“How are you doing this morning? Annika was a bit astonished when the new skipper, Captain Bjorn Jansen, welcomed her and even recognized her name. "Good morning, Captain Jansen. You must be Carl's buddy, Annika.Annika looked at the new captain and felt like she was seeing Captain Magnus in him. They have the same gray eyes; the new captain is taller, but when they speak English, it sounds the same to Annika. Carl told me a lot about you; we were classmates during university in Kalmar; we were friends.He told Annika about his college exploits with Carl and how choosy Carl was with ladies. Annika was just enjoying every tale the new captain was giving. The new captain comes off as nicer and more approachable than Captain Magnus.The new Captain then starts to talk about some things he knows about the Philippines, such a little bit of history and some terms in Filipino, which Annika thinks he picked up through working with so many Filipinos.

Captain Jansen called Annika, "Hi Annika, would you kindly get me some drinks here in my office? "I'm too busy to go down to Lido bar." Annika prepared the captain's order right away; she didn't want him to wait.Annika entered the captain's office, thinking he would have some visitors or be in a conference and in need of some drinks, but there was only him there. This was the space where they would always be together, but now she is just a bartender bringing the new captain a drink.The room is exactly as it was when Carl departed, save for the absence of his personal possessions. The newbie is just the captain. She was requested to carry the drinks to Captain Jansen's table, and he complimented her on her prompt arrival by saying, "I think I need to have more drinks every day so I can see you, especially when I am busy."At first, Annika doesn't grasp it and is unsure of how to reply to the captain's remarks. However, Annika has seen something that makes her uneasy: every time he sp
Captain Jansen's departure from Annika's stateroom brought her some solace because she finds the new captain to be unsettling. She gave what Captain Jansen had said to her earlier some attention before going back to sleep. There is something alluring about touching each other's body when sharing a bed with someone.She realized how much she suddenly missed having someone by her side; she misses Carl and how he made her feel so contented and at ease. Then she suddenly had the need to be made to feel good. She regrets how Carl turned her body into his fantasy world. Her entire body tingled at the slightest touch of his.She then tried to arouse herself by closing her eyes. She begins by being more aware of herself and seeking out the desires of her body. She makes little circles on her hot spot while lightly and firmly touching her genitalia under the sheet, focusing her attention on the wonderful sensation it provides her.In an effort to contract and relax her muscles, she curled her
It was the year 1997, Happy Hearts Day to most and Valentine’s Day to all lovers, when the song "As Long as you Love Me" by the well-known boy band of the 90's came out. The most played songs at the time were playing on the radio. Annika’s favorite song is one she loves to sing and dance to while putting on her cosmetics to get ready for work. She wears her pink lipstick as she feels cute and flirtatious wearing it. Annika makes sure she has her mascara on because it enhances and accentuates her beautiful eyes. Her long wavy hair gives off a sensual vibe, emphasizing her prominent shoulders. Should I put on this olive-green dress today? Or perhaps I mix my black jeans with an orange blouse along with a pair of boots? " As she spoke to herself. She is excited to get ready for work as it is Friday, and Bruce, an American customer with whom she had a big crush, will come to dine at the Mediterranean Restaurant where she works as a receptionist. Bruce, a Motorola the big boss will be comi
Though Annika enjoyed her work so much, it has not been an easy process to deal with the owner of the company. The business owner has not always been straightforward. Pay is occasionally late and wages are too low. The workday is longer than the typical eight hours. Months after month, Annika has had her decision to leave the company and look for another job as a receptionist in a five-star restaurant or to work in a five-star hotel. Annika thinks she needs a more decent job than working in a bar or club. It was very hard for her to just leave Industria as she knew Bruce would come one night and she was not there anymore. She did not tell any of her club colleagues where she will be transferred for her new job. She doesn’t even know if she can find work. All she knew is that she wanted to apply for a job as a restaurant receptionist in a hotel or a five-star restaurant. And what’s hurting her is how much she will miss Bruce as her customer, as her friend. Annika always asked herself,
Arriving at the La Gondola, it appears that everyone is busy getting the restaurant ready for the day. Waiters are setting up the tables, and the workers in the galleys are all busy preparing all the ingredients that will be used to prepare food for any upcoming food orders for the day. It seems like no one noticed her entrance at all. Then the owner's secretary, Pipa, came down from the office, welcoming Annika and accommodating her. "Hey Annika, come and follow me. I’ll show you around and introduce you to everyone." Annika just followed Pipa is a tall woman with light brown skin, a very slender build, and very short, curly hair. She showed her the locker room, where Annika could leave her belongings and keep them, as well as the employee's comfort room, the employee's pantry room to eat lunch or dinner, and the nap room, where employees could take a nap in the afternoon because they work a split lunch and dinner shift. Afterward, Pipa showed Annika where the bar is for before and a
Another day, another dollar, "Annika whispered" as she woke up early in the morning. She's anxious to come to work as she'll be meeting one of the owners today, Chef Bill. He is an Irish native who came to Manila to work as a chef in a five-star hotel and eventually opened his own Mediterranean restaurant, which is popular among celebrities, politicians, and ex-pats. "I need to look my best today." Annika thought. As she prepares to come to work, she arrived early at La Gondola and checked to make sure all her reservations were confirmed. She helped the waiters assemble the tables and verify that the quantity of chairs matched the number of reservations. One guest per table. The flowers are then prepared and placed on top of each table. Before her lunch shift began, she went about her typical morning routine at La Gondola. Ensure the placement of the chairs and tables and all the flowers are aligned and look elegant.Then a tall, white man in a white t-shirt and faded pants who appear
