When they got to the premises of the Glitzy clubhouse, they found it difficult to get a place to park their car as every parking space was already occupied. It was through the help of a security warden who came to their rescue that they got a parking space.

As they all alighted from the car, Camilla was already moving her body to the rhythm of the song playing inside the club. Sofia was so amazed at how magnificent the place was that she began to doubt if she would ever get a job there.

You should be more careful and you know how important it is for the customers, they can easily call you by your name” “Don’t worry about it, I think it fell off a few minutes ago” “Tell the cleaners about it, so they can help you keep it well if they come across it while sweeping” Seth sugge
