<strong>Approaching Jasmine's Beach House</strong>- Cindy Forsythia<br/><br/>Richard wanted her to play along but Jasmine was clearly furious and Maria was probably so interested as to directly watch things through the strange gull on her head. It was a rather obvious choice, if one of them was going to be cross with her anyway she much rather have it be Richard. Maria was her employer after all and Richard had surely talked himself into a corner. The matriarch ran the tourist operation directly and did not appreciate other members of the family interfering in that end of the business without her express consent. The sound of losing such a big contract would be infuriating, and who knows what other plans of the matriarch Richard had stepped on.<br/><br/>"I'm employed by the tourism bureau, not by you," she said to Richard, "I have to continue to do my job and help my client pack, thank you very much. I'm sorry Jasmine, please don't by angry, they'll deal with him I'm sure. He's just young and is trying to impress you is all!"<br/><br/>If Richard proved foolhardy enough to punish Cindy under maria's watch full eye and in front of a tourist then there was not much to be done anyway. So Cindy followed Jasmine and walked up to be by her side. The seagull did not leave her head so it was a rather funny sight. With Cindy being so short it was likely Jasmine would be staring at the gull if she didn't look down.<br/><br/>Cindy wanted to ask if Jasmine was serious about leaving but wouldn't dare say anything until she was in the guest house. She was shaking, if Jasmine left because she was unsatisfied she was sure to lose a full foot in height.
