It was a typical day at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the finest and best hotel which had a ranking of five stars for a while now. It was usually peaceful and a pleasant stay, but the people who lived in the hotel and not just temporarily visited had one issue. That was a plucky six-year-old girl named Eloise who was often spoiled and got away with everything because everybody loved her mother and nanny so much. A young woman entered the building, her eyes wide and looking large behind a pair of glasses. She was in awe of the fabulous hotel and looked a little lost though.
"Good day..." the doorman nodded to her as he stood by.
"Hello, um... I'm supposed to start work here today, but I don't know who I need to see." the young woman said. She figured he could at least point her in the right direction.
"Oh, go to the lobby," the doorman told her. "It's the big desk in the center and there, you'll meet a guy named Mr. Salamone, you should go see him since he's the hotel manager."
The elevator dinged which brought out the plucky little blonde girl who did a ballerina twirl on her way out and was skipping along, doing what she called her morning route.
"Oh, thank you." she smiled, walking into the hotel to do that. She hummed as she went inside, not noticing the girl as she did though.
The doorman smiled back and allowed her to go as he looked out the door for more people to come in. The blonde girl skipped along, she spotted the new person and looked curious of her and decided to 'skitter' along over to her.
The woman almost knocked over Eloise, but managed to be graceful enough to make it so it was like a dip in a dance. "Careful there, little one." she smiled, though it was a little nervous.
"I'm always careful," Eloise replied before giving a cheerful smile. "Hi! I'm Eloise, I am six!" she then did a small twirl once she stood up on her two feet again. "I haven't seen you around here before."
"Well hello, I'm Callie and I'm actually supoosed to start work here today." she smiled, a soft giggle as the girl was amusing though in the good way.
"Do you know where the lobby is?" Eloise asked while she did some stretches as she never really did like to stop moving.
"Not really, would you show me the way please?" She asked softly.
"Of course, come along then, let's skitter." Eloise nodded as she gently took the older one's hand to lead her to the lobby's desk.
The hotel manager known as Mr. Salamone was speaking with another woman known as Miss Thompson as he seemed to be expecting someone right now. Once Eloise came to the desk, she rang the bell several times and waited for attention/assistance.
The manager swiped the bell as he looked down to the blonde girl who he found to be rather annoying. "Yes, Eloise?"
"Someone wants to see you." Eloise introduced.
Callie blushed a little from how Eloise had just spoke like that, though she was grateful. "Hello, are you Mr Salamone?" She asked quietly but respectfully.
"Why yes, yes, I am," Mr. Salamome replied. "Are you the new helper that's come by for a job?"
"Yes sir, Callie Summers." she says, reaching a hand out to shake his.
"Ah, welcome to the Plaza," Mr. Salamone shook her hand. "Excuse me a moment," he said before turning to Miss Thompson. "Watch the desk for me, please."
Miss Thompson nodded to him in approved agreement.
"Come with me, please." Mr. Salamone told Callie.
Callie looked down at Eloise. "Thank you; Miss Eloise, I'll see you later maybe?" She smiled.
"Okay... I'll be along, if you wanna come up to my room, I'm on the tippy-top floor!" Eloise smiled back.
"Okay, yes, thank you, Eloise, bye-bye now." Mr. Salamone sounded rushed.
Eloise then went along to do other things around the lobby.
"Miss, I am so sorry," Mr. Salamone told his future new employee. "If she's caused you any trouble, I'll be sure to get you any help you may need. Luckily on weekday afternoons, she'll be busy for a few hours."
"Oh, no, it's fine Mr Salamone, in fact; she helped me find my way here." she smiled. She hoped she wasn't late, she tried not to be.
Mr. Salamone looked at the time. "You're a little earlier than I expected, but come right this way, Ms. Summers." he then offered to lead her to his office.
Callie followed him, ready to learn what her job would enquire, and to discuss everything thst would need discussing. Mr. Salamone shut his office door behind them and sat behind his table as she sat at the chair at the end. He told her what she would need to do, where she would have to go, and what times to meet and then started to ask what her strengths and weaknesses were. Callie told him how she was good with kids, dedicated, she was usually punctual and once she learned how to do a job she wouldn't need reminding how to do it. However she also told him how she wasn't good with confrontations, and how she could sometimes be clumsy if distracted.
