embarrass herself after seeing how well-secured the place was.
Isabella smiled as she consciously reminded herself that she had come for an interview and not to be laughed at or humiliated. There was no point in wasting her time with the door since she would still have to go throw it when she returns from the interview.
Isabella faced forward and cast a brief glance around the spacious hotel. The entire structure was crafted with exquisite interior designs and beautiful water fountains in the center of the hall. There was a staircase at the opposite end, near the fountains. It was a spiral structure steel staircase that almost encircled the entire hall and extended to the rooftop of the hall.
Isabella grew disoriented as she tried to follow her gaze to the end of the stairs above her to see where it ends at the rooftop of the hall. Although, there was also a long pendant chandelier that lit the entire hall and accentuated the splendor of the beautifully decorated grand hall.
Isabella couldn’t help but marvel at it that she forgot why she had come her in the first place.
“Hello, madam, how can I help you?” A foreign voice asked politely, and Isabella instantly directed her attention to the receptionist near the entryway which was close to where she stood. She didn’t notice the large receptionist table next to her since she was too focused on the splendor of the hotel.
Isabella strode towards the sexy brunette with green eyes, who had her eyes glued to the desktop in front of her, typing away at the keyboard while seated behind the large desk.
Isabella laid her palm on the desk, her gaze fixed on the gorgeous white lady with dark-brown hair.
The sexy brunette was tall and slim but also curvy. Her beautiful face was coated with cosmetics, and her puffy lips were painted red. She wore a white collared long sleeve shirt with the first three buttons undone, exposing her visible petite breast and a glint of her pink nipples as they scraped against the clear fabric of her shirt. She was clearly not wearing a bra.
“I am Sofia, and how may I help you?” The lady stopped what she was doing and asked politely.
Isabella began stuttering while thinking of the appropriate word to say, “I… I… I…” She hesitated for a moment, thinking before speaking. “I’m Isabella Laurenza, and I came to her for the interview,” Isabella finally said.
Sofia narrows her eyes at her, eyeing her up and down and making Isabella feel like she doesn’t belongs here. Sofia couldn’t believe this was the woman her boss had approved to work here.
Sofia averted her gaze for a split second before raising her wrist to her face to check the time on her watch, “One o’clock, you’re late.” She stated coldly, with a scowl on her pretty face.
