Fae's New Job At The Resort

The journey from Fae's house to the resort was a twenty-minute bicycle ride at a leisurely pace. The distance was not that far, but because she had to go around the lake, it looked farther away than it really was.

If she had a boat, Fae could also cross the lake directly to the resort, it would be faster. Sometimes when Mr. Thomas passed by with his boat, Fae could take a ride and go across the lake, but that happened very rarely.

The view of the lake this morning looked so beautiful with its bright blue water. The still water had no ripples at all and gave out a calming atmosphere.

White clouds slowly marched in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making the morning feel very pleasant.

Beautiful views like this were commonplace in Rhine and were one of the main attractions for tourists visiting the area.

However, a thick fog would sometimes cover the entire surface of the lake that humans could not even see their own hands.

Ah, Fae remembered when she just moved to this village three years ago. She was once trapped in the middle of a lake while riding a boat and she was so scared. Luckily, her grandfather managed to find her and brought her home.

Now her grandfather was gone. Fae didn't dare to play in the lake when the weather was bad. She was scared that she would drown if she got lost in the fog.

Fae took the time to stop at the side of the village road and picked a beautiful blue flower. She tucked it in her hair, which was tied in a ponytail as a decoration.

This time she really looked like a pretty fairy with flowers on her hair.

The girl continued her journey towards the resort while humming. She arrived in time at Rhine Spa, Wellness, And Resort. Her working hours started at eight in the morning, and she arrived there at five to eight.

After parking her bicycle in the garden in front of the resort, Fae rushed into the management office to meet Mr. Krause, who would invite her and two other new hires to tour their resort.

They must undergo internal training for two weeks before being placed in their respective lines of work.

When she entered Mr. Krause's office, Fae met a girl and a man who wore black and white outfits like herself. Apparently, these were her co-workers, as fellow newbies.

Fae nodded at them with a friendly smile. They didn't seem to be from this village, Fae thought. She didn't know any of them.

"Hey .. you're all here. Very good. You are all on time. Now, I will start by taking you around and learn everything about our resort. But before that, please get to know each other first," said Mr. Krause to the three.

The new employees looked at each other and nodded. The man started first to introduce himself. His appearance was neat, like a typical hotelier and always smiling friendly, making his quite attractive face look handsome.

"Hello, good morning. My name is Albert Schmidt. I'm an intern here for the next six months. I'm from Germany." He bowed to the two girls politely.

"Hello there, my name is Lidya Fredriksson, you can just call me Lidya. I was transferred to this resort from the head office in Switzerland to learn the operation in Moravia. I am delighted to have this opportunity because Rhione is very beautiful."

The girl named Lidya took the second turn to introduce herself. She closed her introduction by bowing politely to everyone present at Mr. Krause's office.

Now it was Fae's turn to introduce herself. She smiled sweetly and gave them a small wave. Her demeanor was very cheerful and amiable.

People immediately liked her, including Lidya and Albert, who initially thought Fae must be a stiff and arrogant girl because she was stunningly beautiful.

"Good morning, everyone: Mr. Krause, Albert, and Lidya. My name is Fae Muller. I am from the village around this resort."

"Okay... that's great. Now it's time for us to tour the resort." Mr. Krause gave a signal for the three to walk following him. Obediently Fae, Albert and, Lidya walked out of Mr. Krause's office and followed him around.

While explaining the history of the establishment of the resort, how many rooms, suites and villas there were, and all the facilities the resort had, Mr. Krause walked quickly to take them to see all the buildings and facilities.

Rhine Spa, Wellness, And Resort catered to high-end travelers looking for scenic views and a sense of peace. That's why the design was made as comfortable as possible with back-to-nature vibes everywhere in the vicinity.

Guests could enjoy clean and fresh air, birds singing all day long, beautiful views of the lake and Mount Ygrit, as well as various world-class facilities.

Rhine was a small village in the central part of the Moravian Kingdom. This small country located between Switzerland and Austria and used German as their official language.

It was one of the smallest countries in the world and was still ruled by the same royal family from the 14th century. They had a really long history, dated back to centuries ago.

Moravia's primary revenue came from tourism. That was why the government really encouraged tourism businesses in the country by making it easier for tourists to visit and enjoy the beauty of the country.

Rhine Resort was always crowded with guests and had provided many jobs for villagers living around the area. All rooms and suites were very spacious and luxuriously designed with high privacy.

The cost to stay per day at the resort was very high, and thus it only attracted guests from the European's most wealthy crowds.

Apart from the luxurious rooms and suites, this resort also had several villas for VVIP guests who required a bigger accommodation. Some regular resort guests really liked their villas and decided to rent it for the long term. They would stay there for months and didn't mind paying such high rent.

Special guests like this were very spoiled by the resort because they provided an enormous source of income for the company. Usually, they were the Europeans ultra-rich or celebrities who needed privacy.

The staff was strictly prohibited from divulging the guests' identity and was obliged to provide impeccable service so that these VVIP guests would feel at home and want to come back for a long-term stay.

"At the moment, all of our villas are occupied. Of these, only one contains our VVIP long-term guest." Mr. Krause pointed to the resort area, which was higher than where they were now. There were four villas beautifully designed like small summer homes and surrounded by refreshing green plants.

"Our VVIP guest is staying at the villa on the very end, the one with the most privacy. He came here because he had difficulty sleeping and repeatedly complained of headaches. If you get a phone complaint or request for service from villa number 4, you must immediately come and serve him. Mr. Friedrich is one of our most important VVIP guests."

Fae recorded all the information Mr. Krause conveyed swiftly in her notebook, while Albert and Lidya nodded their heads in understanding.

They felt that all the information Mr. Krause conveyed was quite ordinary and they would have no trouble remembering it. That's why they didn't take notes like Fae.

"You will work in shifts like hotel employees in general," said Mr. Krause again, gesturing for them to follow him back on the other way.

"You will work 40 hours a week and will have different days off. Weekend shifts will get an additional 20% daily salary. You will be trained for the next two weeks in all departments before being assigned to your real positions."

They kept listening to Mr. Krause explain things and then introduced them to the managers of each department.

After several hours of walking around, taking notes, chatting, and starting having interactions with other employees, the three new employees finally got a break.

"You can rest in the employee lounge and discuss what you learned today," said Mr. Krause to them as he ended his morning tour. "I'll clean up things in my office. Later in the afternoon, we'll eat lunch together."

"Thank you, Sir." Albert, Fee, and Lidya all bowed respectfully to Mr. Krause, who waved at them with a smile and walked away.

Fae was very excited. She loved this beautiful resort and couldn't wait to get to work!

The setting of this book is in Moravia, a fictional country in Central Europe. The real Moravia Kingdom ceased to exist in the 12th century. I just used the name as inspiration. Appearance-wise, Moravia looked as beautiful as Switzerland ^.^
