Blossoming roses of love

Continued....

Annie became the professional sales personnel when she began arranging the work-station packed with exotic fragrances from the most famous brands in the world. She kept the testers on the rack neatly and replenished the stocks of tissue paper wicks on which they spray the testers for the customers.

The reflecting, cool lamps were adjusted and she made sure all the exhibits were getting adequate visibility.
She checked the chairs for the customers, thanks to the cleaning staff, the whole place was spotlessly clean.

She looked herself at the mirror panelling between the product racks, adjusted her spectacles....good....and smiled at her reflection.

She felt cheerful and was ready to welcome another day at the shop.

By this time the whole place has become lively and she greeted all her co - workers who also were ready for the day's work ahead.

Emma has already got her first customer, a lady in her forties she guessed, who was interested in the newly launched, much hyped anti - wrinkle face cream. She looked like a tourist from South America.

"Hi Annie...morning..., How are you today" It was Steve, the manager.

"Hi Steve, me fine," Thank you, Frank gave me the envelope you handed him the other day."

"Yes, yes..it was delivered by a messenger but you were on leave that day so I couldn't give it to you."

"Oh..very kind of you, Thank you Steve."

"It's all right, have a nice day."

He walked to his cabin.

Wow...so it was delivered by a messenger !! This is really intriguing.

She wanted to go to the changing room and see what is inside that envelope immediately, but decided against it because it will be unprofessional to leave the work - station except during break - time unless it is emergency.

The outlet was run professionally, the paypackage excellent and the work place is very good. She never wanted to make a black mark. Never has she heard anyone of her colleagues complaining about the job. Of course some of the employees left for other better greener pastures but never anyone had left because of ill - treatment or unprofessional attitude from the Employer's side.

So employees were also loyal.

Just then, an elegant looking, formally dressed, diamond clad lady and her companion approached her.
The companion looked younger to her - boyfriend? Hubby?
She greeted them politely and ushered them to the plush chairs.
