Andria Bennett felt nervous at the interview for the position of a waitress at Lepearl. She kept looking over her shoulder fearing that at any moment someone would recognize her. She wondered what she would say if her ruse was discovered. She tightly cluchted her envelope full of her cousin's documents.

"I am Laura Bennett and I am a hospitality management student at Four Leaves College...,"she vehemently rehearsed. She hoped not to be discovered before she had a chance to learn more about the inner workings of Lepearl hotel. "Hi I'm a Lorna. Are you also interviewing for the waitress position?" A younger looking pretty girl asked her. She turned around and said ,"yes I'm also interviewing for the waitress position. " "Good luck to you and to me ,"Lorna said.

The interview passed very quickly and she got the waitress job, the reporting date was set for Monday the following week.This gave Andria ample time to practice her serving skills. She reported on time and the staff manager ,a kind but strict middle aged woman, introduced her together with four other hired waitresses to the rest of the staff. They were three ladies including her and Lorna ,who was all smiles,and two gents hired at the interview. After introduction they were shown to their respective locker rooms and given two sets of uniform each , they proceeded to change and we're shown around the hotel. Lepearl was very huge and the tour took atleast two hours.

Mrs Williams ,the staff manager, rattled out the list of rules to them and strictly reminded them that the hotel staff are forbidden from frartenizing with guests.Soon afterwards they were thrown into the lunchtime rush hour. The next few days passed blissfully quickly due to the busy schedule of the hotel. Since it was springtime the hotel was packed full of tourists especially first time bookings. This ensured that we were awfully busy and being strictly managed in order to turn the first time customers into repeat customers.

Andria didn't mind the busy life of working at the hotel, she loved working and was essentially a certified workaholic. She quickly becoming acclimatized to the inner workings of Lepearl. Her days were rarely dull especially with the chatty Lorna around.
