“What? Mr. Corpus sold the resort?” I almost dropped the cup of coffee in my hand in astonishment. Novae, my co-employee at the beach resort where I work, passed by the receptionist’s table and broke the news to us.
“What else?” she said, “I don’t know if the person who will buy this establishment will be as nice as Mr. Corpus.”
“But… why? This resort had been my second home since I came from Manila. He cant’ just sell it to anyone; doesn’t he think he will just throw away his sweat and tears if he would do that!” I felt enraged with Novae’s news.
“Oh, stop it, Faye! Do you have ten million pesos to buy this thing?” she said apathetically, “You better prepare yourself and treat the new owner as Mr. Corpus himself. Maybe he’s not as bad as you think…maybe.” Novae went to the restaurant and cleared the tables as the customers left.
I was wondering how things would be if the new owner comes. Will he change the rules in the resort? What will happen to Mr. Corpus now that he has sold his only “treasure”?
I have been working as a receptionist in this resort for two years now. I don’t know why I am working here. My salary is just enough for me, considering the fact that I graduated in Commerce. Maybe it’s because of the fascinating view of the beach and the appealing waves of the sea, which come to shore and drench the sand every minute.
Suddenly, Mr. Corpus came and I asked him if the news was true.
“Yes, Faye. After everything is settled, I will go to the U.S. to stay with my children there,” he answered, “The truth is, the new owner will come to the resort tomorrow and look around.”
I felt disappointed of what he told me. He tapped my shoulders and said, “I know you have learned to love this resort and I know that whoever will be your boss, I suppose you will continue to support him and take care of this resort.”
Then he went to his office. Mr. Corpus has a fatherly attitude that I cannot resist and which I know I will surely miss.
