The Monday following a very successful grand opening, the crew was ready to get at it to begin the new week.
Late morning was drawing near and Jasmine was busy updating the website with photos and content from Saturday while waiting for her 1 o’clock appointment to arrive. Everyone one else was killing time in their own way. Dio was video chatting with Pablo, Renata was on her phone, Oleg was sitting, content reading his magazine. At least Mindy was hard at it applying a wrap to a client. Low and behold the door chimed and Antoinnette along with Nelson
made their presence known.
Antoinnette: “Good morning troops.”
Nelson: “Everyone working hard I presume?”
Everybody: “Morning.”
Jasmine: “Typical Monday morning really. It’s a quiet start. Just doing an update on our website while waiting for my 1 o’clock to show.”
Oleg: “Mayor’s Aid coming in for a cut and shave at 1 o’clock as well…cheers,” as he gestured with his cup of coffee.
Dio: “Pablo says good morning,” with a huge happy grin.
Renata: “Things are cool. Just waiting for some action.”
Mindy: “Working on this wrap at the moment, with four more clients throughout the rest of the day,” as she said while quickly glancing out from the spa room.
Nelson: “That is fine for now I suppose. If I could have all of your attention for a brief moment, Antoinnette has something to say to you all.”
Antoinnette: “Yes I do! I would like to congratulate you all on your hard work this past Saturday. It was a pleasure for me, and an even greater pleasure for Nelson, to make the morning bank deposit. You should all be very proud of yourselves.”
Nelson: “Yes, yes, yes! You all did a fantastic job.”
Antoinnette: “Jasmine dear. I must say you handled the interview with the radio station quite well. The ladies at yesterday’s lunch listened to it and thought you were quite charming.”
Jasmine: “Oh, I’m glad. I was so nervous about it. I thought I was going to be a bumbling mess.”
Antoinnette: “Nonsense! Your charm will put us on the map and will most certainly get people talking.”
Renata: “Hate to interrupt, but there is a young girl peeking in, and just standing there. I wonder what’s keeping her from coming inside?”
Jasmine: “I think I recognize her from Saturday.”
Oleg: “Did anyone provide any type of services for her on Saturday?”
Dio: “I didn’t.”
Renata: “Oh… Now she’s walking away from the window.”
Antoinnette: “I only had a brief glimpse of her therefore I didn’t get a chance to properly gauge her.” After a momentary pause she continues, “Jasmine! Up! Up! Quickly! Run out and get that girl’s attention. Bring her to me, s’il vous plaît,” as she tapped her finger nails together.
A quick glance back and Jasmine jumped out of her chair.
Jasmine: “Oh yeah! Anything you want Miss A. I’m on it!”
Nelson: “Good grief. What on earth is going on in that brain of yours now? I smell another one of your outlandish schemes about to launch.”
