Business trip
Dark…. Darkness is my only salvation. I’m alone… always alone.
…
- Alli, wake up! We have to go to the casino. Come on Alli, please wake up.
- Okay, okay Sang I’m awake … Why the hell we have to go to the casino in our only free day.
- I don’t know but Mac called and asked us to go there as fast as possible. Maybe some VIP client has come and they need us. You know how it is. we are always the f****d ones.
- Yet, we still work there.
- Well, you know, till it gives me pleasure I will work for Mac.
Alli and Sang started preparing for work. Both of them were colleagues at the casino, but not only that, they were also sisters even thou they had no blood relation. They were orphans, but not the ordinary ones, they both had loving families until one day, a so called “accident” took the lives of their most beloved ones. The girls live in America, more specific in Las Vegas, and they work for one of the biggest casinos in the city – Cosmopolitan casino. They were one of the top dealers (live game) in there and a lot of the VIP clients won’t play with anyone else but them. Alexandra is not your typical beauty, she has long red hair, almost falling to the waist, light brown eyes that if you see in sunlight, they change their color to dark gold. With her porcelain skin and her back covered with tattoos, she was very attractive for the opposite s*x. Sang on the other hand is the traditional beauty, long black curly hair covering her waist, light blue eyes, and slight tan of her skin. The one thing that they both have are the tattoos covering their entire back.
Alli was taking shower while Sang was preparing her make up. They were used to be always in a hurry and also always to be called from the casino for a extra shift.
- Alli are you ready?
- Yes sunshine, I just need to put my lipstick and we can go.
- Alli please tell me that this time you put a little bit more make up, I can never make you put something more than a mascara and lipstick on your face.
- Nope, you know me Sang, I don’t like to put these things on my face, and if Mac has a problem with it, well... he can go to hell and he knows it.
The girls took the elevator from their apartment, which was privet and they headed to the parking lot.
- Sunshine would you mind if we take my car this time?
- Mhhhhmm, why not. We haven’t drove yours in a long time.
Alli had white Suzuki Vitara 2019. She was a fan of big cars, while Sang preferred smaller ones, so she had blue Audi S4.
With Alli’s driving they arrived at the casino quite fast. All of the staff working there was supposed to enter from the back entrance, which was made specifically for them, except the TOP dealers. They were allowed to enter the casino from the main entrance, and since the girls had no idea why they were called to go to work on their free day they choose the main entrance which was also leading to their boss’ office.
- Mac, why the hell you called us here in such a hurry? You know that I hate coming to work on my free days. – said Alli
Mac was a handsome man, managing the entire casino, but also specifically taking care of the live game.
- Alli, you came pretty fast. - said Mac with pleased look on his face. - Happy to see you… and about why I called you so urgently, I have a proposal for both of you and I need you to decide right now, because if you agree you will have to leave tomorrow morning.
- And what is that proposal of yours that you need me and Alli to come? … Come on Mac spill it out. – said Sang
- Okay, I will need you two to go in Atlanta, of course you won’t be alone, Mike is gonna come with you.
- Why the hell you want us to go in Atlanta Mac? You know that both with Sang don’t really like being send to another casinos.
- Alli we have big problem in out casino there and we need dealers that are capable enough to train the others. The casino is losing money from the live game department, and they asked for help. They need experienced dealers that will be capable to train all of the people from the live game. If they don’t show any improvement not only in the numbers but also in capabilities, the owner said that he will close them.
- But why us Mac? Alli and me… we aren’t really the best choice and you know it. All of the dealers we’ve been training hate us.
- I know that but you are also the one that I know are capable to make them work. That’s why I want you to go.
- I don’t know Mac…. Sunshine… what do you think of that? Should we agree?
- Can we say no? Look at his puppy eyes. Can you say no to that look?
- Alright, alright Mac you win this time. We will go. Where we have to sigh for the business trip?
- Here and here please, two signatures from both of you.
After they sigh the documents, Mac invited them for a cup of coffee before they leave. Thinking what they should pack Alli remembered that they agreed but the never asked him for how long they will have to be away.
- Mac, I forgot to ask you for how long we will be in Atlanta? - asked Alli
- Well… mmmm…. I… probably for….
- Come on spill it out, for how long we sigh the agreement? Mac … tell us right away. … Alli, I think he tricked us.
- For one year – told them Mac
- WHAT? – screamed Alli
- Say that again. – said Sang
- Are you insane? – Alli was losing her nerves
- You played us. I can’t believe it. – said Sang while she was holding her head.
- You would never agree if I had told you at the beginning. Think of it as a vacation. A chance to be away from everyone and everything. The work there is not so much as it’s here and you will have more free days. I have already arranged for you to have 3 free days every week, and after you finish training the dealers you will have 5 days payed vacation only for yourself.
Alli and Sang looked at each other with regret, but they knew that it was too late already, so they just decided to leave without saying anything, otherwise they can make a great scandal before they leave for Atlanta. They spent the way back to their home in silence, each one of them thinking that the hell they will be doing in Atlanta for a whole year. After the went home they decided to start packing their clothes and after that to pick some of their furniture which they will take with them.
The whole night went pretty quickly for the two girls. In the morning the called a company that will transport their furniture and the rest of their luggage to Atlanta. Their flight was scheduled for 12 o’clock at lunch, so after they arranged the transport of their stuff they prepared and they left for the airport. At the entrance Mike was waiting for them, but he also looked in a bad mood.
- Hay Mike, you don’t look very happy to be here.
- Sang you hit the jackpot. I was tricked by Mac to sigh the business trip papers without knowing that I will have to stay there for an entire year.
- Same as us Mike. Me and Sang got tricked too. But you know how Mac is acting when he decides something. He will always get what he wants. I’m starting to suspect that this is his special power.
The three of them burst out laughing. Soon enough they forgot that they were mad at their boss for tricking them.
- Please all the passengers for flight 737 for Atlanta for 12 o’clock to prepare for checking into the plane. - announced the dispatcher on the microphone
- Come on guys, let’s go. Whether we want it or not we have to go on board. Sang, sunshine can you give me my cigarettes?
- Yeah, here.
- Thank you.
- Alli don’t tell me that you intend to smoke on the plane. You know it’s forbidden.
- Mike, relax I just want to put them in my bag. Come on. Let’s get on the plane.
The three of them checked on the plane and prepared themselves for this unwanted business trip that they got themselves in.
