Lisa frowned and Lester continued, “It is the Boss's method to check the staff's hard work and unfortunately, they failed. Now, we will bring new staff members who will put their life at risk to help others. Just like you did today. You proved yourself that you are indeed truly devoted to your job.”

After praising Lisa, Lester thought maybe his boss would be happy now. But instead, Augustus sneered at him and asked rudely, “Are you done.?”

Lester hesitated and nodded his head down.

“You can leave first, Lester.” He barked those words and Lester left the room without taking a single glance.

By seeing she is alone with him. Lisa also said in a calming tone. “I should leave too.” And turned around.

“I’ll walk you out.” Augustus' voice came from behind.

In the living room, she bent down to pick her heels which she threw off while entering.

Augustus took a great look at her ass.

Lisa turned and caught him staring. She asked annoyingly, “What are you looking at.?”

Augustus came back to his senses and said, “Can’t tell a person who exercises daily is not even able to climb the stairs without heels.?”

“How did you know I exercise daily.? Lisa frowned.

“Well, you have a good physique. Just guessing..” Augustus said in a mocking way so that she doesn’t doubt him.

Lisa was stunned. She put on her heels, ran out of the room as fast as she could.

Augustus looked at her back and smiled.

When she was out of his sight. He shouted, “Lester, I want all the information about Lisa Mathew before I go to bed.”

Lester came out from the corner and said, “Yes boss.”

By the time Lisa reached her home, she was exhausted. She took a quick shower and ate dinner peacefully.

After she was full, she lay down on her bed and thought about what happened today with her. This new owner is really weird. Instead of thanking, he was scolding her and even checking out her ass shamefully. Such a pervert..!

After tossing on the bed for half an hour she couldn’t sleep. And finally, she did what she always vowed to not do.

She went to her closet and took out her husband’s shirt. She used to sniff it and wrap it around her body so she could feel her husband’s presence with her.

It’s been six months, every night she sleeps like this. No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t fall asleep without hugging it.

...

Colosseum Hotel.

In the Presidential suite, Augustus was looking at a thin file. After a while, he opened it.

On the first page, there was the birth certificate of Lisa Mathew. Her wedding picture and Her family photo. Lisa, Husband, Son. Finally, there was a picture of her Facebook account: Lisa Mathew.

He switched on his laptop and searched for her. He found her and clicked on her profile.

There was a beautiful picture on the desktop in black and white. He scrolled through her photos and saw her picture with her husband. There was a spark in her eyes, and her smile was so wide.

Today the Lisa he met and the Lisa in the picture both looked like two different people. He somehow got heartache by thinking this.

She was married when she was sixteen. She had a son at the age of 17 and became a widow at the age of 23. So young and facing so many hardships. He felt pity for her.

Then, he saw her videos of singing cover songs and playing guitar. Her voice was so mesmerizing.

He heard her songs and felt she is a multi-talented woman. Her last post was in April, with the caption of a song named “Rewrite The Stars”# “Loved to sing this song but couldn’t find a partner. I wish I could sing this one day wholeheartedly.” With heart and sad face emojis.

“Hmmm.. Rewrite the stars.” He said while tapping his chin.

...

The next day, Lisa woke up and went jogging as usual at the Villa Ada Park. Augustus was already sipping his coffee when she entered. And as usual, she started jogging ignoring people around her.

Sipping coffee in his tracksuit, with the shine of sun on him. He looked like a divine creature. Every woman was attracted to him but the one he always wanted to see him. She ignored him so easily.

Last night, when he saw her husband. He didn’t have any good physique or sharp face like him. He was just an ordinary man and yet she looked at him so affectionately. And as for him, she didn’t even have a proper look at him.

Maybe she is blind, or she is a soul-lover. A person who doesn’t pay attention to their looks but their behavior towards another human being.

God..! It’s going to be tough for me. A soul-lover seriously..? Augustus sighed lightly.

...

Colosseum Hotel.

When Lisa entered the lobby, she didn’t see anybody from the old staff.

In just one night, the whole staff had been fired and new staff had been hired. When she was in a daze, there was a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a beautiful young lady with sharp features, black shoulder-length hair neatly braided behind. Asked gently, “Are you Miss Lisa Mathew from old staff.?”

“Yes,” she replied.

“Hello, I am Anna from The Pacific Hotel.” She said, extending her hand to shake. Lisa took it with a smile on her face. “Nice to see you, Anna.”

“We all have been ordered to shift here to work. I am the new receptionist now.” Anna explained.

“What.?” Lisa exclaimed.

Just when Lisa was confused, the phone rang. Anna answered the phone.

Lisa kept staring at her blankly. If she is the new receptionist then what about her.? I can’t lose this job please God have mercy on me. She prayed silently.

Anna hung up and informed her, “Miss Lisa, President has called you in his suite.”

She nodded and headed to the elevator. All the time she was just thinking about what he’s going to say.? Is he going to fire her too.?

She took a deep breath and knocked at the door. The door was opened by Lester. He greeted Lisa politely and he was wearing his same black suit. Lisa greeted him back.

After that, Lisa entered the living room and greeted Augustus in the most mannered way. “Good Morning, Mr. Augustus Carlos.”

Augustus was looking at the window glass. He turned around and greeted her, “Good Morning, Lisa.”

Today he is wearing a silver-colored suit, he looked extremely gorgeous but Lisa as usual didn’t look at him instead she was looking down at her hands.

Augustus' mood instantly changed. From happy to being irritated by this stupid woman. However, he remained calm and asked, “Have you met the new staff.?”

“No, Not yet. Except for Anna.” She answered.

“Okay, I want you to meet all the staff and start supervising them as soon as you can,” Augustus said in a commanding tone.

“Supervising.? Me.?” Lisa asked confusingly.

“Yes. You..! I am making you the new manager of this hotel. I am turning this hotel into a 7-star hotel. It will take quite some time. By that time, you will learn and experience everything as a Manager.” Augustus explained.

“Me? Manager? Is this reward for what happened yesterday?” Lisa asked straightly.

“Well, kind of as you say,” August replied coldly.

“Errr...” Lisa was hesitating to say something.

Augustus was annoyed seeing her hesitating and said, “What? Speak.!”

“Can’t you bring old staff back.? They have been working for more than five years. Don’t you think it’s unfair.?” Lisa spoke after thinking for a while.

“What.? Did you just call me unfair.?” August said loudly.

“No..No. I don’t dare to.” Lisa immediately explained.

“I didn’t call you here to negotiate. I have offered you a job if you want it. Fine. If you don’t then please Get Out. Don’t waste my time.” He said angrily.

“I needed the job. Mr. Augustus.” Lisa said in a low voice.

“Good. Go back and start it from today.” Augustus ordered.

“Okay,” Lisa nodded and turned to leave.

Just as she was going to leave. Augustus sneered and said sarcastically, “Lisa, didn’t someone teach you manners to thank your Boss.?”

Lisa froze and turned around. “Thank you, Boss,” she said while faking a smile and clenching her fist.

Augustus looked at her and said coldly. “Good girl. Next time I won’t ask, remember.”

There was a strict warning in his tone. Lisa felt chills all over her body. She nodded to him and left hurriedly.

Augustus felt proud. At last, he has scared her. Good, she shouldn’t be using her sharp mouth in front of me, If I scared her a little. He thought, stretched his arms, and relaxed in his chair.

Just then his mobile phone rang showing the word “Mom”
