Chapter 5

I had to start work early at 6 a.m. the next morning. It was tough, but with a few cups of coffee I was making it. Around 7 a.m., Jes, Levi, the rest of the band, and their friends arrived in the same clothes they had on the night before.

I wished I could go to our back room to get something, anything, but I couldn’t leave. I was the only one working the front desk. The group looked tired. Some were wasted and loud. A few of the other people in the group tried to quiet them as they walked to the elevator.

Jes looked at me and smiled a sad smile. He didn’t stop though. He kept walking with the group to the elevators to go up to their rooms. Levi didn’t even look my way.

A little while later, I was looking outdoors when I heard someone say, “Excuse me.” My muscles tightened at the sound of the voice. It was Levi.

I sighed then looked at him. “What do you want?” I asked in a calm manner.

“That’s not how you are supposed to talk to guests,” he replied.

I just looked at him.

“How may I help you would be nice,” he said.

“And how could I do that?” I asked.

“I need to fill out one of those guest service forms. Tell them about their front desk.”

“How may I help you sir?” I said this with no emotion at all.

“Forgive me for kicking you out. We just have to do these stupid image things. You know image is everything.”

I shook my head gently and raised my eyebrows. “That’s a weak excuse. And what do you do exactly for image? All of those women?”

“No, of course not!” He sighed. “The women come in. A photographer is hired to take pictures, and then our public relations team circulates them. ‘Oh, look here is Kantana partying backstage,’ they say. Look at all the women he has blah, blah, blah. I didn’t know Jes invited you. I would have told you and your friends not to come. I don’t want you all to be a part of that. It’s all fake. And I was also . . . a little mad at you, but I understand now.”

“Look, I don’t want to talk about this here. I’m working.”

“I understand,” he said and reached for his back pocket. “Please come to the show tonight. It’s a secret one. We can talk after.” He tried to give me a black envelope.

“I don’t think so. Take your tickets with you.”

He put the envelope on the counter. “Take Talli with you,” he said and left.

I grabbed the envelope and slid it into my pocket. I couldn’t leave a black envelope lying on the counter. I gazed into at the lobby. I didn’t give his proposal one thought. I didn’t want to know what they did until 7 a.m. that morning. I didn’t care anymore what they were doing in that backstage room. I didn’t want anything to do with his life.

I would have ripped the tickets in two if it wasn’t for Talli.
