My Infinite Devotion

Chapter 1

Naomi POV

I have to hurry before I'm late. Right now, I'm rushing to get to work. I thought I had set the alarm to wake me up this morning last night, but I guess I forgot to.

I work at a popular five-star hotel, so I do get a decent pay. I've been working there for about two years trying to save money so I can live comfortable without worries. If I keep this up for 3 more years, I'm sure I'd be able to start up the cafe I want.

And it just so happens to be that if you don't miss work or call off on the days you are assigned to, you will get a bonus every six months so I'm trying to keep that consistent.

I know it seems that all I care about is money, and at the moment it is. But once I get ideally situated,  money will be the least of my worries. I just want to do better for myself without worry.

I look down at my watch to see that I only have five more minutes to clock in and I've only just walked into the building. By now I'm running to get to the hotel staff room before I'm late, but someone just had to move their cart in the way and I'm already running full speed ahead, so I just decide to hurdle over it.

I just want to thank myself for doing sports throughout high school and college because I made it right on time. One second more and I would have been late.

" Hey Naomi. I see that you almost broke that perfect attendance of yours today." Alexa says walking with me to go and change clothes.

" Just forget about it. I'm not going to lose that bet. I will get that Benjamin, no matter what it takes." I say holding my fist up changing my voice into one of a pirate character's.

" One day I'm going to see you come in late. I swear I will." She says with determination.

" We will see about that." I say laughing while she joins me. We quickly get changed in our work clothes and head off into our designated areas of work. Today I have room service for the half of the upper west wing and the west luxury/deluxe rooms. Hopefully I get a good tip today since I have the good rooms. 

Of course, I have a co-worker named Christina assigned with me to the designated rooms. It would be a hassle and time consuming for one person to do all of those rooms by themselves. 

After discussing with Christina on how we are going to do the rooms, we decide to split the rooms evenly between the two of us instead of working on them together. 

The day has been going by rather slowly. I think it's because the luxury/deluxe rooms are bigger, and it takes more time to clean them up. I've gotten through with the standard and started on the luxury/deluxe rooms a while ago.  

I'm finishing up the last of the rooms when my pager went off telling me that someone wanted room service in one of the luxury rooms that were assigned to me. Oh, how I wish I could stay in one of those rooms even if it's just for one night. 

With the digital temperature-controlled shower and jacuzzi tub with complimentary robes and slippers. And the beds. How can you forget about the beds? From the moment your touch it, it feels like you're floating in the clouds with zero gravity. I don't say this from experience but, I've overheard from costumers that it's just something one must experience.

I go over to the room that just called for room service. As I'm walking to the door, I can hear two people talking loudly before I can even approach the door. They're talking loudly considering that these tend to be more sound-resistant than the others.

I hope that they are not disturbing the other guests with all the loud talking. I knock on the door and call out that I'm for room service. After about a minute I was about to knock again, but someone had opened the door before I could.
