Our moms prepare Christmas meals in our house since grandpas are watching our children who loves to be at home more than to their houses although they have everything they need there. When we come home after the work, we offer our help in the kitchen, but they always refuse saying that we are helping them being with our children who misses us a lot. Our daughter, Precious was very impatient to show her Christmas special dance to her tata that she prepared for him. She came to my Prince in Thursday after the work and asked him if he wants to see her special dance she prepared for him for Christmas. He smiled, kissed her and he said he would love to. She turned on the stereo and children started to sing “Jingle bell”. She was sooooo cute imitating dances she saw on TV. When she finished, we rewarded her with big applause and showers of kisses. She said that besides this dance she has hundred kisses and the drawing of hundred hearts that she will give it to him on Christmas. Mikey also told him what he prepared for him. Now he knew what they will give to him for Christmas. He was melted saying he can’t wait to get their Christmas presents.

My Prince never won money on lottery and since he thinks he has no luck, he rarely bought lottery tickets and he never gambled. After quick sex in the office and needing to go to down town, my luvs accidentally took the wrong (spared working jackets) instead of regular ones in which they had their wallets. They realized their mistake when they wanted to have a juice in one cafe. He had some change in his pocket, but it wasn’t enough even for one juice. Going back to the car, they passed by lottery stand and he had enough coins to buy express scramble lottery ticket. So he scrambled the ticket and he won 300 Euros (equivalent in our currency). He couldn’t believe it. Then he did something that he always does although we do not expect him to do or ask him to do – he asked my Ivy and me if it is OK with us if he spend half of the sum on us and the other half he wants to give to Mata. We told him to do whatever he wants with that money. And again, he didn’t buy anything for himself, but he spent the money on us. He bought the flowers and some sweets for our moms, me and Lidija, some toys and chocolate for our children, imported wines for our dads, and whiskey for my Fran. When he gave those presents to our parents, my luvs went to nursery home and gave 150 Euros to Mata. He was very grateful. Anyway, returning to the office my luvs showered me with kisses giving me big bouquet of flowers and my favorite chocolate which I shared with my Fran and Lidija. She was grateful for the flowers and sweets saying that she would take sweets home to eat it with Ivan.

Gossiping can never be uprooted and sometimes it comes from those whom you least expect. Doing their daily routine, cruising through the departments, my luvs found no irregularities. It pleased them. They decided to treat the best department with beverages from their own pocket. They took the list of orders and went to the Hotel bar and ordered the drinks. When the waiter asked them for whom is the treat, my Prince told him.

The waiter (bitterly): Did you know he’s talking bad about you?

Prince: Is he doing it during the working hours?

The waiter: No, he’s doing it in the car when driving home with friends. Our mutual friend told me and that and that persons can confirm it.

Prince: What he does and says after his working hours isn’t my concern as far he does not mess with my family ….

The waiter: But he says that you are abusing your position making people to fear you doing whatever you want, like you own the Hotel! The way he talks about you is like he tries to undermine your authority….

Prince: I was falsely accused before. You know it is a lie and people will see it too by the time...

The waiter confirmed and said he’ll take the drinks order to the chief and his workers. My Ivy was mad. She couldn’t let it go because my Prince helped that man several times. When they returned to the office, he came to me while my Ivy told to Lidija about what she and my Prince just heard. She asked her to invite that chief on interview about his job: how he likes it, what would he change, and how he sees his supervisors. My Ivy wanted to see his reaction. Lidija did as she was asked. He was very positive about the job and he wouldn’t change anything. On the question what he thinks about his superiors, like Mr. Prince, he was full of praises and commends.

Lidija: Did you know that hypocrisy and lying aren’t virtues, but flaws.

The chief: What do you mean?

Lidija: Talking badly, untruly and unfounded about your superior who helped you isn’t nice at all. You tried to trick me telling me what i wanted to hear, but I know you're lying. I can’t punish you since you didn’t break the Hotel rules, but you are disgusting me. Leave me office.

My Ivy waited him in the front of the office and grabbing him for his neck, she angrily said to him:

- You fucking ungrateful son of a bitch! My husband helped you so many times! Is this is how you pay him back? If you ever speak badly about him again, I will crush you!

He left in a hurry. Although she knew my Prince’s reaction, my Ivy told him what she did because we hide nothing from each other. He was displeased and he forbid her to touch him. Some time later, the chief invited my luvs in his office for he needed to talk to them. He confessed his wrongness and asked them forgiveness saying he doesn’t know why he did it. My Prince told him he is forgiven and he also said to him:

- I can understand if someone talks badly about those who mistreated him, but I can’t understand why you did it. You disappointed me, but, do not worry. We will not harm you. Do your job right as you do, follow Hotel rules and you’ll be fine. And if you need a help again, we’ll help you, because that’s what we do.

My Ivy told me that chief was very ashamed. I was very proud at my Prince. Indeed, my Prince always treated our workers with love, care and respect and he didn’t deserve to be discredited and gossiped. I had to share this with our parents when we came home. Of course, I told them nothing about my Ivy’s reaction. They commended his wisdom and reaction.

Today is Saturday. Have excellent weekend.
