The Villainess Aims For A Peaceful Life 21 I Seem To Have Forgotten Something

"Who is it?"

"Sir Leon Alby, son of the Viscount Alby"

OMG! I totally forgot about him yesterday! I was so upset with Niisan and worried on how well Fame opening would go that our appointment didn't even register on my mind.

"Ask him to come, bring some chocolate and sandwiches"

No long after, the door opened revealing a medium size guy with blonde hair and big green eyes. He had a baby face that screamed bite me.

"H-h.e.l.lo, Miss Flower, no Miss Cecile, I'm Leon Alby, I came to report for work"

Miss Flower! Pff! He is even blus.h.i.+ng, how cute! For me he could already be hired just for the unintended compliment.

"h.e.l.lo Sir Leon, please sit down. May I call you just Leo?"

"Y-Yes! It would be my honor Miss Cecile"

"Ok, so tell me Leo, what is it that you specialize on?"

"Well at our Academy I am really in good in all subjects besides the ones involving physical activity and social interaction. Although I am not bad on those, it's barely average."

Bad in social interactions. It seems that the secretary job will be hard for him, but he needs to challenge himself so that he can get better at it.

"I see. The position that I thought of is my secretary, what you think? I'll drill all my knowledge of social interaction in you but you must be up to the challenge. Do you agree?"

"Yes Miss!"

"I will ask someone to make your contract, it will probably be done by the end of the day. Take these pile of doc.u.ments and see if you find any mistakes in the accounts. If you have any question you can ask anytime. Also a week and a half from now we will be opening the Pondus and the department store. The department store still doesn't have a name, I want you by the end of the week give me 3 suggestions of names"

"Yes Miss"

"You will use this desk in front. You can feel at home and do whatever you want with with your desk. In a bit Mary will bring our snacks. They are some of the products that will be available at the cafe"

"Thank you Miss Cecile"

"You can start now"

As we went back to our work, I keep feeling that I forgot something.

Mary only came back an hour after Leo entered. My dear did you perhaps went to plant dony?

"What happened Mary?"

"Sorry Miss, there was no bread anymore so I had to go back to Mansion to get some"

The appet.i.te of my employees is amazing.

"Leo lets take a break"

Cleansing my hand with hand sanitizer cream I pa.s.sed it to Leo, who looked at me with a puzzled face.

"What is this Miss?"

"It's a cleansing cream. Instead of was.h.i.+ng your hands before eat you can just use it, has the same effect and hydrate your hands. It will sell on the department store. Do you want some?"

"Can I? My mom will surely love it!"

"Sure, before leaving ask to Mary, she will give you some. Also make sure to ask her to advertise the product to her friends"

Sitting down and starting to eat, I wonder what reaction Leo will have to chocolate.

"!!!!"

If we were in a manga Leo'a eyes would be sparkling. He is so amusing, my days will be much more fun from now on.

"This is amazing Miss! What is the name?"

"Chocolate, it's from the dony plant. Besides the drink we can also make many types of sweets from it. And we have many variations of this drink too. I'm glad that you like. For the next days we will taste different drinks that will be on the cafe menu, so that we can make adjustments"

"Miss Cecile you are amazing! When all the girls of the kingdom are worried about the Royal Banquet two days from now, you are very relaxed about it and focus on you job instead!"

Hm?

I think I just heard something worrisome.

"Repeat that"

"Miss is amazing"

"After that"

"The ladies are worried about the social banquet?"

Tilting his head, Leo looked puzzled

"What is wrong Miss? Did I say something wrong?"

I can't tell the truth or else my image as a competent Boss will collapse.

"No. I was thinking this is a perfect chance to advertise our department store. Let's go, I will give you a tour of the factory and we will choose the products that we want. Did you family already have their attires?"

Scratching his head, Leo look a bit embarra.s.sed.

"Mum bought but because the demand for now is really big, the quality we got is not one of the bests"

"Is it so? So We will pick Mother first and then we will pick your mother. Come"

...

"Mother, this is my superior now, Miss Cecile. She wants to give us the clothes from our store so we can attend the Royal Banquet with them and advertise the brand."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss Cecile. I'm the Viscountess Alby. We will be delighted if we could use your brand. The clothes we got were not satisfactory but because the demand is big I couldn't find anything better, you would be truly a life saver"

"How can it be? That you could dress our brand is my pleasure. We should go before it gets too late"

I need to make both of our families the prettiest of the party. My sales depend on that.
