As soon as Raelle and Cloe entered the building, there was a sudden silence that enveloped the lobby. The place that had always been bustling with people and seemed loud was suddenly utterly silent. And everyone's eyes were stuck on these two women.
"Excuse me!"
The receptionist was gathering her things to prepare to go for lunch when she heard that voice. She lifted her head and faced Raelle with an inaudible gasp that escaped her lips without her knowing it. She wasn't at fault though. The visual impact was too much for her poor heart considering she had always been a face-con.
Clearing her throat, she answered, "Yes? How may I help you?"
Raelle took off her shades when she noticed the receptionist's enthusiastic smile and found it quite interesting. From her years of experience, she could easily see that the receptionist's smile was from straight from her heart. It wasn't a polite smile or a patronizing one at all. It was sincere.
