Giving an Extreme Offer

"Yes, you dumb fuck. Now how do you think you're gonna escape because of this? Don't even try saving your ass by saying that your boss is the investor of this Mall because in her eyes it absolutely doesn't mean anything. I mean, do you really think that if one investor dropped out no one will try to take that position? You do realize that this Mall is the largest, famous, and the one that generates the most money, right?" John sneered as he just couldn't contain his anger, but because he didn't want to look like a bad guy to everyone, especially to his boss, he kept himself from kicking the manager even though every fiber of his being was telling him to do so.

"I'll give you two options. Your option one is to take my punishment wholeheartedly without complaining, which is by tomorrow I want you gone. As for your second option, you can ask her, and she will give you the punishment that she wants. But I recommend that you choose mine, because… trust me when I say this, you do not want to get punished by her." John said with a solemn look on his face and his words sent shivers through everyone because he was clearly showing fear towards the woman in front of him.

Mio however simply chuckled at John's words because she knew that he was just trying to protect his staff from her by choosing the first option, the only reason that he even gave out two is because out of courtesy and respect towards her.

"Heh… I'm not that kind of person, John, and you know that your words hurt, you know?" Mio smiled playfully as she looked at him with her cold and indifferent eyes and when John saw it, he almost shivered in fear. Those eyes, he was all too familiar with that, and after spending so many years working with her, she knew those eyes very well.

"I know, Miss Yuki. But I know how you work-, I'm sorry, it seems that I have crossed the line" John said with a deep voice as he almost sounded that he was about to cry out of fear and when people saw this, the answer was already clear. If the boss of the Mall is this terrified of the owner, that could really only mean one thing, the Manager would simply be stupid if he chooses option two.

"I will hand in my resignation letter tomorrow." The manager's voice was full of dread and fear as he simply stood up quietly before bowing towards Mio to apologize before running towards the exit as he could no longer handle and stared and the embarrassment that he was feeling. When Mio saw this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Meanwhile, John sighed in relief as he knew that he saved another person from Mio. Just as he was getting ready to say his goodbye to Mio since the conflict was already over, he was stopped by Mio's words.

"Where do you think you're going? I don't remember sending you away just yet." Mio suddenly said which made John freeze, he already knew what was coming from him and he merely accepted his fate. So he just turned around getting ready to apologize and just as he was about to kneel on the ground to apologize, Mio opened her mouth again and

"You still need an assistant, right?" Mio simply asked as she placed the plushie back on the counter and was getting ready to pay for it, her question already made John speechless, but he soon came out of his stupor, and answered Mio's question.

"Well, yes. But I haven't seen any people who can fit that job. You know me, boss, what I want is an attentive, speedy but careful, and good at their work. Of course, I also would want someone kind, but that is just a bonus." John answered with a straight face, but as soon as he heard the words that came out of his Boss, he was shocked.

"If that is what you are looking for, I already found a candidate for that. Take this woman here, she might be great for the job as your assistant." Mio said as she pointed at the store clerk who helped her.

"What? Me!? No, excuse me, but I don't think I'm fit for that job, I'm just a mere store clerk. Also if I may say, I don't need you to thank me in this way, because it doesn't matter to me who you were at that time, I merely helped you at that time." The store clerk shook her head as she was so shocked that Mio suddenly pointed at her.

Mio who saw this grinned even more, the more she looked at her the more pleasing she got in her eyes. She was a smart woman, and even though she wanted to help her with the manager who was bullying her, she also didn't because she didn't want to lose her job. That is the kind of person that Mio likes, they are smart, but also selfish for themselves.

"See, so what do you say? Would you try to take her in, little John?" Mio asked slyly as she looked at John with amusement in her face as she waited for John to make a choice. But it doesn't really matter to her whether John would take her in because even if he doesn't she would like to take her in and give her a job, but it wasn't because of her help, it was simply because she sees something in her.

"I'll give her a chance, but if I don't see any results within 2 months. I will bring her back to you boss, is that alright?" John simply relented as it seemed that there was no way out for him to refuse. When Mio heard her, she just smiled and turned towards the store clerk.

"I'm sorry if this is too sudden. But don't worry, I'm not doing this out of kindness. I can see that you are a smart woman, so I will give you a chance to have a better job than this. So what do you say, Miss?" Mio simply asked as she waited for her answer.

The store clerk then begins to think of the pros and cons of accepting the offer, but no matter how hard she tries. The offer was simply too good to refuse, being the assistant of the current boss of the Mall is simply too great.

"My name is Cia Colbert. As for the offer, if you will truly have the patience for me, I will accept it. I will try my best to work under the two of you." Cia bowed her head as tons of emotion began to surge inside her right now.

"Then I hope you bring me some good news. Oh yes, I forgot. Scan this Plushie for me will you? I'm running late now and before you say anything, I don't like to take anything even if I'm the founder of this Mall, because it's just wrong. I mean you know our policy here." Mio smiled as she placed back the Plushie on the counter and waited patiently.
