Chapter 66 - "Late Arrival"

After having a funny and beautiful interaction with the waiter in the hall Paulo and Fabio were in search of their teammates. They were roaming around the hotel in search of where their teammates were but couldn't able to find out their teammates. During their search, Paulo got frustrated, he stopped and asked Fabio.

"Fabio! We were roaming here and there in this hotel like clueless people and still, we couldn't able to find out where our teammates were right now."

Fabio agreed to him and replied.

"Yes, you are right! we are moving around like headless chickens, I think we have to ask any employee of the hotel who can tell where they are right now."

Paulo and Fabio started to look around in search of an employee. Paulo looked around and he saw a man wearing a well-maintained suit with a name tag on his suit talking to a waiter. Paulo said.

Hey, Fabio, look! I think that man right there might be an employee in this hotel. Look, he has a name tag as well!

Fabio looked at the man and said, "Yes, I think you are right, Paulo! He is an employee. You stay here let me go and talk to him."

Fabio goes to that man, and first, he greets him.

"Excuse me, sir! Sorry to intruppet you my name is...."

Before Fabio could even introduce himself the employee recognized him and said.

"You are Fabio! The Parma C.F. player I know you."

Fabio was delighted by the fact that the employee knew his name. Fabio thanked him and asked.

"Thank you very much you know my name, so Mr...."

Fabio looked at his name tag and continued.

"Mr Dimarco Frattessi do you work here in this hotel."

The employee was surprised when Fabio said his name. He was not aware that he was wearing a name tag on his suit. He curiously asked.

"Well, gentlemen can I ask you how do you know me?"

Fabio humorously pointed at his name tag.

"Because you are wearing a big name tag on your well-maintained suit with big letters encrypted on it."

The employee started laughing and said.

"I am so sorry sir! Sometimes I completely forget that I am wearing a name tag on my suit."

Fabio then asked.

"So since you are wearing a name tag that means you are working in this hotel?"

The employee agreed and said.

"Yes, you are right sir! I am the manager of the hotel I am newly appointed here. So how may help you?"

Fabio said.

"So Mr Dimarco you may know that tonight I and my teammates are having a dinner party in this hotel but it's been a while and me and my friend there Paulo, we weren't able to find our teammates. So if know where our teammates are having dinner can you tell us?"

The manager humbly replied.

"Yes, they booked a private hall on the fifth floor of the hotel. I think you and your friend are late? because I took your teammates there when arrived." 

Fabio then requested.

"So Mr Dimarco Frattessi could you take us there as well, I mean if you are not busy then you could?"

Dimarco replied.

"Why not! Sure! You are our guest and as a manager of this hotel it is my responsibility to help my guests anytime and for anything please follow me."

Fabio and Paulo follow the manager to the elevator. The manager pressed the button and few seconds later elevator door opened and all of them entered inside the elevator. The manager then pressed the fifth floor button, the elevator doors closed and the elevator started moving in upward direction.

All three of them were in the elevator the hotel manager later shared his thoughts on the match. The hotel manager said.

"By the way saw the match today in the afternoon and I have to say that you played very well today especially you Mr. Paulo Romani."

Fabio and Paulo thanked the hotel manager for his compliment the hotel manger continued.

"Seriously! In the first when they scored two goals I thought that it is over Parma but everything changed when you entered the pitch in second half and the moment when you scored that free kick everyone in the screamed out loud like a group of crazy people, that was a great free kick by the way."

Paulo was getting all the compliments though he was feeling proud but he still his feets to his ground and said.

"Thank you but this was all possible because of this right here next to you this man was the one who helped me a lot personally and of course my captain as well he motivation and my coach gave me confidence it's all because of them."

Fabio was glad to hear that, he pulled his gently and said.

"Thank you for mentioning that."

The hotel also said.

"Yes, you are right Mr. Romani to be a successful person you need good people around you who are there to help you I mean look at this hotel. This hotel is successful not only because of the quality food and infrastructure but also because of the hospitality and the staffs and members in this hotel are helpful to each other and to our guests as well."

Fabio agreed and said.

"Yes, you are right. I am seeing an great example in front of me already.

Fabio gave compliment to the hotel manager and his helpful nature. Later they arrived on the fifth floor the elevator stopped and the door was opened. They all stepped outside the elevator and Fabio and Paulo followed behind the hotel manager. 

Few minutes, the hotel manager stopped infront of huge door he opened the one side of the door for Paulo and Fabio and said.

"We arrived at the location sir, this is the hall where all your teammates are having dinner, I hope you all enjoy your dinner tonight."

The hotel manager wished both Fabio and Paulo. Before entering the hall Fabio and Paulo also thanked the hotel manager for helping them out and before going inside the hall Fabio asked.

"Thank you so much for helping us Mr. Frattessi is there anything that we can do for you?"

The hotel manager replied.

"Even though we are not allowed to take any favours from our guests but an autograph might be enough." 

Both Fabio and Paulo smiled and agreed to give their autographs to him. The hotel manager then gave a pen to Paulo and later he pulled out handkerchief from his pocket. He unfolded the handkerchief and asked them to sign it. First Paulo signed the autograph and later Fabio. 

After they signed the autograph for the hotel manager, the hotel manager thanked them, he again opened the door for him and asked to enjoy the dinner. Fabio and Paulo also thanked them one last time entered the hall while the hotel manager also the place left when they gone inside. 

Fabio and Paulo were inside the hall and the hall decorated perfectly. There were separate round tables with a pair of three chairs. Their teammates were sitting and luckily the president haven't arrived yet. The team Cilo Eincho was sitting alone on the table because the other two seats were reserved for Paulo and Fabio. The moment Cilo saw them he raised his hands and told them to sit with him. Fabio and Paulo saw that gesture from him and they quickly gone to the table where Cilo was sitting and sat down on thier respective chairs. Cilo was angry because they arrived very late he confronted them.

"Why both of you arrived so late? This is a dinner party not late night movie."

Paulo was about to tell the truth but Fabio intruppeted before he could speak and said.

"Sorry captain, the tyre of my car was punctured when we were coming."

Paulo understood that Fabio lied for him so that he don't have to feel embarrassed infront of Cilo. Fabio cheekily blinked an eye in front of Paulo and Paulo understood his sign and sat quite
