Hollywood Zenith

After telling them that he would be home before dinner, he checked time to see there was still more than six hours that he could spare.

His destination was away from the prosperous sector of the city where they had been just few minutes ago. Now that he landed in the unfamiliar territory, he stick out like sore thumb wearing expensive clothes while hiding his face.

Looking around he found a small shop, it was just right and the clothes seemed ordinary too. He quickly bought few of them and changed his appearance.

Looking at the mirror, even such cheap clothes looked extraordinary when he wore them. Touching hus silver hair he didn't know what to do about them so he kept wearing his hat and also tucked few strands that were hanging along the edges to be inconspicuous.

There were several good quality backpacks in the store so he bought one and stuffed his expensive clothes, mask and sunglasses. Although he occasionally buys expensive things, he felt it would be a waste to leave it behind beside most of his things were bought by Mayra, he didn't want to part with it.

After paying, he walked along the sidewalk heading toward his destination. He only came here once but never lingered for more than few minutes, it was good to take in the sight of old buildings and landmarks.

There was no sun and the temperature was just right for him to venture. It might be unbearable for others without some winter clothes but he was fine in his tshirt combined with a heavy shirt. The jeans were lose and he was wearing some expensive shoes but it didn't matter as most people wouldn't know this brand, even of they did they would think of it as first copy product.

Within minutes he reached the place he was searching for, the business was booming with an occupancy rate of more than sixty percent. It was lunch time so most of the office worker in the vicinity came to have their meal since it was much more affordable than surrounding stores.

He still gathered some attention because of his sunny and handsome face but he ignored everyone. There were few courageous girl eho directly came to ask for his number but he politely refused.

Only handful of people had his personal phone number, how could he gave it away so easily? These girls were not bad but he didn't want to jump into muddy waters. Seeing so many beautiful girls, he knew there must be a large college or university in the vicinity.

Looking at the door of the lodge, he found an interesting poster. There was a recruitment notice for a waiter. He could tell the lodge was short on staff, many people were waiting for the server to take their orders.

There was many places to sit, the door was completely open and several large tables were arranged outside to make up the numbers.

Maybe there was a sudden influx of customers and hence they urgently needed some outside help. He thought for a second and peeked inside and sighed. It seemed his 'target' was not here.

He walked inside and peeked into the back kitchen seeing the coast was clear. His sudden arrival did cause slight uproar among guest who were fascinated by his charm but soon it subsided.

This lodge was a family run store and had been operating for several years, there were many regular customers and they also received some foreign customers as it was famous among those backpackers who were trying to save money during their travels.

At first everyone thought it was another customer looking for a room but Samuel came forward but the people at the counter told him that there was no vacancy.

" I am not here to get a room but I saw the job advertisement outside. Is it still available?" He said softly.

" Huh? Are you looking for a job?" The middle aged women was surprised. She take another look at the young man, there was no hint of deception.

A warm smile plastered on his face and he looked strong but from looking at his attire, it was obvious they were newly bought. She looked lower and couldn't see his hands were firm but there didn't seem be any indication that he did any hard labour in his life. Still he looked strong.

" Yes, Is the wages paid on hourly basis? I couldn't stay here for long so-"

" Yes, yes. We can pay your wages on daily basis. You just need to write down customers orders and remember to bring correct order back to their specific table. There are a lot of tables so you have to have a good memory because it's not labelled."

" What if they asked for details about the dishes?"

" You can leave it to other staff. What we need now is someone strong and fast, most of our staff is not young. Can you handle it?" She asked again.

For some reason she really wanted to hire this young man, he looked extraordinary. There was bound to some customers who would come here just to look at his face!

If he could just smile and greet them, she had an inkling the lodge would profit greatly! It could be said, there was no need for someone like him to work, he could just go to any modelling industry and apply for a job!

The only reason she could think why he wanted to work was, he was still a student or a backpacker who lacked money. Either way, it would be a huge loss if she let this opportunity go!

" When can I start?" He said unbuckling his backpack. Although it was not heavy, he knew the middle aged woman was interested in him. He already knew her indentity but he kept quiet for now, trying not to alarm her.

" Can you start now? We really need help." She said with a smile. It wouldn't be late for her to explain it her husband later.

" Okay." Samuel said and grabbed the uniform given to him. After changing he started his 'job' as a waiter!
