Chapter 14

It’s funny how one person’s major emergency is another’s minor irritation.

I held the phone up to my ear, but not too close, and listened as Kelly ranted and raved.

“… and the customer — who didn’t even tell me their name — said that you took a photo of them when they didn’t want it taken, but I told them you wouldn’t have done that and even if you had they could ask to have it deleted from the website and then they said it wasn’t on the website but if it was on the website they’d want it removed but because it wasn’t they weren’t sure what—”

“Kelly?” I interrupted. “Where are you?”

“In the lobby of the conference suite. Anyway, the passenger then said that—”

I disconnected the call and briskly crossed the room, to see Kelly standing just outside, staring at her phone and shaking it in one hand.

“Hi, Kelly, I’m here. What’s the matter?”

“Oh! There you are thank goodness! You’ve had a complaint but it doesn’t sound like something you would have done so I don’t know what to do.”

Kelly began explaining again, about how a customer thought I’d taken a picture of her, but she didn’t want the picture to appear anywhere online.

“She said you were using a big camera, and that—”

I held up a hand to interrupt her. “I don’t have a big camera. I use a smartphone, remember? I think the passenger must have me confused with someone else. And if someone asked me to delete a picture, I’d do it right away anyway.”

“Oh. That makes sense. She said she’s going to come to my office this afternoon and I don’t know what to do though. Perhaps you should be there.”

Yeah, right.

“I think what you need to do, is consult with your superior, Kelly. It’s clearly not actually about me. Why don’t you ask the Captain? He’s full of bright ideas. I’m sure the two of you can come up with a good plan to deal with this.”

“The Captain?” Said Kelly, a tinge of excitement audible in her voice and visible as a slight glint in her eye.

“Yes, I think that would be a fine idea. You and him could work on this little problem together. I’m sure the passenger will be impressed if they see the Captain get involved, and they’ll be more likely to believe him, too, since he’s such an important authority figure.”

“You’re a genius, Addi! I guess that’s why they pay you the big bucks!”

“They do?” I asked quizzically. My pay wasn’t that great, but one good thing about working on the ship was that you didn’t get much of a chance to spend it. I was certainly saving more than I ever had in any other job I’d done.

“Well if they don’t, they should,” said Kelly happily. “I’d better scoot. I’ll see the Captain, then this passenger, and then I’ve got a million other things to be getting on with…”

“You do that. Enjoy your day and let me know if I can help with anything else.
