The Special Omega

chapter 08

I got the job, Yay. And I can't wait to tell granny about it. I'm so excited, and so scared at the same time. I'm supposed to manage a restaurant, for the first time in my life. That's just too much work for me.

I'm also thinking the guy must granny a big favor, to even allow someone inexperienced as me to run one of the biggest hotels I think. I've never been in a top class hotel before, but leaving with Kamila, I know what it is supposed to look like.

And what if I'm not a good manager. This could cost the whole hotel. I'm don't want to be the reason this place falls to the ground. I would been fine with just serving and being in the kitchen. I've done a lot of that in my life at least.

Diana shows me around the hotel and introduces me to the staff. Most of them seem nice, and of course there are some who don't think much of me.

But I at least felt welcomed at some extent. And this maybe the start of my new life. And hopefully I can make the best of it.

Time flew by pretty fast.

Outside the hotel, I met someone waiting for me when I was already leaving for home.

"Miss Summers?" The gentleman approaches me the moment I step out. He's wearing a nice tailored suit, with perfectly styled hair. Middle age but with a lot of charm.

"Yes, that's me?" I say a little bit dumbfounded. A bit worried what he might be on about.

"I'm James Carter? An agent at Beaulieu Real Estates," he introduces him. I listen closely, as how that has anything to do with me. Well I'm working at a hotel, this might be one of their partners. They are not far from each other anyways.

"Nice to meet you Sir," I respond offering my hand. Shockingly the guy gives me keys instead of shaking it. What safe am I opening with these?

Maybe keys of some of the rooms in the hotel. Maybe Brandon sent him.

"Keys?" I inquire raising my eyebrow. I honestly didn't know what to do with them.

"Keys to your new house. I can drive you there if you're free," he says. A bombshell.

" A house? " I jolt with amusement. I never expected anything like that. He must be mistaken. Surely he's looking for someone else other than me.

" Yes. A gift from a friend, " he smiles walking to what I'm supposed is his car. I'm still thunderstruck trying to figure out everything. Almost feels like a dream.

" Granny... " I mutter shaking my head. She's just trying so hard to make me feel comfortable in this place. First the job, and now a place to stay? That's a sharp headstart. It's not like starting your own thing from scratch. I don't even know where I would have gone, in this place that I don't even know.

It's a scary thought. But at the same time, I think granny is babying me. I should be able to build my own self, and make my own decisions. And I think will all that money, I would be able to find an apartment, until my first paycheck.

I'm a manager, so the pay should be good, I'm confident enough about that. This place is huge and from what I've heard and seen. It's top class.

" What if I reject the offer? " I ask. The guy seem stunned by my question. Or even thinks I'm stupid that, I would reject such an amazing offer. Who would reject a free house?

"Well I'm not given much of a choice, but to help you find another place to stay. That's my number one priority at the moment. To make sure you have a nice and safe place to stay, " he responds with even a bit of disappointment in his voice. That sounded shocking still. And I know granny would be angry if I don't take the house.

And would be breathing down my neck about finding a new place. And I don't want to trouble this gentleman. Surely he has better things to do than run up and down making sure I get a place to sleep.

Maybe I should just stop thinking to much about it and just accept it. After all it's not about getting it, it about keeping it. And that's what is more important, at this point. Or else I might wind in the streets of a foreign land.

" Well fine, maybe I'll accept the offer, " I reply. He smiles seemingly delighted to hear me say that. Like he was almost scared of me rejecting everything. I hope granny is not threatening people for my sake.

" Thank you. I'm so relieved to hear that, " he says with clear relief in his face. He walks inside the car and I shake my head in disbelief as I go to the other side. "So you're new to Whien Frya ?

" Yeah. Only a few hours, " I chuckle. Thinking I've not even spent a week in this.

"And you already gotten a job? That's amazing. You have really good connection, I must say," he states. Not me, but granny sure. I mean she's managed to get me a job in only twenty four hours and a place to stay.

"Yeah. It feels a bit like spoon feeding though. It's good to start from the bottom and wake your way up." I really do feel like granny is spoon feeding me. I'm 18 and I'm an adult for crying out loud.

"I see. Feel like you've got something to prove?" Maybe I actually do feel that way. I feel like I should prove to people I'm strong enough. That I'm not this weak Omega everyone thinks I am.

"Yeah maybe. I've been under estimated all my life and it's been very difficult dealing with rejection from everyone."

"I feel you. But there's nothing wrong with giving someone a head start and an opportunity to prove themselves. You just have to think outside the box, and turn what you already have into something great, " he says. Well, I hope I can. At this point, I'm having all the doubt.

" Well, let's hope it all works out for me, " I sigh looking out the window. The ride continues silent though it's not long. Soon we are at a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood.

Hopefully people here, are as nice as this place looks.

We stop in front of a huge yard at last. This looks as big as my old house, only that it's mine.

The trees, the green, the flowers, just my type of environment. It looks amazing but expensive too. Everything seems to be carved to perfection. As though it was carefully planned and present with great diligence and care.

" Well let me show you inside, " he opens the remote control gate. We walk inside, and it has that home welcoming feel. I love the garden, and the person seems to know that. It's perfect and for some reason I can't wait to spend my days in this beautiful yard.

Inside the house, same thing. Beautiful and clean. It's all so exciting. So cozy and warm, it's a hearty place. It's a full home with everything you need.

"Also something else I want to show you," he adds. What could that be? I wonder. I'm starting to believe I have enough surprises for one day.

This guy leads me to the garage. And there it is. A brand new car. I don't even know how to drive. What am I supposed to do with a car, when I don't even have a license?

"I heard you don't know how to drive. So I was also asked to teach you," he continues. I just stare at him awe struck. I don't know how to react. Whether to be sad or happy. I just don't know what to feel.

"Thank you Mr Carter. This amazing. Can I have a minute?"

"Of course." I walk out of the garage pulling out my phone. Immediately I start dialing granny.

"Hello?" She sounds on the phone.

"Hello Granny, it's me Amber," I respond.

“Hey baby how are you doing? Is everything okay?" She questions sounding a bit worried.

“ Everything is perfectly fine. And guess what, I got the job and a place to stay. " I say excited almost. "And thank you for everything you've done for me," I add.

" Woah slow down bit? You say what? “ She sounds really shocked.

" I have a job and place to stay. And so thank you for everything. You've really helped me a lot.“

"Well I'm so happy to hear that. It's been only a few hours and seems like you're pulling everything together. I'm so proud of you.“

"It's all thanks to you. I appreciate everything you've done for me. But you don't have to worry about me now. I'm fine, and I can't thank you enough for everything."

"You don't have to thank me sweetie. I'm just everything I possibly can to make sure you are well. You've been having a hard time with Veronica, and I'm glad you're free," she responds.

"I know Nana. Thank you and I definitely owe you for all this."

"As long as you are able to pull it together and live your best life, that's more than enough to pay me. Make yourself proud, " she tells. I fight tears from my eyes, as wave of stimulus sensations wash over me. So many feelings at once. And even said I'll be away from granny for possible a long time.

" Thank. I will. And mostly make you proud. I love you Nana and you don't have to worry about me anymore. "

" I love you too angel."

" Bye Nana. I'll call you back, " I finally put down the phone, feeling moved. Almost like crying.

It's going to be a tough one. I don't even know if I can make it happen.
