As I stood in the hotel kitchen, expertly chopping vegetables and sautéing spices, my mind wandered to the chaos awaiting me at home.
My brother's arrival today was a big deal, and I should be there to welcome him, not stuck here preparing a dish for the upcoming guests. But professional commitments couldn't be ignored.
I focused on perfecting the recipe, the aroma of sizzling onions and ginger-garlic paste filling the air. Once the dish was complete, I breathed a sigh of relief and handed it over to the chef.
"It's done, now let's store it properly and make sure it doesn't get spoiled. Also, ensure that our guests don't face any shortage of anything." I said to the staff and they nodded their faces with a smile. "Don't worry ma'am, we'll take care of everything." I smiled.
"Then I'm leaving, Good luck." I quickly changed out of my apron. Now, it was time to rush home and be there for my brother's homecoming. The thought of seeing him after so long filled me with excitement and joy.
Just when "Ma'am," I heard Manisha's voice - one of my staff members.
I looked up to see her standing at the door with a concerned expression. "What's up, Manisha?" I asked, putting down the pen.
"It's the customer at the front desk, ma'am," Manisha replied. "He's been arguing with our staff for the past 20 minutes. He's claiming that we're overcharging him and is being quite aggressive."
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's the issue exactly?" I asked in confusion.
Manisha hesitated before speaking. "Apparently, he was quoted a lower price for his stay, but our system shows a different rate. He's refusing to pay the difference."
I nodded thoughtfully, making a mental note to look into the matter. "Let me see." I walked out of the room, wearing my specs.
I walked into the lobby, my heels clicking on the marble floor. I spotted the customer yelling at the staff. "I'm telling you, I was charged the wrong amount! I demand to see your manager!"
I heard some noise and a crowd of people. I signaled them to carry on with their work, It's nothing, just like a TV show.
"I apologize, sir. Let me check on that for you. (check the bill) I apologize, but it looks like the bill is correct." Rohan replied calmly checking the bill on the computer.
"That's impossible! I know I wasn't charged that much. You people are just trying to rip me off!" I was standing at a distance silently, hearing.
