The next day was Dalia's first day at work. She had always admired the Mariellios' hotel, La Dolce Villa, because of its rich history and beautiful mix of old-world charm and modern style.La Dolce Villa was originally built in the late 1800s as a grand estate for a wealthy Italian noble family. Over the years, it had been transformed into a luxury hotel, carefully preserving its historical essence. As Dalia stepped inside, she was immediately struck by the opulence of the interior.

The lobby had shiny marble floors and grand chandeliers that sparkled like diamonds. The walls were lined with intricate frescoes showing scenes from Italian history. Soft velvet sofas and antique furniture added to the grand feel, while modern touches like sleek glass tables and contemporary art pieces blended the old with the new.

The reception desk, made of carved mahogany, stood as a testament to the hotel's commitment to preserving its historical roots. Behind it, a large mural of the original estate and its lush gardens served as a reminder of the hotel's storied past.

Dalia couldn't help but feel amazed as she took in the grand staircase, its banisters wrought iron and intricately designed, leading up to the guest rooms. Each floor was a blend of classic and contemporary, with vintage wallpaper, ornate mirrors, and state-of-the-art amenities.The hotel's restaurant was another marvel. It featured high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, large arched windows that bathed the room in natural light, and tables set with fine china and crystal glassware. The menu boasted a fusion of traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist, crafted by renowned chefs.

La Dolce Villa's attention to detail and commitment to preserving its historical charm while embracing modern luxury made it a true gem. Dalia felt both excited and a bit nervous as she prepared for her first day, eager to contribute to the legacy of such a remarkable place.

As Dalia walked through the grand lobby of La Dolce Villa, she saw signs saying "Welcome New Employees" and followed them. They led her through beautiful hallways until she reached a large conference room.

The room was stunning, with a big stage and a red curtain. It had high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and comfortable chairs set up for the new employees. Dalia felt excited to be in such an important place.

She found a seat among other nervous new hires. Soon, the hotel manager, a distinguished man in a sharp suit, welcomed everyone warmly.

"Welcome to La Dolce Villa," he began. "We are thrilled to have you join our family. This hotel has a long and rich history, and each of you will help continue our tradition of excellence."

Dalia attended the orientation, followed by a tour of the hotel. They then gave an overview of the hotel's policies.

After a long day, Dalia went home to find Dina waiting for her at the door.

"Hey there, working girl!" Dina greeted with a big smile. "How was your first day?"

Dalia sighed, dropping her bag. "Exhausting, but good. Lots of info to take in."

"Tell me about it over dinner?" Dina offered, linking arms with her.

"Sure, but only if you promise not to laugh at my newbie mistakes," Dalia replied with a grin.

"Deal," Dina said, leading her inside. "Come on, I've got stories to share too!"

After a good and hearty chat with Dina, Dalia went to sign off her day and head to bed.

"Thanks for listening, Dina," Dalia said with a yawn. "It really helps to talk about it."

"Anytime, Dalia. I'm always here," Dina replied, giving her a warm smile.
