We walked to a hotel and Clarissa held her arms out and smiled. She let out a sigh then looked back at me. "Et nous sommes là! Welcome to the Hôtel des amoureux! This is where I work. Well I only help out here. My task here is to make sure the newcomers are satisfied with their stay by going from door to door and checking on the people. As for you, mon chéri, our best worker has called out for the day. You can work his shift. You are to check people in and check people out! Think you can help out with that?"
'What do I have to lose other than my soul at this point.' I thought to myself and sighed.
"Sure...I'll help out. Doesn't seem I have a choice." I said.
"Because you don't, now suivez-moi!" She clapped her hands then walked into the hotel. I followed behind her then sighed.
"Clarissa! Te voilà! You finally arrive!" A woman with very pale skin and a beauty mole under her left eye said. She had long blonde hair with red and blue highlights that was styled in a single french braid.
"Florence! Je suis ici avec le bel homme! Leon, come! Meet Florence Delacroix! My good friend!" Clarissa smiled.
"Oooou~ Now there's another French babe. God, so many beautiful babes associated with Clarissa! I'm jealous that you get to have them all to yourself, mon monsieur~" Kyu-Pit smiled.
I rolled my eyes then walked beside Clarissa and looked at Florence.
"Ooo la la! Il est très informel! Il ne se présente pas comme un gentleman!" Florence covered her mouth.
I crossed my arms and rose an eyebrow. "The hell are you saying about me?"
Florence looked at Clarissa. "Sharp tongue he has there! He most certainly won't do, chéri!"
"Non! I will get him straight before business starts ah ha ha!" Clarissa laughed nervously then pulled my ear, dragging me into the back room.
"Ow! Ow! Watch the ear!" I yelped.
We entered the back room and she closed the door behind us then locked it. She looked at me and crossed her arms. "Mon chéri! Qu'est-ce que tu fais là-bas?! Vous n'avez pas de manières?!"
"If only I knew what the fuck you were saying..." I sighed and crossed my arms.
She looked at me and sighed and held her cheek. "Que dois-je faire de toi...Okay my darling, I'm calm. My partner doesn't think you fit here, but if you can't do your job then you can't pay me back! You have two options, be on your best behavior or hear from my father!"
I looked at her then uncrossed my arms then looked at her. "Right...alright, you've twisted my arm enough. I'd rather not get sued especially with what little money I even have to begin with. Those skateboards costs $350 a piece.."
"Oui, now be on your best behavior. I can't afford to disappoint." Clarissa smiled then unlocked the door.
We walked out of the back room and back to the front. Florence looked at us then looked at me.
"I promise you he will not be a problem. He will be filling in for Gustave as he has called out for the day!" Clarissa smiled.
"Je vois! Well he needs to dress for the occasion! He must be presentable!" Florence said then snapped her fingers and maids came running into the room with racks of clothing. "Go ahead! Choose a suit of your liking!"
I looked through the clothing and picked out a blue suit.
"Good choice~ Fine taste in colors I must say." Florence smiled.

"Oui oui, My darling has good taste in colors doesn't he?~" Clarissa smiled.
I went to the back room to put on the attire I picked out. I walked out of the back room and back to the two women.
"Oh! Oui oui oui! You look fabulous, my darling!" Clarissa smiled and clapped her hands together.
" Oui! Très fabuleux! Oh, it's about that time! Get him into position." Florence said.
Clarissa nodded then led me behind the counter then looked at me. "Okay, all you have to say is 'Salut! Vous vous enregistrez?' if they enter the hotel looking for a room and say 'Bonjour, allez-vous vérifier?' if they are checking out."
"What? Vase case en register, allies vase verify?" I asked.
"No no. Vous vous enregistrez, allez-vous vérifier." Clarissa said.
I looked at her and tilted my head. After a few tries of me trying to speak French correctly, I soon got it. "Salut! Vous vous enregistrez?"

"Oui! You've gotten it! Now I will come check up on you every 30 minutes to see how you're doing! After your shift is up, we will move on to my next job." Clarissa smiled then walked off.
I let out a sigh then stood at the desk. I looked around and noticed the maids walking around to go to their designated areas. Minutes passed and no one has come to check in or out. I sat down in the chair and tossed a ball up and down. "Is this what Myrrh has to go through..?"
"Yes." Kyu-Pit said as she floated beside me. "This is the very reason Rina quit her job actually."
"Now I can see why.." I said as I spun around in the rolling chair, desperately trying to find something to keep me from losing my mind.

"Eh?!" I looked at my Lover Finder.
"Oh yeah! How could I forget an important mechanic to the game! Jobs! Once you've unlocked a job and reach a certain level in that job, you'll be able to make passive income! You could literally be jerking off and make money! Money is extremely important when it comes to the Game of Lust, each woman desires something." Kyu-Pit smiled.
Clarissa came back then leaned against the desk to look at me. "Bonjour mon chéri! Have you found this job easy?"
"Boring as a matter of fact." I said. "No one has come in, no one has left. No business."
"Je vois...Oh la la. Must be a very slow day. Well tough it out for a bit longer. You only have 8 hours and 30 minutes left of your shift." Clarissa smiled then walked off.
"That was the highlight of my shift." I sighed then watched Clarissa walk off. "She is pretty hot though. I wouldn't mind-"
Kyu-Pit smirked at me and crossed her arms. She rose an eyebrow and floated to the other side of me. "Fallen for her already it seems?"
"Pfft! As if! I'm tra-"
Clarissa came back with a cup of coffee and some treats for me to indulge myself with as I worked. "Don't tell Florence~ Notre petit secret~ Usually we don't let our workers...indulge in cuisines during working hours, but it's your first day and a slow one."
"Tu es tellement belle..." I spoke without thinking.

Clarissa blushed a bit and looked at me surprised. "Wow...je suis à court de mots...Did you just-"
I noticed what I had said then shook my head. "I didn't mean to speak without-"
Clarissa stood up straight then smiled and placed a hand on her hip. "You're just trying to get on my good side. Coquin et intelligent...just how I like them."
"I don't know what you said but I'll take it as a compliment." I blushed a bit.
She giggled and walked off.
"Smooooth~ Way to go, lover boy. You're scoring high! Keep it up!" Kyu-Pit smiled at me.

{8 hours has passed, total earnings: $96000!}
I yawned and loosened my tie. I sighed and opened my eyes. "I'm surprised I even got some people in and out, at least the day is over...I can not bare this for another second."
Clarissa walked to me then leaned against the desk. She looked at me with a smile on her face. "Well?"
"Well what?" I asked then looked at her.
"Your first day. You're done, how was it?" Clarissa tilted her head.
"I hated it. The only enjoyable parts were you checking up on me every 30 minutes." I sighed.

"Oooo la la~ Such a way with words~ Since when were you the smooth talker?~" Clarissa smirked at me.
"Mmm...since I've laid my eyes on you." I shrugged and smiled.

"Arrête ça! You're making me blush~" Clarissa smiled.
I let out a little chuckle then yawned. Gustave just came back to work. He thanked me for taking is shift and I ended up getting a free room. I retreated to my room to go get some shut eye before Clarissa drags me elsewhere.