Mr. Salamone took note of most of what she said. "Do you think you can handle this job?" he then calmly asked the young woman.
"Yes sir, I'll do my very best to keep the hotel as above five star." Callie smiled.
"That's what I like to hear," Mr. Salamone gave a smile back. "Now, tell me, do you have any experience?"
Callie nodded. "I worked as a maid in a lesser hotel, but when they had to let a few people go; I was one of the chosen due to my age, but I have my reference from my boss." she says, handing it to him.
"I see..." Mr. Salamone accepted the reference.
Callie bit her lip as she waited for him to check it over.
Mr. Salamone hummed in silence as he did a check over, he seemed very intimidating in the process. "Well, I hope you enjoy your time at the Plaza, Miss Summers." he then said as he put the reference down for now.
Callie smiled. "I definitely got the job?" She asked trying not to seem too excited, though she was excited.
"I'll have to run this over with a few checks with the others, but it looks good so far," Mr. Salamone stood up. "For future refernece though, welcome to the Plaza Hotel family."
"Thank you." Callie smiled, shaking his hand gently.
Mr. Salamone gently shook back. "I'm sure Rose and Esperanza will love having you as well."
Callie nodded and smiled. "Thank you, sir." she said gratefully. She stood up and prepared to go and maybe take a small look around if she was allowed to.
"Thank you for your time." Mr. Salamone then stood up to leave his office, but he waited at the door and allowed her to go before him.
"Thank you for yours, sir, might I take a look around, please?" she smiled softly.
"Yes, you may, would you like someone to help show you around?" Mr. Salamone replied gently.
"If it's not too much trouble." Callie smiled, feeling happier than she had for a while.
"Let me search for someone." Mr. Salamone said as he then shut the door behind them and went back over to behind his desk.
Eloise was on her way to the kitchen to see her most favorite person in the hotel and he had mutual feelings as he seemed to be one of the few hotel employees who never found her to be a bother or an annoyance. She then looked over as Callie left Mr. Salamone's office and looked very curious. Callie waited to find out who could maybe take her for a tour. She smiled softly and tucked her hair behind her ear. Mr. Salamone talked about tour arrangements with Miss Thompson after he returned to his desk. Eloise skipped over to Callie and tugged on her clothes slightly to get her attention.
Callie blinked then glanced down. "Oh, hello again." she smiled happily.
"Hi!" Eloise smiled. "Wanna know what I like to do? Help my new friends!"
"That's a great thing to do!" Callie agreed. "I'm just waiting for a tour, I start work here soon." she told the little blonde.
"Oh, um, Eloise, don't you have something to do upstairs?" Mr. Salamone asked with a forced and nervous smile.
"Yeah, I'll show Miss Callie around!" Eloise said as she held onto the edges of his desk, standing on her tippy toes.
"I think she needs more professional help, Eloise..." Mr. Salamone replied.
"Please, I know this place better than the back of my own hand." Eloise insisted.
Callie gave a smile. She wouldn't take sides, but she wouldn't mind Eloise's tour.
"Eloise..." Mr. Salamone said through his teeth.
"Please, I'll be good, I promise..." Eloise insisted.
Mr. Salamone sighed, then looked to Callie. "I can find someone professional, really... Besides, you're going to need a load of a aspirin once she's through with you."
"I don't mind sir, that way, no one's work would be disturbed, and I get my good tour from Miss Eloise." she smiled.
"They do have a point, sir." Miss Thompson agreed with Eloise being Callie's tour guide.
Mr. Salamone released a sharp sigh. "Very well... Eloise, you can show Ms. Summers around the hotel."
"YES!" Eloise cheered in victory.
Callie gave a small giggle. The girl was cute.
"Run along then..." Mr. Salamone sighed to the child.
"Come on!" Eloise gently took Callie's hands. "Let's skitter!"
Callie followed Eloise, looking amused and excited.
