<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/rPFCNly.jpg)</div>Temptation Resorts - just like its slogan promised, it was indeed,<em>a little bit of paradise on Earth.</em>Situated near the Equator on a quaint little island on the Carribean, the luxury resort saw many visitors from the upper echelons of society. It was, after all, an expensive and desirable place to be, with temperate climates all year round and business booming. Despite its big name, it had more of a community feel to it, as opposed to mainstream getaways. Individual suites were in collections of small hut-like houses with all the necessary amenities and amazing seaside views. The bedrooms in particular - the majority of which, were built with the expectations of couples residing there - were immensely luxurious. With king-sized mattresses and pristine views of the clear ocean, they had every comfort man or woman could imaginable.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/y8QFhO9.jpg)</div>Though, not many stayed cooped up in their rooms. During the long sunlit hours, women in bikinis and shirtless men could be found lounging around the common areas near the shoreline, enjoying the mellow sunlight and cool ocean breeze. Servers came and went with constant smiles on their faces and brightly-cleaned uniforms. They did their jobs so well, that they were almost invisible among the cast of the rich and relaxed, who lounged like kings and queens, even if it was for a mere weekend or two of their residency.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/DPpdbxG.png)</div>And of course, the night time held its own rewards, with its naturally ventilated, cooled, and relaxed dining and lounging areas. There were intimate, candlelit tables for couples as well as broader seating areas for larger parties. A constant stream of soothing music played in the background during the nights of the hotel restaurant, with a hum of conversation coming from the diners. It wasn't all too rare for one of those retired musicians who had their heyday a few decades ago to come and entertain. Yet, that was never the focus - just background noise. The focus was the people, their interactions. Overall, it was a relaxing place, with beautiful people, beautiful scenery, and no worries of disruptive technology and the societal judgements of society.<br/><br/>Medex had a several decade-long relationship with this fancy resort. Having held several of their successful multi-national meetings there in the past, this massive company was one of Temptation Resort's largest customers. And due to that, many of Medex's finest employess got significant benefits and opportunities to visit the area quite frequently. Often there were company-wide events there, where the more important people would gather together under the pretense of a business meeting and drink to Bacchanalian excess on the company bill. More often however, couples and individuals visited. Some men came with their wives, others came with girlfriends and lovers - and that was the majority of the population that inhabited the lofty resort. It wasn't exactly a family getaway, as the resort aimed to produce a more romantic sort of atmosphere. Tropical heat, good food, and a miasma of carelessness was certainly conducive to lovers reigniting their passions...Paradise on Earth.
