Chapter 991: Intermission - Day in the life of *Haley* (1)
"Boss, there's another order here."
The door to Haley's office opened when this voice rang out and there were several people that came in with stacks of papers in their hands.
They were surprised to see Haley just seemingly staring off into space, but the one that led this group of people holding papers said, "Boss, you can't just slack off because there's a big deal coming. It just means that there's a lot of things that we have to prepare before that big deal happens."
Haley seemed to snap out of her daze when she heard what he said before saying, "I'm not slacking off, I'm just thinking about something."
After saying this, she stood up and moved towards the group that had brought the stack of papers in.
Looking at the stack of papers for a bit, she asked, "Kevin, why are there some orders missing?"
The one that she was talking to was the leader of this group, he was the one that had been with her since her first store. He had climbed his way up over the years and currently he was the manager of the store that she was in.
Shaking his head, Kevin said with a sigh, "Everyone can sense what is coming, so there are less people buying. They are all waiting for the dust to settle before they make a commitment."
Haley didn't blame him as she just nodded in agreement.
But after looking at the stack of papers for a bit, she said, "They'll regret it when the time comes...eep!"
"Huh?" All of the people who were carrying stacks of paper looked at Haley in shock when they heard this sound.
However, Haley had already made her face go blank and acted as if nothing happened.
With how it seemed like nothing had changed, they couldn't help feeling that they had heard wrong.
After all, it didn't seem like anything happened...
But it was hard for them to forget the sound that they just heard.
It really seemed like Haley had made a sound just now...
In the end, it was Kevin who said, "Do you want to go and take a look at the store now?"
He knew what she was thinking since he had worked with her for so long.
He knew better than these staff members that had only been working here for a while that the sound that they heard earlier wasn't false. They had indeed heard this sound from Haley.
Though the reason why she made that sound... he had no idea.
It wasn't his place to ask about it, he just had to do his job.
But Kevin was surprised to find that Haley didn't agree right away.
Instead of agreeing right away like she normally did, she just stood there in silence as if she was thinking about something. And since the boss didn't say anything, it wasn't as if anyone else dared to say anything.
There was this awkward silence that filled the air.
Or there would have been this awkward silence if not for...
"Bzzt..."
It was very faint, but it sounded like there was something that was vibrating...
They didn't know where it was coming from since it was too faint to tell where the source of it was, but they could hear this thing vibrating.
It was only when that vibrating sound stopped that Haley said, "Alright, let's go and take a look."
Everyone had strange looks on their faces when they heard this since they could tell that Haley only spoke when this strange vibrating sound stopped. It was almost as if Haley had something to do with this vibrating sound.
But no one dared to say a thing since she was their boss in the end.
At the same time, Kevin had already shot a glare at them to keep them silent.
He didn't know what was happening either, but he knew that this was a private matter for Haley. After all, this was something that she and her husband were doing...
He knew all about the strange things that they liked to do since he had been the one that had been left in charge of getting things for Haley...such as certain outfits for the bedroom.
So he didn't question it and just did his job.
As for the other staff members, they should do the same thing.
Haley walked slowly as if she was thinking about something, but Kevin who was familiar with her could tell that she was walking slowly not because she was lost in thought. Rather, she was walking slowly because it seemed like there was something happening with her legs... Regardless of what it was, it wasn't his place to talk about it.
Their group came out to the front of the store.
Though Haley had said that business was down, it really didn't seem like it with how popular this store was.
This was the new store that they had opened up in the capital recently.
With the promotions and the reputation that Haley had, it was impossible for their opening to be lackluster. There were so many people that it was impossible to find any free space in the
store.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But most of these people seemed like they were commoners.
It didn't seem like there were any nobles among them.
That was because the nobles disdained lining up and crowding in the store like this.
That was what the stack of papers that Kevin and the other staff members brought in were.
These were the orders from the nobles that they would need to fulfill.
However, that didn't mean that there weren't any nobles at all.
There were still nobles that came and the reason for that was...
"Miss Haley, it really is a lovely day. I thought that I wouldn't have the chance to see your beautiful face."
A smiling chubby middle aged man walked over with two guards by his side.
There were nobles like this that tried to get any advantage that they could.
