Jennie was just in a room next to Oceania's. Her room was much bigger than Oceania's because the one which Oceania had been given was the smallest in the whole resort, plus hers is bigger because she qualified for a job there and is an intern, about Oceania, no application and no nothing, just beaming into the hotel like a lost individual, barefooted. The madame just assumed that she was a girl from the province so why give her a big room, she could manage the small one or just prefer to rain around the streets.
It was six in the morning when Jennie knocked on Oceania's door. Being sensitive to any sound, she heard the knick on its first, she went to the door and from the smell, she could tell that it was Jennie.
"Hey morning, came to wake you, just take a shower and get ready... sorry I forgot to buy you body lotion yesterday you can use this one, I have another one... You have the uniform I brought you right?" She asked handing the lotion to Oceania who nodded in return.
"Just take a shower and put it on, I'll come to get you once I'm done dressing too," She said before leaving.
Oceania looked at the body lotion she had been given, klairs midnight blue, she smelled it and placed it on the bed. She went to the bathroom and took a shower then put on the black waiter dress. It was even shorter than the other dress she had been wearing before but she was comfortable in it. She then put on the black shoes that had been brought along with the dress then went for the mirror. She had just let her hair flow freely. She didn't bother combing it because it was straight. From the mirror, she saw the pendant on her neck, she touched it and rubbed it on her fingers, looking at it through the mirror. She then looked at her body clearly, she hadn't taken time to look at herself well, at least she looked like a hundred percent human now, anyway there was no other need to keep on looking or herself or try to admire the human-like body because it wasn't going to be permanent and she still preferred her other body and the life in the sea. It was more peaceful and that was what she was used to. Actually, being this way after shapeshifting made her feel uncomfortable, she wanted everything to end soon so she can go back to being normal and being her real self. Although she has never worn shoes before, it felt better now that she was wearing them because she didn't want her feet to hurt like they had hurt her yesterday. Seeing the bed a little bit messy and the sheets undone she decided to make it before Jenny came.
There was a knock on the door after some time. She has known how Jenny smelled and from afar she could tell that it was her, she had mastered her footsteps and how she walked in such a way that she could feel the vibration when she walked and could sense her coming. She had again learned her knocking style in a way that when she knocked she knew it was her, just the same way she had caught Madams' smell and how she walked too. They might seem like tiny details but for everyone, she came across she just had to try and get something. She opened the door and Jennie got in, dressed in a mini skirt and a white tucked-in shirt, and a tie. Wait why was she dressed differently?
" Looks beautiful on you...so cute....lemme help you with your hair... And I still can't imagine this is your real hair, it's so long I bet there's no one with such long real hair in the world, apart from you now apparently " she said after scanning Oceania from top to bottom. Who would have thought that the uniform would also look this good on her? This was the advantage that super beautiful girls had right? She made Oceania sit on the bed and then took a comb from the mini bag she had. Just from the first touch of the hair she was surprised.
" Why is your hair slippery yet it's not even a drop wet?" she asked after touching it. " Wait don't tell me it's a new hair routine that I don't know of," she said combing the hair and making a ponytail.
At first, Oceania was tensed about what to answer her but hearing the girl talk of hair routines she decided to just keep quiet. Once they were done they left for the ground floor to join the other workers. On their way, Jennie couldn't stop talking about how beautiful Oceania looked, just like a goddess, and how she loved her long hair. Oceania said nothing.
They first went to the super big kitchen which could fit almost a hundred people. Everyone else was there. Getting there everyone was looking at them, presumably wondering who the new girl was. She could hear them murmuring about her beauty even from afar. That's one advantage she has, you'll never say anything without her hearing it, maybe it's a mermaid thing. People were dressed differently there, some in black and white and others in pure white, it was only her in pure black but she was ok with it. Just some minutes and the woman she was with yesterday came and everyone was quiet.
"Take breakfast and get to work immediately before the guests start waking up... Where is the long hair girl?" she asked looking around the room. Everyone's eyes were on Oceania and when she realized it was her she went to the lady.
"Mh, at least you look like a human being now don't you..." She said after scanning Oceania from top to bottom. Oceania nodded.
"See me in my office after your breakfast, I need some details about you before I assign you the types of different work you'll be doing. I just don't want to be hiding a culprit here" with that she left and everyone signed. Jennie came to her immediately.
"I just pray she doesn't kill you with loads of work, she's good at manipulating," she said looking at the direction the lady had headed.
"Her name is Lady Sam by the way, and I hate her," she said in an angry tone.
" Is the hotel hers?" Oceania asked and Jenny burst out into laughter.
"Well I wish it was," she said and then went for their meals.
