A few weeks later, January 20th 1991,
Veronica was still at the hotel, mainly because she was too busy at the restaurant to even look for an apartment or house and also because she didn't want to be lonly, at the hotel there's always people around and also one of the benefits of living in a hotel is the maids will clean up (dust) your room and change the sheets, not to mention the hotel includes picking up clothes, dropping them off at the dry cleaners and picks them up as well
Michael was focussing more on his album and spending time in the studio recording, he was barly at the restaurant the past few weeks
Bailey was at the restaurant but only working on her book instead of actually helping out at the restaurant
"Veronica where's the order for the bar?"
"Yeah and wheres my new kitchen knife you ordered two weeks ago?"
"And the waitress outfits since the old ones need replacement, they're either stained with sauce, coffee or wine"
The various staff members asked Veronica who was busy with the salary administration at the moment, to make sure everyone gets their money in time or they've another reason to bother her
"The outfits are supposed to be delivered somewhere today, the knife should arrive either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and the order for the bar arrived this morning with the kitchen delivery" veronica answered them all "Oh and yes you all get your salary in time" she added "Anything else?" She asked
"The uh dishwasher is acting up, we've to use it twice for one load to be clean instead of once" The kitchen assistant mentioned
"I'll call someone to fix it" Veronica answered
"Oh and Veronica?" One of the waitresses asked
"Yes?" Veronica answered, trying not to sigh
"Can you cover my late shift? I can't do a double shift, I have to be somewhere else at 8pm" the waitress asked
"Sure, next time let me know sooner so I can find a replacement for the shift ok?" Veronica replied
"Ok" the waitress nodded before going back to the front of the restaurant, serving lunch to the guests
"Oh Veronica?" Bailey asked, closing her laptop after saving her latest draft and removing her earphones from her head
"Yes?" Veronica answered
"Do you mind closing alone tonight? I've a meeting at 2pm and after that I'm going to Bakersfield to see my parents, it's been a while I saw them and they invited me and Desmond for dinner" Bailey mentioned
