"Big Sister looks so beautiful when she's eating. Her light purple eyes are so beautiful." Amy sat behind the counter with her chin resting on her hand as she watched Gloria eat with amazement written all over her face.
After quietly finishing her breakfast, Gloria paid the driver and got up to leave. When she reached the entrance of the restaurant, she turned back to look at the kitchen and saw Meg's serious face cooking in the kitchen. Her face blushed inexplicably as she pushed open the door and quickly walked out. She ignored the shocked expression on the driver's face and directly said, "Go to the Suede Textiles Shop."
"Yes … Yes, Young Mistress," the driver hurriedly replied before driving the carriage away.
…
"The new boss is coming today. Everyone, be alert. Don't leave a bad impression on the first day." In the Suede Textiles Shop, the store manager had a serious expression on her face as she lectured the five or six employees in the shop. She tidied up her clothes and walked toward the entrance of the shop while looking around nervously.
"What kind of person do you think the new boss is going to be? I heard last time that our shop was going to be closed, but the president insisted on keeping it open. Otherwise, all of us would have lost our jobs, "one of the employees whispered.
"I heard that the young mistress of the First Young Master's family is coming this time. Apparently, she has been designated by the president as a candidate to inherit Family Moreton. She has the same status as the Second Young Master," another employee chimed in.
"She's that powerful? Doesn't that mean that she could become the leader of Family Moreton in the future? As long as we serve her well, we might be able to get promoted in the future, right? "a skinny employee said with anticipation in her eyes.
"If she really had that kind of ability, then she wouldn't have been sent to the Suede Textiles Shop to be the boss." A slightly chubby employee pursed her lips and said with disdain, "How can she compete with the Second Young Master here? Also, I heard that the young mistress of the First Young Master's family has been wearing a veil since she was a child and doesn't dare to show her true face to others. If you ask me, I'm sure she's very ugly or has something on her face that can't be seen. How could someone like that become the successor to Family Moreton? "
"Really?" All the shop assistants were shocked when they heard this. They looked curiously at the slightly plump shop assistant, wanting to hear some gossip about the new boss from her mouth. After all, such a big family was very far away from them.
"Why would I lie to you? I heard this from one of my sisters at the Moreton Manor. She said that this young lady wears a veil when she's at home, and no one has ever seen what she looks like. She doesn't even take it off when she's eating. How ugly must she be to have to cover her face like that? Is she worried that people won't be able to eat if they look at her?" The slightly plump employee continued with a smug look on her face.
"Is this place not open for business yet?" At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted everyone's conversation.
The shop assistants looked up, and their eyes lit up. A young girl in a pink dress was standing in the shop. She had a noble pink dress, an elegant temperament, and a stunning appearance. The shop assistants couldn't take their eyes off her.
"We are already open for business. What kind of fabric would you like to choose? You're so beautiful; you're like a goddess who has descended from the heavens. "The slightly plump employee hurriedly approached her with a fawning smile on her face.
"I'm not here to choose fabric." Gloria's expression was slightly cold as she shook her head at the slightly plump employee.
"Then who are you?" The slightly plump employee looked at Gloria with a perplexed expression.
The other shop assistants also wore similar expressions. The Suede Textiles Shop's business had been very poor in the past few years, and they couldn't sell more than a few meters of fabric in a day. That money wasn't even enough to cover their salaries. In any case, with the president's protection, the shop would continue to operate regardless of how bad the business was, so there was no risk of them losing their jobs.
It was exactly because of this that the shop assistants had always been very lax in their service. Most customers didn't care what they wanted to buy, and they didn't care. It was only when they encountered customers who were obviously very wealthy and would buy a lot of fabric in one go that they would treat them well. This young girl with an extraordinary temperament was clearly one of those customers, but she was telling them that she wasn't here to buy fabric?
"I'm the young mistress of the Moreton Family, Gloria Moreton. She's so ugly that you're worried others won't be able to eat," Gloria said calmly as she looked at the slightly plump employee.
"How … How is that possible?!" The slightly plump employee's expression changed drastically as she saw Gloria stumble back a few steps. Her legs gave out from under her, and she fell to the ground. Her hand that was holding onto the shelf toppled over, and all of the fabric on the shelf fell onto her head. A large red bump immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Boss … Boss!" The shop assistants were also panicking. They were talking behind their boss' back, and even Family Moreton. This wasn't a small matter, and it was enough to cause all of them to lose their jobs.
"Young … Young Mistress, you're here. I'm the manager of Suede Textiles Shop, Jean. I didn't expect you to arrive so early." The manager who was standing at the door hurriedly ran in when she heard the commotion. She couldn't hide her surprise when she saw Gloria. She had purposely asked around yesterday, so she had been paying attention to the woman in the gauze hat. She didn't expect Gloria to have already arrived.
She had also heard the discussion of the shop assistants. She had heard a lot of these words yesterday. Moreover, she had always been in charge of this shop. Now that a new boss had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, she felt a little uncomfortable. Therefore, she deliberately ignored the gossip of the shop assistants. Perhaps the young lady would leave on her own in a few days.
However, it was a different story if Gloria were to hear those words. Furthermore, this was only the first day that Gloria was badmouthing her in front of her boss, and as the store manager, she didn't stop them. Cold sweat was already pouring down Ji En's forehead as she lowered her head, trying to think of a way to resolve the situation.
Gloria only looked at Jean and the shop assistants calmly. She didn't say anything, but her clenched fists showed that she didn't care. It was more like she was accumulating anger.
"Young Mistress, Boss, I was just talking nonsense. I shouldn't have said those things. I know I was wrong … Please, please don't fire me …" The slightly plump employee slapped her own mouth and sat on the ground, crying bitterly.
"Family Moreton's rules state that all employees are not allowed to talk about family members behind their backs. Once discovered, they will be fired." Gloria was unmoved. She looked at the slightly plump employee and said coldly, "So, you're fired."
Gloria looked like she was struck by lightning. She looked at Gloria as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
All of the employees were a little flustered, and didn't dare to look at Gloria with their heads bowed. This young woman was as beautiful as a goddess, yet she was so decisive and merciless. She had only just arrived at the shop, but she had already fired Gloria. Would all of them, who had participated in the discussion just then, be fired as well?
"Hello, Miss Gloria." Right at this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door, and Mars strode in slowly in a long black trench coat. He took off his hat, and extended a salute toward Gloria. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, but he didn't show any signs of unease on his face.
"Mars? Why are you here? " Gloria looked at Mars with surprise. She had heard about Cyril and Mars being punished. That day in the Aden Chamber of Commerce building, Mars didn't sell her out. She also remembered that when she was young, this uncle seemed to have a good relationship with her father.
"The president asked me to leave the Aden Chamber of Commerce. I can choose any store in Family Moreton. I heard that Young Mistress is here, so I applied to come here. The higher-ups have already agreed." Mars nodded slightly.
