"He is Andy Gill, President Harley's assistant. He is Madison Baker, the resort project manager. He is Colton, assistant of Manager. He is Arlo, My secretary." Sky pointed at each and introduced them.
"Mr. Baker will tell you about the resort and Assistant Gill will explain to you about our aim at this meet. We will only brief you so that you don't get bored, if anyone of you has any questions or doubts, please do ask... Mr.Baker, you can start now." Sky finished and sat down. She had Arlo towards right and Andy towards the right and in the center of five.
Since it was about work, she wasn't casual or playful. She maintained her distant and aloofness.
The manager described three structure and it's interior, location of resorts, Trekking to peak for sunrise viewpoint and other miscellaneous things.
By the end of it, Sky could see the changes in the expression of most of the travelers and environmentalists. Since they weren't negative, Sky cued Andy to continue.
Andy briefed about Harley's view about the resort build in a different way than following the old school methods by building huge few stories of a building or typical villas. When Andy finished, attendees spoke to themselves.
Sky waited for them to finish and asked, "If anyone of you have any questions, please do ask."
An environmentalist who was in the late twenties spoke, "Miss, Your project is very impressive indeed. For your project, you still had to cut trees. So how do you expect us to review this?"
Sky stood up as she signaled Arlo to put on a presentation. "Well, I'm sure you know better than me how government bid for the land in the name of redevelopment and let companies handle it. However, the latter wants to use the land. If not Harley, others would have brought the land and built amusement parks, hotels or resorts, factories etcetera."
She pointed at four pictures on the screen with a laser pointer. "I hope you know these places are around our capital city but let us show you how those pieces of lands looked before and after redevelopment."
Arlo changed the slide and a picture appeared showing before and present ariel view of an amusement park. The picture also highlighted deforestation. After a brief pause, Arlo showed the other three pictures and stopped.
"You are all intelligent enough to understand what we are trying to elucidate. And.."
Another environmentalist cut in, "What about your project?"
"I'm coming to that." Sky said as Arlo changed the slide. "Right side is the before and left side is after our resort built. It is difficult to see much changes, We will show you higher quality picture pointing where are the differences."
Since two pictures were in one, it wasn't showing any differences other than the highway restaurant area. Next, an ultra-high-definition picture appeared. It was the current aerial view of the resort area. Then with custom animation effects, areas where trees were cut, were highlighted one after another with the old appearance. Sky didn't explain and let them analyze.
In the end, Sky spoke, "We can resolve your incredulity if any. By live aerial view or we can bring you there."
There was complete silence for nearly five minutes. Thinking to give them time, Sky moved to her chair for water, Arlo passed it to her. She gave a faint smile to him and drank.
One of the environmentalists spoke, "So are you expecting us to review it as excellent?"
"Nope! If you don't like the place after visiting and have a negative review, we will get to know where we are lacking. We are open to receive both negative and positive." Sky replied.
The environmentalist nodded and quietened.
Jane asked with a smile. "Sky! I'm in. When are you sending us there?"
Sky replied with a faint smile, "We will decide it at the end of the meeting after knowing who and all are willing to join us."
Biker cum traveler asked, "Biker girl! As per pictures, we couldn't see any roads. so how to reach those tree houses?"
Sky controlled her smile hearing 'Biker girl' and replied, "How about little suspense till you go there and check it out yourself?"
"Interesting! I'm in."
One by one all agreed after clearing their doubts and getting answers and all eleven were ready to go.
"Thank you for your interest. Our main concern is your reviews to us. Blogging or reviewing about it in any social media will be your wish. But we have only one request, no information should be out until you reach that place." Sky said and sat on her chair.
"So can I do my live streams after reaching there?" A travel blogger asked.
"Sure!"
"Sky! Before Harley, we will be the one to let the public know about the place if we blog about it. Isn't that risky if our review is negative?"
All looked at Sky for the reply and thought she would request for writing good points about it but she just smiled. "I have gone through blogs of you guys and reviews of environmentalists, You all will write about the facts and this will give you a different experience than most of the resorts. That's more than enough."
"Cute! Daredevil! and Confident. Girl! I will kidnap you one day." The same man who said about kidnapping in M city spoke and chuckled causing other his group mates to laugh.
Sky finally let out a giggle. Arlo's face was pitch black as he gritted his teeth.
After discussion, All decided to leave next Friday after lunch in the Regal Hotel and the gathering point was the same.
At last, Sky asked, "We know you all agreed to try this for your passion for nature and experience. As a formality, I would like to ask if you have any request or expectation, you can tell us. Or you can contact this number."
Sky cued Colton to give his visiting card to everyone.
"Please don't hesitate, if you have an expectation as we will be taking your time, we will try our best to accommodate you." Sky finished speaking.
Few looked at each other and Jane spoke, "Sky! you are already sponsoring our outing including our travel expenses. That's more than enough. If your place is not up to our expectation then I will eat you poor."
She finished and started laughing with others. Nobody had any other request and a two-plus hour meeting finished.
