FADE IN:
We see a young woman in the back of the car and she looks at
a photo on her Ipad. The photo shows a group of happy
friends. Her STEADY VOICE draws us to in to hear her story.
OLIVIA (V.O.)
I left a long way behind, and
before me is even a longer one. I
do not know where and how
everything will end, but I know
where it started. And with whom.
MYRA
I'm so glad that you liked our
hotel. Thank you for choosing
Crystal Waters. For the next time!
CUSTOMERS
Thank you for having us and all
the kind things Crystal Waters did
to us!
The customers left and the woman in he mid 30s shows up.
Constance, mid 30s, works as Myra's assistant a light brown
haired and blue eyed.
CONSTANCE
There are the papers that we
received from Miss Gates'
assistant.

MYRA
What would I do without you?!
MYRA (CONT'D)
I want a surprise dessert for all
the customers. I'll talk myself to
Pablo to prepare... my favorite
dessert: Souffle du chocolat.
CONSTANCE
For all the customers?
MYRA
Yes. I want everyone to smile when
our new manager shows up. And who
doesn't smile after a good dessert?
MYRA
Did the manager arrived?
RECEPTIONIST
Not yet, but she'll be here soon.
MYRA
There is someone to wait outside
for the customer?
RECEPTIONIST
No, but we can ask someone. Who do
you think can be?
MYRA
Can you call Emily to announce her
''duty''?
RECEPTIONIST
Of course.
Olivia continues to tell the story and she looks out the
car's window.
OLIVIA (V.O.)
And there was Emily. They worked
together at the hotel during summer
vacations since they were 16 and
they were friends since childhood.
EMILY
The new boss arrives at any
moment and I can't give her the
tour. Dear, can you give her the
tour for me?
NOAH
Of course, honey! What do you have
to do?
EMILY
I have to sign some papers for the
customers that have left.
NOAH
Good luck then! Before you leave, I
want to ask you something.
EMILY
What do you need to ask me?
NOAH
What do you think about the new
boss, maybe her new changes and
that Mister White has sold the
hotel to her?
EMILY
I do not know what to think, you
know I don't like changes, but if I
don't lose my job and I'm still the
best employee I accept the changes.
Maybe he misses her... I need to go
now, bye-bye. Noah, can you wait
for her at the hotel entrance?

NOAH
(SHAKE HEAD)
Emily leaves.
