Loyalty

Is there any loyalty left in me?

I shifted from my former apartment to the current one as my boss made the offer. The bigger pool was too enticing.

Last night, I went to check out the pool and was awed by the pretty sight. No wonder residents kept snapping pictures of it. Alas! The water was way too cold, I got out within 3 seconds.

As we were pondering for a dinner venue today, I suggested the Italian restaurant at my former apartment. Last night, I was back there to collect my luggage deposited with them but they couldn't locate my ring with the housekeeping. Today, as I was seated awaiting my dinner, a familiar figure came to greet me (by my first name, no less). He returned me my ring.

The staff might not know how much the ring meant to me but at least, they bothered to help me keep a lookout when I asked and took it in their custody. It might not cost a bomb but I will definitely replace the ring (if I misplaced it). I would very much preferred having back my old scratched ring than a new one (even if JJ offered to pay).

Just how much value do I place on a bigger pool which is too cold for swimming. Today, I hit the gym instead.
