Alpha's Nala novel Chapter 12

Legaxy

There are two things I love about Ms. Dawn…

One is her sense of CREATIVITY towards work, which I honestly envy and admire at the same time. 

Why?

Well, her mind, unlike any other human being existing in this world, is like a 'tree'. Whenever it grows and branches out, extraordinary and beneficial things happened everywhere:

Like, incredible ideas to a plan are born; making things easy for the Sales and Marketing department to advertise, Food and Beverage section to program events, and for the Culinary office to make exquisite menus.

Or how about, unexpected but significant explanations to an issue are developed and hence justified; earning an easy way out for the Revenue and Reservations personnel from indecisive booking topics, Front Office team from customer complaints, Accounting staff from payment refunds, and Housekeeping crew from room switching crisis.

Not to mention, unusual yet effective solutions to a problem are formulated and well-carried out after; helping to achieve results for the Human Resource department in terms of employee selection, Sports and Leisure regarding lively and entertaining activities, Security division honoring property and personnel safety, Information Technology office relating to data and computer equipment, and the Engineering section concerning on the repair and maintenance.

I know, that's a lot to take in, right? 

But impossible as it seems, Ms. Dawn prefers it that way; the messier, the better she always says. And believe it or not, she treats it like a game and never gets tired of handling all of it.

She's basically always on the go — just like Harry said...

Real talk though, I'm only 21 but I can't even make a minor decision on what coffee flavor to drink at 3 pm — coffee break at the hotel, or what casual attire to wear that would go with my mood for the day.

While for Ms. Dawn, she just took a glance at it, analyze it for a couple of seconds, and then, like a quick snap of a finger, a decision has been officially made — it's particularly, a DONE and NEXT pace.

Nevertheless, she's a genius in a creative and imaginative way.

And to think that she's pure human... See why I adore her that much now?

And two, her sense of HUMOR...

Didn't expect that, haven't you? 

(Smiling internally)

But yes, you heard me right. Ms. Dawn, behind the hard and serious exterior of a Queen boss, is a cheerful and genuine funny lady. 

She's amazingly witty and tends to joke around when boredom strikes her. However, depending on the level of tedium she has, her jests could go from hilariously silly, to real crazy.

Don't worry though, she doesn't have any psycho background or something — a perfectly stable woman...

Besides that, she's also a huge tease, and do listen when I say be careful with that side of her. Especially, when you're a hot-headed individual.

Why is that, again?

You see, when she ultimately finds the perfect moment to pester and victim to poke fun at, she never stops then. She'll pick on you until you cry your eyes out, get mad, or totally turn a darker shade of red from embarrassment.

I know, so cruel of her, but that's basically her happiness so might as well accept it.

And by means of ‘accept it’, I mean by ‘me’ — since I'm the favorite person in terms of entertainment…

Sure, it was very annoying at first but as time went by, I found myself enjoying the humor until I, shockingly, learned to tag along.

Still, I have my boundaries.

Especially if I truly want to FOCUS on work and FINISH the task on hand; much too similar to what I REALLY want to happen right now.

Though Ms. Dawn, as playful as she was, had other ideas — and yes, she's the distraction I was talking about...

It started with me and briefly glancing at the clock.

5:00 pm, I discovered.

Supposed to be the end of my shift, but I found myself not caring and just be fully engrossed in work. 

In fact, I was too focused on the job that I didn't even notice Ms. Dawn's joyful presence beside my work area. 

She had to clear her throat, twice, to get my full attention...

Hearing the second grunt, I finally perked up my head from my labor and set my alert eyes on Ms. Dawn, who was standing beside her glass office door, a cup of coffee — or tea maybe, in her hand, and a sly grin on her face.

“Rain seems to be having a blast,” She finally commented, sipping her cup. 

Realizing that she must have been eavesdropping — typical Ms. Dawn, I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously before nodding my head in agreement.

“Ah huh, she does.” I conceded, eyes still looking at her questioningly.

Her lips formed a silly pout upon hearing my response. Then, she looked at the door where Rain exited a moment ago and unexpectedly, zoned out — I saw her eyes were distant as if she was someplace else.

Believing she will not ponder on the subject anymore, I shrugged her existence from my senses and shifted my focus back on the chore on hand. 

I didn't get the chance to finish reading the first stanza of one of the business notes when Ms. Dawn spoke up again. 

This time, I caught a glimpse of her slowly walking closer towards me...

“Don't you wanna go with her? I mean, no offense about the virginity talk — and yup, I've eavesdropped, not guilty about it though,” — Of course she did that I rolled my eyes — “but I think the witch's right about you... involve some fun in your life. It's healthier that way. Besides, going to different bars every night can't satisfy your sensual needs —” She said but I quickly interrupted her.
