94 An Unexpected Deal (1/2)
Julie saw Oscro's complex face after she announced her identity and chuckled; most people had that reaction after hearing who she was.
However, Oscro's next action surprised her.
”I really admire you for creating the Thousand Roses Company and lead it to the success, but I still need to think about all our customers and can't give you preferential treatment. I am sorry.”
Oscro's professionalism won against his emotions, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Thousand Roses Company, but he can't show partiality towards one customer on the first day and neglect the others.
”You rejected my offer after I showed my identity? Alright.”
Julie gave back Wyba to Yale, and he then gave her to the next customer, a middle-aged woman who wanted both services.
Oscro bowed towards Julie before she left in a bad mood. If he had shown a preference towards her, maybe the Frost Wolf Company would have been able to become a branch of the Thousand Roses Company, Julie already absorbed some companies which she liked.
However, Oscro didn't want to become someone else subordinate; he wanted to have the same success as the Thousand Roses Company not merge with them.
Fortunately, nothing more happened until the sky started to turn dark and Oscro announced that they would stop until the next day. He didn't lie to Yale when said that he hadn't planned to work without stop.
Moreover, the benefits they obtained that day were already superior to those obtained in a day of full work at the Outside Town, so they were happy while they left the big street.
Yale was planning to return to the inn, and Oscro was going to return to his parents' house when a voice called for them.
”Wait there! Do you plan to ignore me?”
That was Julie's voice who had followed them until the crowd dispersed enough for them to hear her; she had been calling them for some minutes.
”What do you want?”
Oscro didn't want to disrespect her more, but if she were unreasonable about Wyba, he wouldn't yield.
”I only want to speak with you two; I even waited until you finished your business, I hope you don't ignore me now.”
Oscro didn't have any good reason to refuse her, so he ended up agreeing, only speaking with her wasn't problematic. Moreover, there could be a chance to improve her impression of them; at least Oscro didn't want that the Thousand Roses Company try to oppress them.
”Very well. We can talk in a restaurant I know; there are private rooms where no one will be able to spy on us.”
Oscro agreed to follow her, but he feared that Julie wanted to discuss things that weren't good to be heard by others after she mentioned the private rooms. However, Oscro had confidence in that no one would try anything against their lives inside Trade City; it didn't matter if she was the founder of a gold rank company.
They reached a luxurious restaurant which casually also belonged to the Thousand Roses Company.
”Do you plan to force us to spend money in your restaurant?”
Julie chuckled at Oscro's remark; he was too skeptic.
”Of course not, this is my treat. Moreover, I bought this restaurant because I liked it. The employees are the same as before; even the previous owner still works here, I only provide money to them, the management is the same as before I bought it.”
Oscro sighed in relief because that restaurant's prices were extremely high, their business had just started, he didn't want to waste such amount of money.
Furthermore, he was shocked that Julie bought the restaurant but let the previous owner manage it, usually after one buys a restaurant, the former owner stop having relations with it.
”A private room for the three of us.”
Julie's words had an instantaneous effect on the employees, they all bowed their heads and led them to a luxurious private room, which was the best they had and was always reserved only for Julie.
Yale noticed that those employees looked at Julie with veneration in their eyes.
Julie seated in her favorite place and remained silent for a few minutes until some waiters and waitresses brought their food. That was like a banquet, with a lot of different food and all of them of the highest quality.
”Eat whatever you want, we can talk later. It is more delicious while being hot.”
Julie started eating without waiting for an answer; she gave a different impression from her previous self.
Yale appraised the food, and as there wasn't any problem with it, he also started eating; even Wyba jumped onto the table and began to eat.
