تَسْجِيلُ الْوُصُولِ إِلَى الْفُنْدُقِ
سَلْمَى: مَسَاءُ الْخَيْرِ. عِنْدِي حَجْزٌ بِاسْمِ سَلْمَى.
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: أَهْلًا بِكِ. هَلْ حَجْزُكِ لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ؟
سَلْمَى: نَعَمْ، مِنَ الْيَوْمِ، الِاثْنَيْنِ، إِلَى الْأَرْبِعَاءِ.
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: غُرْفَتُكِ جَاهِزَةٌ فِي الطَّابِقِ الثَّانِي.
سَلْمَى: هَلْ يَشْمَلُ السِّعْرُ وَجْبَةَ الْفُطُورِ؟
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: نَعَمْ. الْفُطُورُ فِي مَطْعَمِ الطَّابِقِ الْأَرْضِيِّ مِنَ السَّابِعَةِ إِلَى الْعَاشِرَةِ صَبَاحًا.
سَلْمَى: عِنْدِي عَمَلٌ مُبَكِّرٌ. هَلْ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ آتِيَ فِي السَّابِعَةِ؟
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: بِالتَّأْكِيدِ، يَكُونُ الْمَطْعَمُ مَفْتُوحًا فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ.
سَلْمَى: وَمَتَى مَوْعِدُ مُغَادَرَةِ الْغُرْفَةِ؟
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ قَبْلَ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْرًا.
سَلْمَى: هَلْ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أَتْرُكَ حَقِيبَتِي هُنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى الثَّانِيَةِ؟
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: نَعَمْ، نَحْتَفِظُ بِهَا عِنْدَ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ دُونَ رُسُومٍ إِضَافِيَّةٍ.
سَلْمَى: مُمْتَازٌ. هَذَا تَأْكِيدُ الْحَجْزِ عَلَى هَاتِفِي.
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: شُكْرًا. هَذِهِ بِطَاقَةُ غُرْفَتِكِ.
سَلْمَى: أَيْنَ الْمِصْعَدُ، مِنْ فَضْلِكِ؟
مُوَظَّفَةُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: بِجَانِبِ الدَّرَجِ عَلَى الْيَسَارِ. إِقَامَةً سَعِيدَةً!
