"Damn it feels good to be King." Charles Arthur chuckled to himself as he kicked his feet up on the table looking down from the sixteenth floor of his hotel. It hadn't been easy to be one of the youngest and most dangerous mob bosses. In his thirties he was a ruthless, efficient, and brutal mobster known as the Red King for being bloody and always coming out on top

Carving out half the city as his turf he built the King Hotel. It was the classiest of hotels with no expense spared on the rooms or security. To this date no one had managed to smuggle in a weapon, the only trouble was keeping staff. Some were let go before they learned too much, some were taken out before they became a threat. He'd especially had trouble with receptionists. Hearing the phone ring he listens and responds, "Well I'll be right down. Set her up in the conference room and we'll do the interview." He headed to the elevator to see the applicant his guys had picked to be the new receptionist.
 
Rose looked around the conference room she was led in to and chewed on her lips. she had applied to the hotel to be a receptionist almost six months ago and when they had called her last week to offer her an interview she had agreed. Rose was desperate to get a job she was running out of money in her savings and after having graduated she was having to pay for an apartment that sucked and wasn't all that secure. if she was able to get the job then lodgings wouldn't be an issue and she would be able to work on paying her student loans back.
 
Never one to be late, King didn't Rose waiting for long before he came into the room and waved the other people out of the room. "You can wait outside." He looks her up and down curiously before sitting down at the table across the corner from her so they were fairly close by. He was a tall dark haired thirty six year old with a slight touch of silver hairs hiding in his short stubble beard. Looking over her resume again in front of her he smiles and tosses it to the side. "So Rose, from what i hear you've been trying to work here for a few months now. Tell me about yourself. What makes you want and think you can handle working at one of the busiest and best hotels in the country? Are you from the city?"
 
"I grew in a hotel and watched my mother handle the front desk and once I was old enough to reach the computer she turned the reception desk over to me." Rose shifted a little and then took another breath before she started to speak once again "even while in school I worked in hotels I doubt that the amount of business you do will overwhelm me it may keep me busy but that is about it" Rose wasn't bragging before their death in the fire that claimed their life and took away her families lively hood their hotel had been the busiest in the city but that was fifteen years ago.
 
"Heh, I like that attitude. If you're half as capable as you say you are that'll be better than half the people we've had work reception. And you're not bad looking either, just don't think you can use that to get out of doing your job." King says bluntly as he gauges her reactions studying her intensely to see if she'd collapse at the slightest pressure. So far she was doing good, leaning forward he asks, "Well if you think you can follow the rules. I think you've got the job. We have rooms in house for you to use, because i don't want 'traffic' making anyone late. Don't fuck up and don't harass our guests being nosy and things should be fine. Did you have any questions for me?"
 
Rose leaned forward a little "I leave early enough to always get to work on time no matter how bad the traffic and harassing guest is just plain rude, as for using my looks to get out of doing my job are you trying to insult me" Rose did her job and didn't use her looks to get out of trouble if she managed to get in to it.
 
King grins louder standing up and gives another small chuckle as he says, "Okay I really like that attitude." He takes a breath and a drink of water shaking his head before explaining, "No I'm not trying to be insulting. I'm just sick of people trying to get flirty instead of doing their job. You'll find I'm pretty direct about speaking my mind and not tolerant of bullshit. You've also got some backbone, which helps a lot. If you still want the job Rose it's yours, but come in late once without a hell of a valid reason and it'll be a choice between moving in to the apt here or finding a new job."

Flipping through the paperwork he finds the space for himself to sign and date and pulls his gold trimmed jet black pen to sign it and slide the paper and pen over to her. "The choice is yours, if you think you can handle working here and playing by the rules sign, if not I'll escort you out."
 
