Volume 9 Chapter 42: Spur Of The Moment
Later, Keith headed to the dessert shop. When he did, he was quite surprised by the change. The inside was a beautiful shade of sky blue. It was painted as soon as everything was moved away. He nodded at the sight, “Good, it’s going at a good pace.” With this, he could make it work in a week or two.
But that was not the only thing he was focusing on right now. The next place he headed to was White Owl Merchant. There, May was already there before him.
“May, are the people here?” Besides staring at the dessert section, it was time to recruit new talent. May had already asked them to come to the store so they could interview them.
“Mmhmm,” May nodded. Like that, the interview began. There were a variety of different people wanting to work for him. All of them are really good. Keith nodded at the experience these people had.
“What do you think, Young Master?”
“They’re good. I think a few things would eke the others out.” One tiny thing could make the person look better.
“Call the next person in.”
“Mmhmm.” And the next person entered.
“Hello, My name is Ella.”
“An elf?” Keith was surprised that an elf would want to look for work here. But then he apologized, “Sorry about my words. This is my first time seeing an elf in the northern region.” He saw dwarves and beastmen. But he had never seen an elf in the northern region.
“It’s fine,” Ella understood why he was startled.
“Can I ask you why you want to work for me?”
“I want to work for you because I heard that you don’t discriminate between races. In addition, you treat your workers well.” This was known throughout everyone. The workers' treatment was incredible; this was especially rare with different races.
“It said you have experience in baking?”
“Mmhmm, I used to learn in a bakery for a couple of years.”
So she could have a manager position. However,
“Can you learn on the fly?” That was something he needed to know. Working at the dessert bar was still in the testing phase. More items were going to be added, and they needed to be able to learn quickly.
“Yes. I’ve been told that I’ve been quite a fast learner. I'd be better if I saw hands-on.” Ella revealed. When that was said, Keith nodded, “Understood. Our staff will post the names of people after an hour,” There was no need for them to wait since May had gotten them through some specific headhunting.
“What do you think?” May questioned.
“She could be the manager, but I have to see if she could work with other people,” Elves were one of the races that were awkward around others. That was only because they were captured and sold as slaves a long time ago.
“Then Ralph should be watching over them for now.” Ralph could manage something like this.
“But she’s definitely one of them.” Ella was in his books. She was definitely a core member there. May nodded, “Then these people should be good for supporting her.”
“Mmhmm, so the decision is this?” Keith looked at the participants there, and May agreed. And that was when the names were posted. Some cheered while others groaned.
“For those who have passed, you guys will start learning right now.” Most of the people he picked were those who could learn as quickly as possible.
…
When Keith and May returned home, they noticed a carriage in front of the mansion.
“Grandpa, Grandma, you guys here? Also, Grandpa Cedric as well?” This was a surprise. It was none other than Lionel and Camelia. And they were not alone, as Cedric was with them as well.
“Of course, we would come here after hearing about your dessert shop,” Camelia grinned,
“…” Oh yeah, I did send a letter to them. In the letter to his grandma, he talked about his plans to make a dessert shop and the completion of the chocolate company.
“Keith, how could you do something like this and not call your own grandma,” Camelia was quite angry. She couldn’t believe she had missed the opening of one of his stores!
“It was one of the spur-of-the-moment things.”
“Kid, that is not a spur-of-the-moment thing. It’s more of a crazy thing,” Cedric groaned.
“Umm, why are you here?” He understood Lionel and Camelia. He didn’t understand so much about the ex-grand-duke here.
“That’s because I saw Lionel leaving and followed him.”
Lionel grabbed his head. This guy had been staying at his mansion, waiting for something like this to happen. Krystal looked away, trying her best not to do so. When the group entered the living room,
“How many days till the opening?”
“Hmm, it will be a few days or so.” The people that he hired were going to learn how to bake his recipes. And from how he taught them, it seemed they got it. Most of the recipes had a basis with a variation of different flavors.
“I’ve got to check out that chocolate factory later,” Cedric was quite interested in it. Keith nodded, “Go ahead. It’s open for everyone.” Anyone could buy chocolate. And it was going quite strong as well.
“Are they going to be fine working like that?” Every single day, there would be a long line waiting outside. This caused Walter and the others to work overtime.
“They’re fine. They’re doing a two-squad rotation where one squad makes the chocolate and then shifts to the second squad after a few hours.”That was something that could make their lives infinitely easier.
“That’s good!” Cedric grinned.
