Teresa waved goodbye to me as she went inside. I waved back and then walked over to where Vera was sitting."Hi, stud," she said."I, uh-" What are you ...oing here, young man?" I jumped at the sound of the angry voice behind me. I was ready to turn and run for my life."Uh, hello Mrs. Gonzalez. I was just um... " Oh, hello Edward," said Vera's mother. Her angry visage became benign with a friendly smile. Clara Gonzalez was an attractive woman of about my mom's age. She could stand to lose a couple. The name of the hotel was One Central Hotel and Suites. Marie knew that this hotel was one where many foreigners stayed, so it would not be unusual for a guest to bring a Filipina “friend” to his room. A few dollars slipped to the staff made sure that nobody would comment or ask for ID. Even though there were two Filipinas would not be unusual.Jane phoned Brad before they reached the hotel, and he was waiting for them in the lobby. Marie thought of the many times that she had entered a hotel. Since it was a expensive shirt that he was wearing. He removed it and everyone were then taking cake in their hand and attacking the instructor in 10 minutes he looked like a joker in circus. We laughed like crazy. I myself pasted a big piece of icing on his chest. Lizz now wanted him covered in pastry so she was rubbing the cake on his stomach. I joined in. We left him drenched in cake. It was too much for him to take. He got up and took some cake in his hand and ran behind Lizz, Lizz ran. He. Gone are the days of businessclass, suites and unlimited entertainment allowances. I couldn't believeit but I was told to share a hotel room with a colleague on a trip toMinneapolis. Granted I doubted I'd be in the hotel room too long, butstill, it was yet another blow from the cheapskates who ran thecorporation. They probably travelled first class while the poor fools whoactually sold the stuff which paid their enormous salaries had to sharerooms.So it was with some trepidation that I checked.