It’s six o'clock in the evening. Annika is prepared to welcome all of the night's visitors. She has a lot of reservations again. La Gondola is constantly crowded and filled, especially at night. Annika walked all the guests in, and when all were seated and everyone was enjoying their dinner, she went back to the reception area to see if any other guests would be arriving after dinnertime. "Nope! everyone is here already." So, she sits in her high chair and checks her reservation book for the next day. For some reason, Annika noticed that it became silent as the other guests were eating their dinner. It seemed like she was not hearing anything at all. She became quiet and thought about Bruce, just looking at a blank wall with the hanging picture towards the entrance stairs. Suddenly, a man appears, going upstairs in a pink Lacoste polo and a pair of jeans. He had all his gray eyes straightly looking at Annika's eyes in astonishment and hesitation. He was climbing up the steps slowly w

The ship had already anchored in Sydney at six in the morning, and most of the crew, including Captain Magnus, were signing off for their break. The sky is really gloomy, and it doesn't appear like the sun will rise any time soon.Annika awoke early, although she is unsure of her emotions for some reason. Her heart hurts, but she is powerless to stop what is taking place. All of this, she wishes, was just a dream. Why do I feel this way? "I feel so empty. She was merely sitting in her cabin, her eyes appearing to have been wet for days. "My heart is so empty," she said.Carl, who is normally on the bridge whenever they are docking at a port, has been up since previous night. He assists the other officers in steering the ship safely into the dock. Annika, on the other hand, is prohibited from leaving the ship since she is under port manning. When Carl got off the ship in Sydney, she had intended to meet him there, but that is not going to happen. When Annika had to leave the ship, Jacq
"Mom! What’s going on? "Took a while for you to answer the phone?" Annika asked her mother, Carmen. "You must be daydreaming again." She added. "Oh, I just found some article in the newspaper that reminds me of something, but anyway, how are you doing?" Carmen asked.Captain Magnus is leaving for vacation in three days, so I'm a little upset about that, Annika said. Where are you today, Carmen enquired. Annika was explaining this to her mother, "I am in Auckland, New Zealand; I intended to go out today and check on you, but as I read the list of port manning in Sydney, I won't be allowed to go out to contact you, which is why I phoned you earlier.Annika is attempting to express her thoughts to her mother by saying, "Mom, I have something to tell you; I think I am in love with Carl." She said, "Life at sea is so hard without someone to talk to at night. The sad part is he is departing soon. I am not sure how I am going to live without him." Annika is being heard by Carmen, who is awar
While on his way to Carmen’s loft, Phillip, who had previously scheduled time to talk with Carmen, found that she was gone, along with all of her possessions. He rushed to search other areas of the estate but was still unable to locate Carmen. "Miles, where is she?" Phil questioned, looking for Miles to inquire where Carmen was.Miles said, "Phil, it's best for everyone if she leaves the mansion. "Phil asks loudly, "But where is she? I need to see her!" Miles said, "Phil, I cannot let anything awful happen to Carmen; she left this morning while you were at school."Phillip goes back to Carmen's room to check if she has left him anything; he is seeking for a note or any clue as to where she could be, but Carmen has already departed and there is nothing. Phil becomes really upset since he knows his parents let her go and forced her to leave the mansion so they couldn't be together.Phillip barged into his father's office and accosted him, sounding very furious. "Papa, where is Carmen an
Phil was invited to the library by Don Pablo, who wants to talk to him about what transpired. Pablo already knows about Phil's relationship with one of the housekeepers thanks to Juana. Don Pablo wanted to talk to Phillip when things were a bit less chaotic, so it took him a few days to do so.Pablo calmly spoke to Phil, "I've heard about your connection with one of the servants, Phil, and to be honest, no parent will approve of that, especially since we've already arranged for your marriage to Cecilia.Phil was only listening calmly; he is aware that his father's counsel is always sound and is simply waiting to see this time if he would be able to withstand it.Pablo prompted, "I need to hear so I know precisely why you fell in love with this girl. Tell me what the qualities are that you enjoy about this female."Don Pablo replied, "That is bullsh*t, Phil. Any lady can make you happy. You think I simply have your mother to make me happy?" Phil replied, "Papa, she makes me happy."I e
Although Carmen was quite worried as she made her way to Mrs. Rocha's library, she was unable to piece together what was going to happen to her and Phillip. Nora, who was behind Carmen and sporting a sardonic grin, is behind her.“Do not let anyone enter the library, not Miles or Phillip. That's Mrs. Rocha's order”. Nora made sure to double-lock the door so no one could interfere with Mrs. Rocha's fit of rage. She knew Miles might attempt to enter the library to help and defend Carmen, so she made sure to tell Marie, "Do not let anyone enter the library, not Miles or Phillip.Carmen was visibly afraid of Mrs. Rocha as she stood in front of her table with her fists gripped together and her head down. Without saying a word, Rocha sat down and gave Carmen a stern look while tightening her fist and exhaling vehement wrath.Carmen tried to shield her face and evade Mrs. Rocha's hands as she yelled at her, "You son of a b*tch!" and "How can you entice my son to f*ck you, you little idiot?"
When Carmen opened her eyes, the sun had already risen; she was shocked at how late it had been and that Miles and other servants may be looking for her. She quickly changed into her clothes while trying not to disturb Phil awake. However, because of her numerous movements, he did wake up. He, too, was taken aback by their late awakening and excessive sleep. He is more worried about Carmen than about himself.Carmen told Phil in a distressed voice, "I have to go now; Miles might be looking for me now; it is almost eight in the morning; for am two hours late for my work." Phil then took hold of her arms and kissed her. Phil urged her to maintain her composure.Miles was outside and ready to unlock the door when Carmen opened it; she had seen Carmen and Phil together and knew they had spent the night together in the cellar. While Miles remained silent, she grabs Carmen's arms and made her follow her to her office. did not say a word but she grabs and dragged Carmen to follow her to her
