Island Girls: Heart and Seoul Part One
The next few days passed in a rush and because of the schedule and daily itinerary it was hard to remember what day it was. Jasmine assured her that was normal for anyone starting out and it broke down to workday and not work days.
The morning of the day before Nikita's first day off Helga walked in with a folder. "Sorry for interrupting your morning ladies but it appeared our fearless leader had been invited to a good friend's birthday party in Seoul. You know that means he absolutely needs an entourage to accompany him, we will be accepting volunteers. Yes there will be a pay bump as this is an unscheduled event, any takers?"
“As in Korea?” Nikita said excitedly. “Can new Island girls volunteer?”
"Is that a yes for volunteering?" Helga asked pen hovering over her data pad.
“Yes, oh hell yes, wait til Nikka hears I’m going to Seoul!” She practically squeaked.
Helda nodded, writing her name down as well as a few other volunteers. "Jasmine? You speak some Korean?" Helga prodded.
"I get the hint sure I'll go." Jasmine said with a.l double thumbs up.
"Excellent, all volunteers report to the spa after lunch for prep." Helda clapped.
“I have nothing left to wax,” Nikita told Jasmine with a worried look.
"Oh, no, we're getting club ready. Plus it's Korea so … they are crazy picky about who they let into clubs. Meaning you can just look good, you have to look celebrity good. Plus you're going to need a rough rundown of some does and don't and don't plus some they have some modesty laws too… yea … clubbing in Korea is an experience." Jasmine explained.
“I hope they pick me…” Nikita wished. “I really do.”
"If you're being sent to the spa … you're going. So don't worry, it'll be a good way to 'break in' the new girl. That's you. So just … keep an ear out." Jasmine assured.
The day moved on with Nike's regular duties. She was mid learning about how to operate poolside when she saw Helga 'walking with purpose'. He said not a work just motioned for Nikita to follow. Helga somehow made the whole 'walking with purpose' look elegant but not was she fast. She silently moved around the resort silently gathering girl's before guiding them to the spa.
It was utter chaos. Make artist where packing and outfits where still being chosen and the girl where lined up for a temp spray to change their hard earned golden tan's to dewy pale skin. There was a disgusting amount of protective sprays.
"Koren beauty standards prefer pale skin. We walk in with a tan and they'll turn us away. No lie." Jasmine explained.
They didn't even bother to dress them; they just slapped them in fluffy robes and piled them into the plane with the makeup artists and clothing designers.
