A time when you where overwhelmed with many clients to look after at the same time... I remember being alone at the front desk with the phones ringing, people waiting in the line and one female client ready to pay by card. I had only a couple of months experience with payments and everything. I was stressed out and the woman could tell. She was really nice and told me to handle it better because I looked annoyed and that gave a poor image to the hotel. At the end I was able to do everything I had to, but I am still, every day, trying to learn how to deal with stress.

Well done! Because you are writing at a higher level here are some additional style notes:

In English a client denotes an ongoing relationship between a person and a professional. It would be more typical to refer to hotel customers as guests.

"female client" sounds a little clinical. Something more natural would just be "woman." Also to maintain parallel construction it would be more correct to say "one woman getting ready to pay, " or "one woman waiting to pay." You also would not have to say "waiting in line." "In line" (without the "waiting") does the same work. Then the parallel construction issue wouldn't pop up.

"gave a poor image to the hotel" is grammatically correct, but more colloquially one would usually say "made the hotel look bad."
