Location Sky Blossom City, Guild a.s.sociation Mall, Warehouse no.234

So Susan, how is recruiting new staff going on?

Well except Corey I did not hire anyone else yet.

I saw a tonne of resumes on your table the other day, n.o.body to your liking?

They were all spies sent to uncover the creator behind the cards I sold, earlier since I thought you wanted to keep your ident.i.ty hidden I rejected them all. Now I am in no hurry or in need of more staff as I have only one client, Corey and the 10 staffs lent by the guild are enough for now.

What about you Corey are you adjusting well to your new job. I asked

Um not that I am complaining but all I do is manual ch.o.r.es around here. sweep the warehouse, wipe the floor, clean the ceiling, repaint the walls, scrub the stains and next repeat the same. I think n.o.body can adjust to that. As the Bright family princess who has more than a dozen personal maids never in her dreams did she imagine that one day she will be willingly doing manual ch.o.r.es for a job.

Hearing Corey, Susans cheeks were red. Corey came to her to learn from her but all she did was have Corey clean the warehouse.

Wait! You alone cleaned the warehouse. I looked at Corey with unbelievable eyes, what was even more unbelievable was Susan would ask a little girl to clean a whole warehouse by herself.

Yes, but its no big deal I used occupation cards gifted to me by my grandpa. Explained Corey.

No wonder otherwise how could a single person clean whole warehouses in a single morning.

Wait, what about the other 10 staff a.s.signed by the guild didnt I ask you to get them to do it. Susan hurriedly interrogated.

I asked them but they said the guild only a.s.signed them to you to help with your auction and nothing else besides that. So, I chose to finish the job myself.

What! How dare they say that! I will handle them later but Corey you did not do right, I ordered you to have the 10 staff clean the warehouse and you to a.s.sist them not to do it yourself.

You have to learn how to get people to work for you not the other way round. You may think arguing and negotiating is beneath you but they are the key skills of a sales representative.

You need to know how to handle the staff, you cant always do all the work by yourself.

Come with me tomorrow, its about time you got some field experience. Susans face was red with anger. I didnt know whether she was angry at the staff or Corey.

Even though Susans first auction was a great success, she was still not accepted by her colleagues yet as they spent years of hard work to get where they are today and Susan got there just like that. So things were still hard for Susan as in the guild a.s.sociation mall.

But its good that a few things were clearer now, I almost thought Susan was taking revenge on Corey.

Susan, where did you get the loan for the ingredients?

From one of the buyers of my previous auction, she had been badgering me to introduce her to the master who created my origin card.

At first, I refused. but since you are starting to provide your service as a card creationist. I promised her to introduce you two if she helped me with the loan.

She agreed and lent me the money with zero interest.

Come in early tomorrow, I asked her to come in the morning.

Finished with the break the girls got back to their work and I started to create another set of 100 G-rank Storage trunk cards.

I was excited about the hoverbike and could not wait to create it but not now I had other plans for it after reading the basics of golem creation.

Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Sky Blossom Branch, Fine Gold Tower, Penthouse Office.

Sister you called, how was the meeting? Asked Jaya waking to the office.

How many times I have asked you to knock before you enter a room. Said Diana, she was no longer expressionless and grim like before in the training hall but like a doting sister who can not spoil her siblings enough.

Why? Are you hiding my brother-in-law in here? said Jaya.

Nope only me, your nemesis. Cindy walked out of the office washroom cleaning her hands with tissue.

What were you two doing alone in here, do not tell me you werent hiding my brother-in-law but sister-in-law in here. Sister, you have my blessing go for it.

Enough! Come have a seat? Chilled Diana.

Okay, but why isnt Cindy in the heathen stone prison.

I am in heathen stone prison dear, at least one of me is.

Sister this is cheating Jaya pleaded injustice to Diana with puppy eyes but only to be ignored.

Cindy sneered, annoyed Jaya said, why did you call me?

The Heir to Jk Grain and Oil Ltd. Is coming to Sky Blossom tomorrow, you have to receive him and see to it that he doesnt get bored. Until they sign the contract, after that its up to you, ditch him, discard him, as long as you dont get him killed its fine. Explained Diana. She doted Jaya but did not want her to grow into a pampered prodigal daughter.

No probs but I spent all my money on the Origin card, I am penniless.

I gave you 120 million $ just last month.

Oh, I spent it all as my origin card creation fee.

You prodigal daughter 120 million $ just for card creation fee are you out of your mind

How am I prodigal? Those old bones asked 5 soul jades and couldnt even guarantee a 50% success rate. You should be happy I saved you 5 soul jades. I knew those old bones are useless, a high schooler bested them and all they know is to put on air all day.

Speaking of the high schooler there is something you should see. Saying that Cindy shared CCTV footage with Jaya and Diana.

The footage showed Wyatt returning to bathhouse no.2 like a thief and picking up long strands of hair that had fallen on the floor and pocketing them.

Jaya and Diana looked at Cindy with question marks for expression.

Those are Jayas hair and that b.a.s.t.a.r.d did not return the companys Gemini and Para share cards.

Forget about the cards, I am afraid he will use Jayas hair strands for curse or hex. Cindy explained

Haha, your imagination is rich Cindy. Dont worry he is just a cowardly harmless stalker. He is doing what all the stalkers do!

All the more reason to worry Cindy emphasised.

Reaching an impa.s.se Jaya and Cindy turned to Diana.

Leave him be, the circle is interested in him. But to be safe
