“So reliable. After graduating and before getting a job here, I worked with them for a while,” Clare said, making Amanda study her.
“You are in the IT department so can you tell me what you are trying to say?” Amanda said coldly as she hated being lied to.
“Madam. I majored in computer science but minored in fashion design. Every worker in this company has studied fashion design,” Clare explained while the others nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing this, both Amanda and James were speechless and didn’t know what to say.
“Madam, sir Jason and even his late father always employed people who have studied fashion design even though they won’t be working in the designing department. Some who majored in marketing and minored in design are in the sales and marketing department. Those who majored in design are always employed and work in the designing department,” Winnie explained.
“Are you saying that everyone can sew and draw sketches?” Amanda asked.
“Yes madam,” they all said as they nodded their heads.
“If that’s the case, I think they were always so careful with whom they employed. I won’t change that 'cause it seems to be the tradition of this company. Actually, I am in love with that idea. And since you all can sew and there are a total of a hundred employees who can sew then you will all help out in the sewing so that we can complete everything once and for all. You will get extra earnings of course. I am saying this because you are all free as there is nothing to do for now in your departments. So you inform everyone,” Amanda said, making Clare dumbfounded because she didn’t think that her trying to help would lead to them being overworked.
“I will employ employees after we release our products and start making profits so that people can be willing to work for our company,” Amanda told them.
“Madam, since that issue is solved then what about the fabrics and paints?” Winnie said worriedly.
“Since none of the manufacturers are willing to sell it to us, we can just buy them from other cities. I will take care of them. Guess everything is settled?” Amanda asked as she looked at them waiting to see whether there was anyone else with a question.
“Miss, you have forgotten that the company has no cafeteria. Where will they be eating as they extend and work extra hard. After all, people tend to get hungry easily when they are working,” James told her as he looked at him.
“The building next to us is empty? Can one buy it?” Amanda asked.
“Yes miss. I had checked the buildings surrounding us,” James answered.
“This company is so little. Since that is a new building and has more than seventy floors, you can buy it before someone else buys it. I have high goals for these companies, thus we need larger buildings. The building opposite us is also empty and has a lot of floors. Go check its price. We can turn it into a hotel but our workers can always eat food there for free or at a low price,” Amanda said, shocking everyone.
“But miss. All known chefs are employed,” James said, making Amanda roll her eyes.
“Call my aunt and Marco and tell them I am back in the country and I want a hotel next to my working space. The rest leave it to them,” Amanda said, making James nod his head as he wondered how he had forgotten that they have chefs in their family.
“Miss, didn’t you say that you don’t want your family’s naggings?” James asked as he was confused.
“I want to earn money and if they can help me get more money then I am fine with anything. But it will still take time before they open it. It can even take more than three months because Marco is always so lazy. Since we need to be eating as we work. Guess my sister’s hotel can do it. Tell the manager to deliver food for everyone here. On me. Anything else?” Amanda said as she looked at James.
“No miss,” he said as he shook his head.
“I have one more thing to tell you. When everything is over and when we transfer into that building, I might promote people thus you work extra hard and tell the others. I will look at who has contributed the most. Who knows, any of you might become my secretary and learn more from James and me or even better become the company’s vice president. Winnie, bring the drafts in here. The designing department has only thirty minutes to rest then we will all meet here since we can fit in here. Also, I need four people from the other departments, two who should sit at the receptionist's desk and the others on the top floor since James has something else to do. You are all dismissed,” Amanda said as she stood up.
Amanda walked in the corridor and some people were waiting in the lobby on that floor. She looked at them with questioning eyes but she did not go to them. As if knowing what she wanted, James went to them.
“Good afternoon, sir. We got a call here that there is some furniture needed. We came to hear your preferences since we were not told,” the woman said, making James nod.
“I am really sorry. I forgot about that since we were busy. Our boss is so…. Anyways, I think you know what she needs 'cause you are also the same people who sent furniture to her house,” James said.
“What’s the client's name sir?” the woman asked.
“Amanda Anderson,” he answered.
“Oh. Do you need furniture just like how her study was made?”
“If possible, yes. Also, get a new bed, shelves, everything. You know no one is supposed to know that Miss Anderson is in the city and in this company. If we hear anything then…”
“I will have to pay for the damages caused,” the woman finished his sentence making James nod his head.
“Good, you can bring everything after thirty minutes. You will be guided by some receptionist and secretaries,” James said, making the people confused as they had not seen any receptionist and secretaries but they dared not ask.
“Okay.”
Downstairs on the ground floor, there was a woman dressed in designing clothes and accessories.
“I want to see that bitch.”
