Chapter twelve The scent

At the Bay hotel

"So, Mr. Davis what do you think about our partnership? I have already given all the details, the profits and the loss." Mr. Jack the chairman Wilson company.

"I still have a co-operation with the Glow company. So I first have to go back and read the documents properly, then I will call you." Damian said. He actually didn't want to tell him that he was not interested but his grandfather and Damian's grandfather have a close relationship.

"Oh, about the Glow company, I heard they want to sign a contract with the Johnson's Beauty Company. I believe you and the Johnson are very good competitors."

Damian had not heard the news about the signing, but he was not worried about that. In this city, most of the companies were owned by two people. The first group was the Davis group and the second was the mysterious lady. "I still have an auction coming soon, I will organize a meeting with the Glow company after the auction is over."

"Then, shall we order something to eat, I heard this hotel serves very sweet dishes ." Mr. Jack pressed the button and within two minutes, a waiter walked in and at the same time the familiar scent hit Damian's nose, `Sarah?!'

On the other side, Elena and Rita were having a great time talking to each other when they suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. "That voice sounds familiar." Rita commented

"I guess it's one of the ladies causing a ruckus." Elena said

"I think it's Anna, I still remember her voice even after so long. She did not do much changes on her voice " Rita said. "How about we take a look?"

The moment Elena heard it was Anna, she became interested, "Shall we?" They walked out of the room and stood at the top watching the situation at the ground floor. Everything Anna was saying was very loud and clear. Everyone could hear what she was saying as she continued to threaten and belittle the hotel.

Anna, Maddie and three other girls that Elena knew very well were all there, watching as Anna caused a scene.

"Does your hotel want to kill me? I am allergic to seafood, why did you serve me sea food?" Anna complained.

"I am truly sorry madam, I just served what your table ordered..."

"Nonsense, so you want to say that I am stupid? Where is your manager? No, where is the owner of this hotel? This hotel should not even receive those good recommendations since you don't care about the well being of your visitors."

The waiter kept on apologizing, Anna took a glass of red wine and threw it at the waiter's face. The shirt became stained and the glass of wine dropped on the floor and shattered in to pieces. As if that was not enough, Anna raised her hands and was about to slap the waiter, when suddenly, her hands were caught in the air.

A while ago, Elena and Rita were busy watching what was going on the ground floor until Anna started bad mouthing her hotel. "I did not want to start with her but she leaves me no choice." She said as she walked towards the elevator, when she met a waitress. The people in this hotel already know Elena is the owner of the hotel, the manager had called the staffs for a meeting because Elena wanted to personally meet the staff and introduce herself. The waitress saw Elena and bowed respectfully.

Elena looked at the waitress' name tag and asked, "where are you going?"

"I am going to this room to take their lunch order, they just rang the bell," the waitress replied.

"Oh, okay. After you are done can you bring white wine to my room?"

"Okay madam." She bowed again, then opened the door and entered.

Damian who was curious of the scent asked, "who is that lady?" he just had a glance because the lady had passed quickly, but he couldn't forget the scent.

"She is Miss Elena, the owner of this hotel. May I please take your orders." She took the menu and handed it to them. After they finished ordering, the waitress left, and Damian, out of curiosity, excused himself and went outside. He stood outside the VIP room and leaned at the rails watching the situation downstairs. He noticed the group of Anna was the one causing the commotion and was irritated, he did not want to go down but his sister was also there.

He watched how Anna behaved and was about to go downstairs, because Anna was going too far. Her actions would affect both their careers, as Anna was about to slap the waitress, he recognized a certain familiar figure but he could not see her face because she was blocked by Anna.

Anna and the other ladies at the table looked at the person who held her hands and was shocked, "Sarah!?Aren't you supposed to be dead? " She was lost for a few seconds then came back to her senses and forcefully released her hands from Elena's grip causing her to hit the chair that was behind her. She sneered, "What right do you have to hold my hands?"

"Who is Sarah? I am not Sarah." She looked at the waiter's shirt and ordered him, "Go to the laundry department and tell them to give you another set of clothes."

"Wait, why would he go? I am not done with him, who are you to interfere with my business?" She pointed at herself and said, "I am the one who should have the final say here, not you. I am the one who is affected, so he is not going anywhere until I report this hotel for being unprofessional."

"Go ahead, or should I help you?" Elena said calmly.