"I'll just move here to begin with makes life easier in the long run for me" Rose then picked the pen up and sighed the papers before pushing them back to him. Rose then stood and picked her bag up "I'll be back in a few hours with my things to move in and get settled if you need I can start first thing in the morning." Rose had a feeling his system was going to be a mess when she finally did get to it
 
"Sounds like a smart plan. Come up to my office with me, I'll photocopy your driver's license and show you where the room is. You don't have to pay rent but you do have to pay for power and buy your own food. Oh and the job comes with a parking spot in the underground lot. That way we don't take up spots for the guests." King says with a small nod as he takes the pen and papers. He extends a hand to her for either a handshake or to help her up
 
Rose nodded her head and then followed after him so that they could finish up her paper work and then she could head out and get her tings. thankfully she was on a month by month lease and the month was almost up so not having to renew it would make her life so much better. Rose looked around the hotel as they walked and saw some doors and even an elevator that said authorized personnel only. Rose was curious about those signs and why they were there but she left it alone since her job was to keep the hotel running soothly for the front desk aspect of things
 
King gestures for one of the guys who had been waiting outside to follow them as he takes them down the hall to a particular elevator in the corner of the hall. Once all three of them are inside he puts a key into the elevator to reveal a hidden panel. Hitting the top floor he looks at her and explains, "The first 8 floors are for guests, the ninth floor is for staff, floors ten through fifteen are for very important business guests, and the top floor is my personal suite and office. Absolutely no one should be up there without my knowledge and permission."

The elevator is a glass one that shows a great view of the city. Once at the top floor he walks her to his office gesturing for the guard to wait again. One at the copier he takes a copy of her driver's licence and the filled out paperwork. Turning towards her he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blindfold, "Put this on. No one gets to know where i keep my files or where the safe is hidden."
 
"understood sir no guest past floor eight then through fifteen are for VIP'S only and sixteen is off limits" Rose recited it so that she didn't forget and then looked at the blind fold and then handed him her glasses "this would be easier I am pretty much blind with out them I could be looking right at where you keep them and wouldn't be able to tell a soul" Rose's eyes weren't the best and had been told that laser surgery would get rid of glasses for the rest of her life but she was more then a little scared to do that.
 
He takes the glasses from her looking them over as he says, "Wow that's quite the prescription. Normally I'd insist on the blindfold but I can see what you mean about not being able to see without them. Still do me a favor, turn around and excuse my paranoia."

Once she turns around he opens up the drawer of his desk to press a button revealing a hidden drawer in the desk where he pushes the papers into them closing it up. He wasn't really too concerned with the secret drawer, but he was dead serious about the safe. To reveal the safe hiding in the wall took a key being used inside a fake book and a passcode on the panel that unlocked. Then the safe itself had a combination. He takes out a keycard from the safe and a few hundred dollar bills. Once it's all locked up and hidden he gives her back the glasses and holds out the cash and keycard, "This will help cover moving expenses and get you into your room. It also lets you take the elevator up to the staff floor.
 
"I can do that" Rose slowly turned since she wanted to make sure that she didn't fall over because she had moved too fast. when he eventually gave her her glasses back and then handed her the cash and keycard she nodded her head "thank you" Rose had to blink a bit to clear her vision and then after she put the cash and card in to her back she shrugged her shoulders a little and then smiled "well if you would be so kind as to send me back down so I can go and get my things"
 
"Of course. But first let me show you which room is yours." He says with a chuckle leading her out of the room with his hand on her shoulder to make sure she doesn't try to slip back inside. The guard follows them to the elevator and the ninth floor. Luckily they don't have to go far as her room is basically right next to the elevator. Looking at her King smiles and says, "I like the receptionist to be closest to this elevator. Most the guest elevators don't go above floor eight and also this one is more of an express elevator so it's a little faster. It also goes all the way to the parking garage. Let me know if you have any troubles or need anything else Rose."
 
"will do sir" Rose then hit the button for the elevator once she had seen her room and got ready to head out and get her things. after leaving it took Rose about an hour to gather her things and get back to the hotel. once she was back Rose headed to her room and started to unpack her bags and get settled in.
 
