Indeed, when it came to work, everyone was engaged. Tolerating the scorching sun until half-past three in the afternoon, the female guests nearly exhausted themselves. They found some respite at a temporary shelter set up by the staff, where they sat down to drink some water and eat some watermelon.
Of course, enjoying chilled watermelon came at a price - it had to be exchanged for at least three buckets of rubber.
The female guests gathered around the table to savor the "expensive" slices of watermelon. As they ate and chatted, they also played the role of supervisors for the male guests, who were still working under the hot sun. The natural breeze wafting through the shelter was both cool and comforting.
Suzanne Trent took a few bites of watermelon silently, then picked up a bottle of water to drink by her side, not eating anymore.
