Chapter 1 : Welcome the guest

" I don't know what to wear..." Sandria said, worriedly. She was preparing for a welcoming for the hotel guests downstairs. It was normal routine as always, except she never knew what to put on.

" Look in the closet! You have a mall in there!" Lane, her brother laughed, outside the door.
Everyone was waiting for her.

" I'll just wear the same dress as I did before..." She sighed as she got dressed.
She wasn't the one that liked meeting with her guests. She was the one that liked when they left.

She opened her door, and there stood Lane. He coughed when he seen the same dress she had on last month.
" So hideous! Ugh, the guest are going to love it." He chuckled.
Sandria rolled her eyes.
" If they leave because of me, I'll be sure to wear it again." She snarked.

Downstairs, their parents were finishing up the preparations for the welcoming.
Sandria and Lane made their way over to help them. Lane helped his dad with the banner. Dad was on the ladder.
" Need help with that? Looks quite nice." Sandria complimented her mom.
Her mom shook her head.
" No. Everything is fine. Just be cordial to the guest. Welcome them. They should be here in a few." Her mom said, reminding Sandria how to act. Her mom was holding a tray of refreshments.

" We're inviting strangers to our home, Mom. I'm open for taking care of them . " Sandria replied, taking away the refreshments, putting them on the dining table. Her mom sighed.
" You know how much this means to me. It's a family business. We're all doing this." Her mom said, bluntly.
Sandria shrugged.
" You're allowing this. You remember that." Sandria snorted. Her mom shook her head.
" No. We're allowing this. And no, You remember what I said to you." Her mom corrected. Sandria huffed and sat down on the lounge couch.

" Ah- Hello! Welcome here to the High most Hotel. Please feel at home."
Mom greeted.
Sandria waved.
Lane waved and frowned.
And Dad nearly fell off the ladder with the banner.

" Well hello, all. I hope this is a good time to come here. Is it..?" The guest asked.
" Yes it is. We are throwing a welcoming for the guests. Please feel free to relax here and enjoy the refreshments." Mom said, leaving the lounge room.
The guest sat down next to Sandria.
" Hello. We haven't introduced ourselves formally. The name is Wesson." The guest turned to Sandria. She turned to them.
" Sandria. Welcome." She said, annoyed.
" That attitude is so unnecessary, Sandria. Do you even like it here?" Wesson asked, concerned.

" No. My family treats strangers better than me. You're not welcomed here Wesson, because you are not family."
Sandria huffed.
Wesson shrugged.
" You're right. An orphan couldn't wish for a better family than this." He sighed.
Sandria blinked. He was an orphan?

To be continued.
