Chapter 13 Hously Grand Hotel

Wearing in the hospital gown of St. Mary Private Hospital, Layla walked on a less bustling street, but the rate of second glance was still very high. She really wanted to go back to her rented room for clothing change. But at the thought of the libidinous landlord, she gave it up.  

Idling on the street, Layla had no other way than to ask for help from Angel, her best friend. 

However, she knew that Angel was also in trouble, for she lived with her uncle and her aunt from childhood. 

Angel’s father passed away when she was a little girl and then her mother left her and remarried. 

Besides, Angel’s uncle and aunt disliked her, regarding her as a burden. 

Yesterday in the Dreaming, Angel offended the manager in order to prevent him from firing her. Consequently, both of them were fired. 

Having a terribly guilty conscience to Angel, Layla did not have the courage to disturb her again.

“Job advertisement!” Glancing at the advertising board in the front of the gate of Hously Grand Hotel, Layla went over to have a close check of the advertisement immediately. 

“Over 18 years old, female…” Layla seems to see hope again. Despite a five-star hotel, the requirements seemed not to be very strict. According to these, she guessed that she would meet these admission requirements. 

Layla then got the spirits right away. 

Regardless of her hospital gown, she walked openly into the hall of the hotel, speaking to the receptionist at the front desk, “Hello, I came here to apply for the position as a waitress, for I noticed there was a job advertisement.”

The receptionist looked down upon Layla in the hospital gown, but, as a professional receptionist of a five-star hotel, she still smiled to her, saying to her in a tender voice.

“Please fill in the form and go upstairs to the 2nd floor, where you’ll find the interview section. Please hand in the form to the guide and then just wait for your turn.” 

“Thank you!” said Layla. Taking the paper and the pen, she finished the form soon. After that, she rushed hurriedly to the 2nd floor and submitted the form to the guide. 

Having a glance at the crowd applying for the position, Layla concluded that there could be more than 30 applicants. But, to her surprise, she found a familiar face and shouted, “Oh my god, Angel!“” Why are you here?”

“Layla!” Angel dressed in a preppy suit. Compared with what Layla wore, Angel looked like more professional. 

“Why are you in such a hospital gown? Are you ill?” asked Angel, lifting her hand on Layla's forehead to test her temperature. 

Layla moved Angel's hand, “I just had a fever, but I am all right now. I was hurried to leave the hospital, so I forgot to take off the gown.” 

“Okay... At noon today, my neighbor told me that this hotel would be officially open next week. Thanks to it, it needs a lot of attendants. 

“I wanted to call you, but your phone has been off. I didn’t expect to meet with you here!” complained Angel, for she had been kept calling Layla for nearly an hour. 

“I had no money to pay the rent, therefore, I mortgaged my smartphone to the landlord last week. Even just now when I was filling in the application form, I used your phone number.” Layla sighed. 

“Poor girl! Hope both of us can succeed!” said Angel, patting Layla on her shoulder. “But, the gown is not suitable for the interview. Anyway, we have about the same size. After I finish my interview, you may put on my suit.”

“You lovely Bitch! I love you so much!” said Layla, giving Angel a bearhug!

“Come on! Don’t get my suit creased! It will soon be my turn.” said Angel, giving a slight push to Layla. Both of them sat down on the bench, waiting.
