I finished the plan within 2 months and got approved by the head architect. I was then assigned one of the company's construction team to execute the plan.
This hotel was to be built with expensive materials and accessorized with luxury finishes. It will take roughly a year to finish this project.
As we finished the groundwork we got ready for the real hard work.
I oversee the project diligently making sure everything was going according to plan because for any mistake I would be blamed by the firm and can possibly lose my job. Being my first project I wanted it to be exceptional as they say first impression last.
One day while on the site, Marlon-Josh surprisingly pulls up. It was my first time seeing him in person, though being at the company for over four months. He looks the same though as on tv- tall and light-skin with brown eyes and he had black hair on his head and face. He observed us as we worked without saying a word and it was as if as soon as he appeared he disappeared.
From that day onwards he visited the site occasionally to see the progress of the hotel and like the first time he came he never exchanged a word with any of us. I knew the rich saw the darker skin people of Nisean as below them and so they hardly interacted with us though we work for them.
