The Band Had Arrived at the

Event

A few minutes later, as Mr. Nortreus stood by the window gazing outside, he appeared to see the band arriving in front of the museum and library.

“That bus, right?”

“Who could be on it?”

“Are they guests?” He pondered aloud.

While he continued to observe, he noticed young men and women descending with their instruments.

“Oh my God!”

“Look who has arrived!”

“Finally, they are here!”

“They actually came!” He exclaimed upon realizing it was the band he had invited. “Alright, it looks like everything is starting to go well,” he remarked.

Indeed, he was correct; it was the band that had arrived.

He then hurried downstairs to greet them at the entrance.

“Alright, everyone, are we all here?”

“Is anyone missing?” Vicky inquired as they gathered in front of the building to enter. “Everyone is present,” one of the members answered.

“But who?”

“Are you sure?” another member questioned.

“I’m glad everyone is here; I have everything under control,” Vicky stated.

The Band Ready to Perform

at the Event

“Good morning, everyone!” Mr. Nortreus greeted Vicky, and the rest of the band walked into the building.

“Mr. Nortreus! You're back!” Vicky exclaimed.

“It's great to see you again and thank you for having us!” the other band members chimed in.

“So, how is everyone doing?” He asked.

“May our day begin on a positive note, thanks to God,” he added.

“We're doing well! Thank you!” They responded in unison, albeit with varying tones as they prepared to enter.

“And how about you?” Vicky inquired.

“I'm doing well, thanks,” he replied. “Please, everyone, come inside. Let's kick off the day!” He spoke.

He joined the band to introduce them to his staff and have them perform.

“Everyone, this is the band that will provide music for our event,” he announced to the staff, employees, customers, and visitors.

“What is the name of the band?” A visitor asked.

“Yes! Does the band have a name? I want to re-record it to post on social networks,” another visitor added.

Laughter filled the hallway.

“Could you remind me of your band's name, Vicky?” He asked as she stood beside him.

“We are called The Sound of Nortré-Ville!” She responded.

“Alright, everyone, let's give a cheer for 'The Sound of Nortré-Ville!'” He encouraged everyone to clap for them.

After the applause subsided, he indicated where they should set up their equipment and instruments.

“This is your set!” He told them.

The band proceeded to set up and plug in their gear to play music.

Positioned prominently in the entrance hallway, anyone entering the museum and library could see them performing lively music.

“Alright, everyone, play as much music as you like!” He instructed.

“Remember, my staff and employees are here to assist you with anything you need, whether it's food or other requests,” he said as he headed to his office.

“I have a question: how long will this last?" A band member asked him.

“The event is scheduled to conclude sometime between 12 PM and 1 PM.”

“Please enjoy yourselves and have a great time!” He responded.

“Sounds good!” The other band members chimed in.

Thus, the band performed music, and everyone was pleased.

Mr. Nortreus, Staff Greeted

the Invited Guests

It was nearly 9 AM when Mr. Nortreus received a call while sitting at his desk in his office.

At that moment, Mrs. Medjina called to inform him that the guests had arrived, prompting him to come down and meet them.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Nortreus speaking.”

“Who is calling, please?” He inquired as he answered the phone.

“Mr. Nortreus!” Mrs. Medjina responded.

“That voice sounds familiar,” he remarked. “It's me...” she replied.

“I already know who you are; you don't need to remind me,” he said.

“Alright, fine. I'm calling to let you know that the guests have arrived,” she stated.

“Really? That's wonderful!” He replied.

“Yes! I want you to come down and meet us,” she urged.

“Alright, I'll be there in a few seconds.”

“Thanks for your call!” He responded.

After the call, he stood up from his desk and exited his office.

He then made his way downstairs to greet the guests.

So, upon arriving in the hallway, he noticed the group of guests gathering.

“Alright, everyone! I will introduce our head,” Mrs. Medjina announced to the guests as he approached.

“Good morning, everyone!”

“Welcome to Nortré-Ville Collections & Archives!”

“My name is Mr. Nortreus, and I am the head of the museum and library!” He greeted the guests while shaking their hands.

“Good morning, Mr. Nortreus! What a pleasure it is to meet you and your staff.”

“We are happy to be here for your event,” the president of the association responsible for the group replied.

“Thank you for having us, Mr. Nortreus!” some guests chimed in.

“Great! You are welcome!” He replied.

“So, what's next?” the President inquired.

“My staff and employees are prepared to guide you all through several areas inside the museum and library,” he answered.

“Okay, great! We are ready to begin now,” the guests responded.

“Mrs. Medjina! Could you and the other staff accompany the guests and show them around?”

“Please avoid the private rooms, as they are not open to the public,” he instructed.

“Alright, understood.”

“We are prepared to assist them.”

“Thank you for placing your trust in us,” she responded.

“You are welcome!”

“Only God knows why he brought you to me.”

“You all are excellent employees,” he remarked with a smile.

“Thank you, sir!” She replied and smiled. Mr. Nortreus Welcomed the Girls and Parents

A few minutes after Mr. Nortreus instructed Mrs. Medjina and the other staff to guide the guests through the museum and library, Celine and Kayla arrived with their parents at the front of the building.

Yes!

Do you remember Celine and Kayla?

The two little girls, right?

It appears that Celine fulfilled her promise and attended the event.

“It seems that more clients, visitors, or guests are arriving,” he remarked as he strolled down the entrance hallway and glanced outside.

“Hold on a second!”

“Aren't that Celine and her parents?” He pondered, also wondering about the other parents accompanying the other girl.

“Wow! That's incredible!”

“They truly came to my event,” he said, recognizing that it was indeed Celine, Kayla, and their parents who had arrived.

He then stepped outside to greet them.

“Celine! Kayla! You really came, didn't you?”

“Welcome, everyone!” He exclaimed as he met them near the entrance.

“Mr. Nortreus! You're here!” Celine and Kayla replied as they rushed towards him.

“Welcome, girls!”

“I’m delighted to see you lovely girls,” he said to them.

“Thanks! Can we join now?” The girls asked after he embraced them.

“Absolutely! Please make yourselves at home,” he responded.

The girls eagerly dashed inside.

“Wow! This is beautiful!” They exclaimed in unison as they entered and admired the museum and library.

“Parents, welcome! It’s wonderful to have you here,” he also greeted the girls' parents. “You are Mr. Nortreus, correct?” Kayla's parents inquired.

“Yes, that’s right,” he confirmed.

“Our daughter has told us about you,” Kayla’s parents told him.

“She mentioned that you are kind,” Kayla's parents added.

“Thank you!”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you all beautiful people,” he replied.

Following that conversation with the girls' parents, they proceeded inside to participate in the event.

“Welcome to Nortré-Ville Collections & Archives!” He announced it to the parents. “Thank you for having us!” They replied with smiles.

“Please, make yourselves at home. If you need anything to eat or any assistance, my staff is here to help you,” he assured them. “Alright, sir! Thank you!” They replied.

“In the meantime, do you mind if I take the girls for a walk around the building? I believe they would enjoy it,” he asked about their daughters.

“Absolutely! Of course!” Kayla's parents responded.

“Just be cautious with them!” Celine's parents also replied.

“Thank you so much!”

“Feel free to enjoy and have fun! We'll return in a few minutes!” He told them.

“Okay!” They replied.
