“These two were discussing such vulgar things in broad daylight with me right there. When I pointed it out to them, the Boss reprimanded me, and the client mocked me. Big Sis, I really did not do anything wrong. You have to believe me.” Corey explained everything to Susan from the start without exaggerating.
“A… correction, I didn’t reprimand her but taught her that as a card creationist, it is not our job to judge our customers but help them. But it seems my words fell on deaf ears. She stuck to her instincts and ended up creating a ruckus.” I explained my side of the story to Susan.
“…” Susan was torn between the two narratives of Corey and her boss. She understood where Corey was coming from. But as a professional, she agreed with her boss’s statement. Corey’s situation reminded her of her first Adult sales, the Sex Manic Card.
Six months into the job as guild association mall’s sales representative, Susan found herself with a customer who wanted to purchase the Sex Manic Card. By now, Susan was used to some of the customers hitting on her and had learned how to deal with them. Now, this customer was regular, never behaved inappropriately, and was a gentleman until one day he asked her to keep track of the Sex Manic card and to inform him if it were to appear in the market.
At that point in her career, Susan did not understand what was happening. That particular customer asked her to do so because he had grown to trust her and was willing to confide in her about his private and intimate purchase. It was too early in her career. Susan had minimal experience. Therefore, she couldn’t understand the customer’s perspective and ended up giving the customer a stink eye.
Feeling judgment in Susan’s eyes, the customer thanked her for her work and never contacted her again. Not until it was too late did Susan realize what had transpired. Sasan understood that the customer felt comfortable enough with her to share his intimate and private stuff, but her unprofessionalism had caused her to lose a good regular customer.
But Susan did not give up. Understanding her mistake, she decided to follow through on her client’s request. She went through the catalogs of different guild association mall branches, searching for a sex manic card once every week. And finally, in the fifth week, she found the card listed in one of the guild association mall branches.
As the regular customer, the customer, had given his personal contact information to Susan. Susan contacted the customer and apologized for her unprofessional behavior. And then reported the good news to the customer that she had found the card he wanted in one of the guild association mall branches. If he was willing to cover the transportation charges, she could get him the card by the next day at the earliest. That’s how Susan bagged her first personal client.
Based on personal mistakes, Susan knew that Corey might have gone overboard, but it was understandable. Considering Corey’s little experience and lack of contact with the opposite sex, this was bound to happen if she planned to continue in this line of work.
“Corey, I can understand why you behaved as such. But you can not continue to do so. In society, these things are expected. And especially in our business as a Sales representative or a card creationist. You are no longer a child. If you want to make a living in society, you must follow its rules. Especially when it comes to our clients, no matter what the job is, you swallow your opinion and have to be impartial and unbiased as you fulfill their demands without judgment.” After giving Corey an earful and seeing her reflect, Susan continued, ” Now apologize to the customer. It is up to him whether you keep your job. If he decides to complain about you, I will have to take action.”
“…” Hearing Susan’s decision, Corey’s face paled. She knew she had left a terrible impression on Kane since their first meeting in the morning. There was no way that brat would let her keep her job. Still, she couldn’t just give up. If she is going to go down, she might as well go down fighting. So she said, “Kane, I know I behaved very immaturely. My words were harsh, but they were spoken out of ignorance. But still, it was a mistake on my part, so I sincerely apologize and hope that you will forgive me.”
“You expect me to believe that bullshit. You have apologized earlier, and here we are, you repeated the same mistake again. How do I know that you are being serious this time?” Kane had already once received Corey’s apology. He decided to overlook her disrespect considering she worked for his idol, and she apologized to him, accepting her mistake. But Kane was not willing to let it slide once again.
“…” Hearing Kane, I gathered that today would be Corey’s last day working for my card boutique. From our conversation earlier, Kane should have understood that I was not on good terms with Corey, and he would not let Corey go scot-free this time out of consideration for me.
“…” Corey understood this was a doomed struggle. No matter how much she apologized or graveled, Kane will not forgive her, and that pervert will have her job just to see her suffer. Just then, Corey’s eyes shone with brilliance as she thought, ‘That’s right, this guy is a creep and a pervert. He might hate me, but there is one thing in my arsenal which can make all this mess go away.’
“I am being serious this time. To show how serious I am, let me invite you to dinner, just the two of us, after your origin card creation. Please allow me to make up for my mistakes.” Corey’s brilliant epiphany was to seduce the sad virgin to save her job.
