"Young Mistress, I've worked at the Suede Textiles Shop for over 10 years, and I know everything here like the back of my hand. I'm sure that I can help you make the Suede Textiles Shop prosper again, so please give me another chance." The store manager's expression changed as she pleaded in an earnest manner.
"Seeing as you've worked here for over 10 years without making any progress, there's no point in keeping you here." Gloria shook her head as she looked at the store manager, and said, "Besides, I'm not going to keep a store manager who can't even keep the employees in line. I'll get them to assign you a new job, so you can pack up and leave now."
The store manager's mouth gaped open slightly at the sight of Gloria, but she didn't say anything in the end. Instead, she bowed to Gloria before making her way to the lounge to pack her things.
All the employees were speechless when they saw this scene. It was one thing for Gloria to be fired, but even the store manager was expelled at the same time. This new boss was simply terrifying. It didn't match her beautiful and charming appearance at all, and it wasn't the legendary image of a woman who didn't dare to show her face.
"Compared to the young master, Young Mistress seems to be more suited for this job. Removing her veil is like removing her shackles; perhaps this is what it means to be a natural talent? She's even more like the president when it comes to rules and regulations. " Mars appraised Gloria with a hint of approval in his eyes, and he clenched his fists as a determined look appeared in his eyes. "Looks like all I have to do is stand by Young Mistress's side like my father did for the president. I have to watch her ascend to that position and ensure that the Moreton Manor continues to prosper, at least for as long as I can see."
"Allow me to reintroduce myself; I am Gloria Moreton, your new boss." Gloria turned to the employees with a faint smile on her face before pointing at Mars. "This is Mr. Mars, the former secretary general of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. He will be the new store manager of the Suede Textiles Shop."
All of the employees drew a sharp breath at the sight of Mars. They were already quite surprised that their new boss had such a lofty status, but who would've thought that the new store manager would be just as astonished? The secretary of the president was the most trusted person in the entire Aden Chamber of Commerce, so why would she be the store manager of a small textiles shop?
Thinking back to what Gloria had said, everyone suddenly realized something. Gloria most likely hadn't come here because she had been abandoned by the president. Instead, she was being held in high regard by the president. Even though the Blue Suede Textiles Shop was currently in an awkward situation, the Moreton Family had relied on this textiles shop to build up its current fortune.
The store manager faltered in the process of packing up her things, and a dejected expression appeared on her face. She was filled with boundless remorse for her foolish actions in the morning. Perhaps she had missed the only opportunity in her life to become a high-ranking official of the Aden Chamber of Commerce.
Gloria didn't know how she had gotten up from the ground, but she was able to pick up her things and leave the shop that she had worked in for eight years. The only thing she knew was that if she were to be fired by Family Moreton, the shops affiliated with the Aden Chamber of Commerce would generally refuse to accept her. As such, her dream of finding a decent and comfortable job in Chaos City would be completely dashed.
Gloria looked at all of the employees with a serious expression, and announced, "I have an announcement to make today. Before I came here, the president gave me an ultimatum. He only gave the Suede Textiles Shop one month to turn a profit. If the Suede Textiles Shop can't turn a profit within a month, then this shop that has been operating for 57 years in the Aden Square will be closed, and all of its employees, including me, will be fired."
All of the employees' expressions changed upon hearing this, and they all looked at one another with panicked expressions, but no one dared to say anything.
They were well aware of the situation of the Suede Textiles Shop. There had been a huge backlog of fabrics in the shop for many years, and just the storage and maintenance of those fabrics required a lot of manpower and expenditure. It was simply impossible for the shop to turn a profit within a month.
"One … One month! Young Mistress … Isn't that a little too short? "the petite employee asked in a quiet voice, not daring to look up at Gloria.
Gloria shook her head, and said, "If something can't be changed within a month, then it can't be changed within three months. This is just like the ultimatum that was given to you three years ago. However, this time, it's the president's decision."
"Yes, Young Mistress, we will do our best to turn the store's losses into profits within the next month." Mars stepped forward and stood in front of all of the employees with a smile on his face.
All of the employees looked on at Mars's departing figure, and they gradually calmed down. This was the president's most trusted man, and he was able to do as he pleased in the Aden Chamber of Commerce. If he said that he could do it, then it definitely wouldn't be an issue.
"Alright, Mr. Mars, I'm sure you'll be able to do it." Gloria also looked at Mars with a smile on her face.

Following the conclusion of the morning opening hours, Meg was in a good mood as he carried a lounge chair to the entrance of the restaurant to bask in the sun. He then turned around to look at Yabemiya and Sally, who were in high spirits as they danced to the Elysium Jodo.
During this period of practice, the extremely talented Sally had already mastered the essence of this dance to perfection, and her every movement was filled with liveliness and seduction.
In contrast, Yabemiya, who was slightly less talented, had the advantage of more practice, so she had also mastered the technique of this dance very well. She was dancing quite well, and it looked as if she was enjoying herself.
"Life sure is enjoyable. The Elysium Jodo danced by elves and half-dragon humans can only be seen in this world." Meg stretched his back and closed his eyes. The autumn sun shone down on his body, and he was in a very good mood.
…
During dinner, Amy turned to Yabemiya and Sally with an expectant look in her eyes, and she asked, "Big Sister Mia, Big Sister Aisha, let's dance Spring Is Here for the kids tomorrow. Can the three of us dance together?"
"Huh?"
"Hmm?"
Yabemiya and Sally were both surprised to hear this.
"But … I've never danced in front of anyone before, and I'm not very good at it, so I feel a little embarrassed." Yabemiya's face was a little flushed, and her expression was also a little nervous.
"I … I've never danced in front of anyone before, either." Sally nodded in agreement. She had only danced in front of elves in the past, so she wasn't lying.
"Don't worry, Big Sister Mia is really good at dancing. The kids will definitely love it. Big Sister Aisha is so beautiful, so the kids will definitely love your dance. If we dance together, we'll be able to dance for the three of us. " Amy looked at the two of them encouragingly before turning to Meg with a pout on her little lips. "Father, don't you think so?"
"All three of you dance very well. I'm sure the kids will love it." Meg nodded with a smile at the sight of the adorable little ones.
