Serena Manhwa (fanfic)

Chapter 97

Serena's POV
*Undetermined time later*

"...however, there is some news about rooms 201 and 202." Uncle Logan sighs, handing me a document. Last night, a fire had accidentally started and spread to another room. Thankfully, the firefighters were able to arrive on time before it spread and hurt anybody.

However, it did ignite quite a spark in the public, as this had never happened in Serenity Hotel's history.

"The damage done is going to cost quite a lot to fix. Approximately 65,000 perrubles, including furniture and decoration costs." Uncle Logan says concerned.
Note: Perrubles is the currency in the manhwa (chapter 37)

"Oh my," I express, reading the costs. "Is there any way we can reduce the costs?" I ask and take another document of extra costs. "I'm afraid not." Uncle Logan expresses.

"Then, we'll just have to pay for it. From what I understand, it shouldn't interfere with anything, although, if any other altercations occur we might not have the budget for it." I pause for a moment before continuing. "Tell the staff to be very observant from now on, and set at least two more fire extinguishers and emergency phones on every floor." I command, as Uncle Logan and the rest of the people nod.

I love my job.

"Lady Serena, would you like to have lunch here today? We have quite a few specials today, and the guests would love it if you came by! If you can, of course." The head chef explains with enthusiasm.

"I have some time to spare today, so yes I'll stay." I smile, following the chef to my table. Some guests smile and greet me and some children wave to me as I pass by.

I wonder when I'll have children of my own...

I wait for my food, and while I am I admire the flowers placed on the walls. My mother loved flowers, she would always take me to the garden to help with them. She even lined flowers on all the walls and it's been a tradition since.

"Sir Eiser, hello! Would you like to join us for lunch today? We are serving specials, and Lady Serena is here too!" I hear the head chef behind me greeting 'someone' and turn around.

Eiser sees me and mutters something to the chef and starts coming towards me. By now, all the guests are staring at both of us as he sits across from me on the round table.

"How were the meetings? Is there any news on the fire that started last night?" He asks and takes off his coat and gives it to a waiter.

"I...yes. The costs are quite a lot but we will manage. I also ordered two more fire extinguishers and emergency phones on each floor." I explain as waiters set appetizers in front of us.

"Good. When there's trouble, manage it with maturity and confidence. Make the staff listen to you and trust you to able to handle these types of situations. You are already an excellent leader, Serena. I'm impressed." He said, and takes a bite out of his meal.

Why do I always feel weird when someone compliments me...what is this?

"Serena," Eiser says and I reply with a "hm?"

"Don't you remember what is next week?" He asks, tilting his head to the side a little. "Uhm, no...?" I tensed, wondering if I had forgotten any upcoming meetings or galas. Eiser chuckles and I'm left confused.

I don't think I did, I know my schedule by heart. Did I forget something?

"It's your birthday." Eiser declared with a cheeky little smile.

"Oh, right...I wasn't planing on doing anything really." I admitted. "Well, I was thinking maybe we could take a vacation for a week. To celebrate your birthday and go to another place for a bit. What do you think?" Eiser asks, it's almost as if he's begging I'll go.

Us, together?

Alone...

"Yes, sure. But where?" I ask. "You'll see." Eiser asserted and called the waiter for the main dishes.

This is gonna be interesting.
