My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Half a year ago, a resort hotel was built by the Hovell lake. After I finished my shift at the restaurant, I'd go for cleaning duties at the hotel. Working was not hard, mostly because it was close to Anne's kindergarten. So, it was always convenient for me to go pick her up.

In the evening, after I cleaned up the hotel, I'd get changed and get ready to pick Anne up.

Norman Zelson, who was leaning against the doorframe, stared at me and asked, "You're going to pick Anne up now?"

I nodded and looked back at him. He was a tall and handsome man despite being in his early forties. "Do you need me to pick Bennett up?" I offered.

He smiled and shook his head. Then, he raised his eyebrows, "What I meant was let's go together since we're heading the same way."

Norman was the manager of the hotel. He was my interviewer when I joined the hotel. When he looked at my resume, he was a little confused and asked, "You graduated from a famous university. Why are you applying to be a cleaner?"

I grinned and said, "No job is too lowly or noble to do. Plus, a cleaner's salary doesn't look too bad."

He lifted his eyebrows. Indeed, all other positions in the hotel had a trial and a promotion period.
