Chapter 200 - Breakfast in the hotel (1/2)
The next morning when Finland woke up, Caspar was already waiting for her with Aleksis, looking all neat and ready to go.
”Where are you two going, looking so handsome and beautiful like this?” Finland asked in astonishment.
”There is no food in the fridge, so I can't prepare breakfast for us. That's why I want to invite you to have breakfast at the hotel,” Caspar answered.
Finland patted her forehead and realized that they had left her apartment for almost 3 months and there was really no food in her kitchen. She nodded and hurriedly took a shower and changed into her office clothes.
Half an hour later, a taxi dropped them off in front of the St. Laurent Hotel. Caspar walked in casually and asked the hotel staff to direct him to the restaurant for breakfast.
The atmosphere in the restaurant that morning was very lively. One restaurant staff immediately approached them and asked for their room number.
”Good morning, Sir and Madam. May I have your room number, please?”
Caspar smiled slightly. He had never experienced this before. The hotel staff did not recognize the owner of the hotel.
”We are from the Presidential Suite,” Caspar answered curtly.
”Oh... let me check first...” The staff looked confused. He did not see any guests from the Presidential Suite on the list he held. He picked up his phone and called the reception. In a low voice he asked the reception about the Presidential Suite and, after hearing the answer, he hung up and looked at Caspar apologetically. ”Sorry, sir. But I can't find your name on our guest list.”
”Do you know who my name is?” Caspar asked.
”Uhm... I mean, I checked with the reception, and they said that there are no guests currently staying in the Presidential Suite. That means that there is no name on my list...”
”Who is the General Manager here?” asked Caspar, who now felt that this incident was no longer funny. He was hungry.
”Sorry, our GM hasn't arrived yet. He will come to the office at 9.”
Finland, who did not want to cause a commotion, immediately took Caspar's hand and asked him to go, ”Let's just buy food at another restaurant, there's a McD nearby... They have a breakfast menu there...”
”No, I'm hungry. Let's just eat here.” Caspar turned to the restaurant staff, ”I will wait until your GM arrives. Meanwhile, we will eat first.”
Caspar entered the restaurant and chose the best table. He then placed Aleksis on his lap.
”Is there a highchair for a child in this restaurant?” he asked.
”Sorry, there's no such thing, Sir.” replied the restaurant staff.
”Gosh... Isn't it part of the SOP to provide high chairs for guests who bring children?” In the past, Caspar did not really care about facilities for children in his hotels. But now, since he had to take Aleksis everywhere, he began to see things from a parent's perspective, and realized that there were many things that needed to be changed.
”Sorry, Sir. We once provided high chairs in the past, but there were hardly any guests using them, so we kept everything in the storage.”
