Pam POV
Me and Kate are just sitting there staring at her in disbelief.
"What, what's wrong? Why are y'all just staring at me?" Sarah asks with wide eyes.
" Well you see the thing is…." I try to explain.
" YOU WERE FLOATING IN THE F**KING AIR AND YOUR SKIN FELT LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE… Then there was that d**n light." Kat starts yelling and pacing, she's in a full panic now.
" I wouldn't have put it like that and will you calm down. Don't need you waking the little gust we have." With that statement we all stop and stare at each other wide eyed.
" The party." Sarah whispers.
"The f**king cake." Kate says while slapping her head.
"He is going to kill us if anything goes wrong." I say, shaking my head.
Our boss Larry had gone on "Vacation". We all know it's because he really doesn't want to deal with this party. He really didn't want to book it but we told him we would handle everything. He warned us if anything went wrong…. Well we are going to make sure nothing goes wrong. Luckily the guests are not supposed to arrive until later this afternoon and the party isn't until tonight.
"Ok, let's all just calm down. The guest won't be here for a while. Kate the kitchen is hooked up to the back up generators. If anyone has checked in they should still be sleeping, that should give us enough time to clean up this mess and get the power back on." I reassured them while trying to stay calm. I am the assistant manager here at the Golden Globe and I am not going to risk our chances to prove we can run this place all on our own.
"Right. Let's all just get ready and start our day and we'll talk about your dream tomorrow." Kate reassured Sarah while putting her level head back on.
We assess our surroundings as best we could with my phone light. Sarah manages to find her phone that got knocked off the end table and turns her light on. There is broken glass everywhere from the light bulbs exploding.
"Ok so we need new light bulbs. Is that the only damage?" Sarah asks while stepping around the glass in her room.
" Well the mirror in the bathroom is shattered as well." I state while pointing in that direction.
"We should walk around and make sure all the guest rooms are straight before a lot of people start coming in." I say hoping they will help me before scattering to do their own jobs.
"Ok, let's get to work cleaning this mess up." Kate says while going to the closet to get the broom and dustpan.
Some time later….
We have just finished sweeping up all the glass and getting dressed for the day.
Beep,beep,beep.
My phone is ringing but where is it?
"Here I got it, you have several missed calls." Sarah passes it to me. It starts ringing again. It's a number I don't know, so it must be a guest.
"Hello, this is Pamela, assistant manager at the Golden…" I don't get to finish, I am met with a menacing growl from the other end.
"Hey man, calm down, I'll handle it." I hear a man in the background say before taking the phone.
"I've been trying to call for the past forty-five minutes. What type of assistant manager are you?" I can hear another man say. I'm guessing that is who just growled at me. It's too early for this and I'm trying to keep my mouth from making anything worse. Sarah is looking at me with wide eyes as Kate is mouthing do it, unleash the Beast.
"I'm sorry about that mama, my friend is a grouch first thing in the morning." The calmer male voice says.
"It's ok I understand not everyone is a morning person. So what can I do for you gentlemen this morning?" I replied while mentally counting to ten.
" Well we woke to no power this morning and my friend was wondering what was going on. Is there an issue that we should know about?" His voice was laced with concern.
"No sir, it's just a blown circuit breaker. We are on our way to fix it now." I reassured him. I am mortified I didn't think anyone would be here or up right now. They must have come in late last night while Lary was working at the desk.
" Ok. Do you need a hand, I don't mind helping a damsel." Did he just say that? Is he flirting with me?
Sarah is working hard to suppress a giggle. Kate has had enough, before I can stop here she is yelling her answer to the man on my phone.
"No, we don't need any man coming to our rescue…."
"No kind sir, we have everything under control. If that is all we really should be getting to that circuit breaker." I managed to cover up the rest of what Kate was going to say. There is a reason we let her stay in the kitchen. She isn't the best with people but she is the best when it comes to food.
"Who was that?" He asked kind of low and under his breath.
"O just our head chef,but we really do have to go. We will send someone to check on you all in just a few. Sorry for the inconvenience." I say really quickly before hanging up. Kate and her mouth.
"Come on, let's get this day over with before I get any more calls like that." I say while heading out the door.