King didn't get back on the elevator with her instead going into one of the other rooms and dragging the guy out with his guard's help. They took him upstairs and told him exactly how bad he fucked up trying to turn him into the cops. It was one slow ride up for the three people an a very short argument that ended in a bang. Weapons weren't allowed in the hotel, but the Red King made the rules and only he could break them. Three people went up but only two came down along with a body bag to be disposed of. By the time she was moved in there was no trace the guy had ever been there and there was an employee handbook waiting for her and several uniforms. He was able to accurately eyeball size her having gone through a lot of staff by now. Not wanting to take chances with the new hire with a spine, he places an order for some cameras on fast delivery for tomorrow morning as he chuckles to himself, "Okay Rose, you stood up to me, now let's see if you can back up that mouth."
 
when she walked in to her room and saw the uniforms she frowned a little and then the frown deepened when she saw the sizes and that they were correct. after hanging them up she finished unpacking and then she settled in to her bed and started to read and memorize her hand book that she had been given. her show time had been written on the front of the book so she knew what time she needed to be at work the next morning.
 
Once business was done for the day Charles retired to his room for the night and reflected on the day. Waking up early he was there to get the daily shipment of whatever supplies they were low on and also the new security cameras he ordered. Now he just needed her to be out of the room but he knew exactly when her shift started. By the time she went to clock in she would see a name tag waiting. He was also behind the desk looking over paperwork but also making sure she wasn't late her first day.
 
Rose was early for her shift and then picked up her name tag and put it where it needed to be. Rose moved around the desk and logged to the system and quickly familiarized herself with the system. it took her only a few minutes to get familiar with it and to know that it was badly outdated "you know this system is out of date right?"
 
"I'm not surprised to hear that. But if it makes a big difference let me know what you need to get it updated. The off hour receptionist doesn't care much for computers and the last guy here was garbage at his job." King says with a small sigh. He does give her a smile as he watches her quickly adapt to the system. So far she was doing pretty good, a little lippy, but he had to admit it made him smile
 
"it will be an easy upgrade and change over I can do it during lunch so you won't lose any work time." Rose then picked up the phone and greeted the customer on the other end and quickly put their reservation in the system and then gave them their confirmation number and waited for them to repeat it back to make sure they had it right. when they did and everything was settled she hung up the phone and then handled the guests that came it. in the next hour things picked up and she was checking people in while taking reservations all at the same time with out missing a beat.
 
Giving her a thumbs up to not interrupt her he bows out and lets her work fairly confident in her after watching her for the first little bit. More importantly it meant she wasn't in her room, so he slipped up to his office to grab the cameras and heads back into her room easily getting in with a master key. Once in the apartment he sets up cameras in every room hiding them up high but looking down to get a good look. He gets every room with a camera including the bathroom. Once they are wired up he gets the feeds secured and sent to his personal computer. Then out of curiosity he rummages through her stuff for a second spending the most time looking through her underwear drawer with a chuckle. He really enjoyed doing this it seemed.
 
all he would find was conservative clothes both undergarments and regular clothes. while he was wiring her room Rose was working her ass off. by the time lunch came around she was worn out but when right in to upgrading the system that was on the computer. with a few changes as well she also set up a website that had online reservations. she would get notified when someone logged on to make an online reservations and this would allow her to assign a room to them right away it would also help avoid double and over booking as well.
 
Most people would find her clothes boring, but to the King even plain underwear was fun to look at and imagine sliding off her beautiful body. Once he was done invading her privacy the mobster heads back down to the main floor to see how she is doing so far first checking in with his other staff very impressed. He checks the computer to see that her improvements were actually well done and not half assed. Hunting her down he approaches her giving a small clap. "Well very very well done Rose. So far you are absolutely perfect, but try not to burn yourself out on the first day. I want you to take a break extend your lunch a bit. I can see how hard you've been working. If you haven't eaten yet it's on me if you have I'll grab your dinner you deserve that at least for getting the computer up to date and back in shape."
