You'll Really Die if You're Not Careful

Manard stood beside Jeffree's desk with a respectful expression on his face as he replied, "After you agreed for Mars to join Young Mistress Gloria at the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, the shop's sales have not shown any marked improvements. They're still incurring losses, but they've hired a lot of staff to sort out the textiles left over from past years."

"Sorting out textiles from past years?" Jeffree's brows furrowed upon hearing that as he said, "They can't even sell the textiles from this year; what's the point in sorting through textiles from the past years? Is Mars also becoming a child from interacting with one?"

Manard stood respectfully off to the side and didn't say anything. He had no right to state any opinions on his young predecessor. In any case, Jeffree was only musing to himself rather than asking for his opinion anyway.
