Nepenthe Guesthouse was located in the Northern region of JM City. It was considered a quaint courtyard hotel.
Quincy had already checked in at the hotel when Yair Ivan arrived. It was all planned by Fred Thompson.
Yair gave Quincy a call after he parked his car.
Then, Quincy came out to lead Yair into the hotel.
By that time, it was already late at night.
The lights were on in the courtyard. Under the pine and cypress, there was a shade of a tree. There was a zigzag pathway leading to a pond of water at which a pink lotus was floating at the centre. The structures of the building were magnificent. It certainly drew interest from the visitors.
Anne Poole was stunned by the majestic structures of the building as she looked around her.
"I knew he couldn't pick a high-class hotel. It might be neat here but are we going to stay in this single-story house after coming a long way to JM City? There is plenty of single-story houses back in our county. What's the purpose for us to travel here?" Although the place wasn't as terrible as Julie expected, she didn't feel comfy either.
She preferred a high-rise hotel like the Berkeley Hotel, but not those single-story houses.
"One man's meat is another man's poison". Some people preferred to watch street jugglers compared to Hollywood movies. We can't judge their preference.
Anne and Yair kept quiet during that time. They weren't sure about the expenses to stay at Nepenthe Guesthouse, but they knew it was not bad either to stay in a single-story house in JM city. If Yair was in charge to book a hotel in JM City, he probably couldn't find a better one.
Although Julie and the others kept complaining, they ended up staying there as they were fatigued after a tiring day.
The next day, Julie and her gang came out from their room after washing up.
"Although this is a single-story hotel, I had a good sleep. It was comfy," said Aviana, who was pleasantly surprised.
"Comfy? My ass. That was because we were too tired yesterday," Diana twitched her mouth and said, "Eh, don't you guys feel there aren't many guests here? I strolled around the hotel yesterday and found out that there aren't many rooms with the lights on. Excluding the hotel's workers, there aren't many guests here."
"This hotel is so big, but they have so little guest. I wonder how they manage to cover their expenses."
"Hey, you worry too much. Jane Dulce's boyfriend arranged this hotel for us. The hotel is probably closing soon. This would explain all your doubts. The price went down because there aren't many guests. Hence, that guy arranged for us to stay here," Julie said confidently.
Aviana and Diana nodded.
"Last night, I asked the hotel attendants whether they have male models here, but they said no. I am pissed off," Julie whispered to them.
"Then where are we going to find male models? I dreamed Manager Miller from the San Diego western restaurant, it would be perfect if I could get him in my bed," said Aviana longingly.
"Me too. He is so handsome," said Diana in a flirtatious voice.
"Look at the two of you. Don't worry. There is still plenty of chances. He will be our play toy one day. Let's look around at the JM city these few days. I am sure you two little sluts can have some fun," Julie was also tempted.
"Ladies, do you want to dine in? The hotel attendants can lead you to the dining area. It is free of charge." the receptionist told them enthusiastically.
"No thanks," Julie turned her down politely. She had doubts about the quality of the food as the food was free of charge from a hotel which was closing down.
Even though the hotel was going out of business, the receptionist at the front counter and the waitress looked charming.
Subsequently, Hannah came by.
"Ma'am, our hotel offers a free breakfast. I'll ask the waiter to take you there", the receptionist took the initiative to serve her. The boss instructed the hotel attendants to serve Hannah well. She was a VIP guest.
Hannah was pleased to have free meals as she followed the waitress. Julie and her gang laughed sarcastically before they went out of the lobby.
"Look, only a few guests are strolling around in this big garden in the morning. For sure, this hotel is closing down soon. They even offer a free meal for people like Hannah. Let's head out and find something else to eat."
"Do you guys prefer Shanghai steamed bun or soft bean curd?" Julie proudly asked the other two.
