Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

Angel took the card and entered the hall, there was already a waiter waiting at the entrance, the waiter put out his hand for the card which Angel gave him. After looking at the card the waiter led her to a table that was on the extreme front and right and returned the card to her.

Angel looked around the call when she entered and saw there were a total of fifteen pentagon tables and each table had a different color table cloth as well as flower. The tables were arranged that it had three columns and a total of five rows, the waiter walked through the isle that was between the first and second column and stopped at the third table in that column.

At that table there was only one available seat which she took, she notices that their table cloth was white with red roses at the center in a green vase. Each of the girls wore clothes that was close to purple.

Angel noticed that there was a cardholder in front of her seat that was empty, she also noticed that the other the other cardholders had similar cards as hers but of different colors. The other colors were black, bronze, silver and platinum. Angel placed her gold card in the cardholder then looked around and saw on the other tables it had the same type of cards.

Angel was the first one to say something, "Do you all know what the color of the cards represent?"

"No, do you?" the girl at her right asked.

"Obviously she wouldn't ask if she knew," the girl on the second seat from Angel's left answered.

At that time a waiter came and started to serve them water, the girl on the left of Angel asked, "Excuse, by chance you know what the color of the cards represents?"

"Milady I am sorry but we are just employees of the hotel, only the organizers know what the colors represent," the waiter answered and after pouring water for all five of them he left but returned after with a jar of red wine.

"Can you find out what it means for us?" the second girl from the right of Angel asked.

"I am sorry ma'am, but we not even supposed to be talking to you all, I can lose my job if the know I am answering your questions other that food and drinks related," he answered again and then quickly hurried away again.

"Such a shame that they cannot answer our questions," the girl on the right said.

Shortly after everyone were served dinner, the table remained quiet while they all ate but it was only after they all finished eating and the desert was served did they start to have a conversation.

The conversation wasn't anything much just about how they found their spa treatment and shopping was. Angel didn't have much to share about her day and it was only after hearing how lavishly the others spent the money that she felt relieved that she didn't spend so much, she also realized that the cards were really color coded for the amount they spent with black being the most and platinum being the least.

The waiters came once more after their desert and removed all the dishes on the table and fifteen new waiters entered the hall with a tray, on each tray there were three white roses and each waiter walked to a table.

The waiter at their table picked up a rose and Angel saw a piece of paper wrapped around it, the waiter looked at it and said, "Angel White," Angel raised her hand, the waiter walked to her and handed her the rose, Angel smiled as she collected it.

Angel stayed quiet and waited for the waiter to hear further instructions, he called the other two names and gave them their roses as well, she noticed that the girls that were sitting on the seats with the black and bronze cards in front of them didn't get any roses.

"Ladies, you all may take your cards back from the cardholder," he said and waited for the five of them to take their cards. "Those who did not receive any rose may leave now," and he paused yet again and only spoke again when it was just Angel and the other two who received rose. "Congratulations, the three of you have just passed round five. Round six will start from eight in the morning, this round would be a series of physical and combat examinations. Each examination will be in a different room. The piece of paper will have the name of your first examination in the morning, the time it will be, what number you will be to enter the room and where the examination room will be. Have a nice rest ladies," the waiter said and then walked away.

Angel followed the others out of the hall, she saw Mr. Fortune and two others from her apartment waiting outside the hall. Angel was waiting to see of the next girl was there but Mr. Fortune started to lead them back to the elevator and back to their apartment.

When the three of them entered Mrs. Webster walked over to Angel immediately while Mr. Bernard walked to number two and Miss Carter walked to number four. Mrs. Webster took Angels hand and led her back to her room, she then locked the door and got Angel to sit down before she started to help her take off her heels.

"Congratulations your highness, I will be assisting you tomorrow and would take you to the different examination rooms. It is going to be a busy day so I will pack a bag with things to keep you comfortable."

"Mrs. Webster, I don't need any special treatment," Angel said.

"It is my honor to be of assistance to you. Don't you want to see what your first examination is tomorrow?"

"I am nervous," Angel said before handing her the rose.
