Chapter 117: Chapter 25. Conflict resolution

In the end, according to the results of the interview, three new employees now worked in our store. Jeremy, who was unable to be with me during the selection process, was as impressed as I was when he saw the staff I had selected.

«Camille, are you sure these guys know where they’re going...?»

Now that we have more workers, Jeremy and I finally have some free time to relax during the working day. That’s why my friend and I took a moment to sit quietly and have tea in the staff room.

After his cautious question, I just sighed.

— I’ve already asked them about it. Strangely enough, they really came to work here.

Jeremy Seibel paused.

— I mean it... Did you explain to them that we really just have a flower shop? — the guy asked again, — Not an underground illegal organization or something like that...

— yes. As I said, it was exactly as I told you.

— .....

After my words, the baron’s youngest son fell silent and bit his lip tensely. Of course, like me at first, it was hard for him to believe that these menacing guys, who would have been more like warriors or, in extreme cases, some kind of mercenaries, could really seriously come to work in such a place.

But on the other hand...

Perhaps it was because I could really judge people superficially based only on their appearance. On the other hand, who says that people who look like this can’t have similar hobbies? Perhaps, deep down, these men were as innocent as those flowers!

— Don’t worry. I think everything will be fine...

However, at the moment when I was trying to smooth over my friend’s concerns about our new employees, I was interrupted in mid-sentence.

Bam!

At that moment, there was a sudden crash in the main hall of our store. Excitedly exchanging glances and wondering what exactly could have happened there, Jeremy and I hurried there.

And then at the same time...

When Jeremy and I hurriedly got there, we found a scene that could not be called anything other than outrageous.

The thing is, Frank grabbed Caleb by the collar and raised his fist up, clearly intending to hit him. Caleb, in turn, also swung his fist, intending to respond to his opponent with the same coin.

At that moment, my eyes involuntarily popped out from what was happening here. Unable to stand it, I screamed:

«What’s going on here?»

As soon as my presence in this room became apparent, the men who had just been ready to fight each other immediately stopped. Instead, they went their separate ways and didn’t look at each other. Nevertheless, I kept asking.:

«I’m asking, what exactly are you up to here?»

«.....»

As Frank continued to maintain a tense silence, Caleb spoke first:

— My lady, I’m sorry. There was some misunderstanding between us, but we have already decided everything...

— «A misunderstanding?» — I asked again, — Is that why you almost got into a fight in the middle of the store?

The man hesitated uncertainly.

— Well... that... In any case, madam, it won’t happen again.

I frowned.

— No, it won’t work that way.

— What...?

— Now that you’re working here, you’re a team, aren’t you? Do you even know what teamwork is?

— .....

— You’re supposed to be each other’s support and support, but instead you almost got into a fight! How are you going to continue working here together if you can’t even get along with each other?

As I continued to speak in a serious tone, Caleb opened and closed his mouth. At this time, Frank intervened in the conversation:

— If you think this is a problem, how should we solve it?

Despite the cold expression and threatening tone of this man, I nevertheless did not waver in my intention.

— In that case, I’ll have to teach you that.

— what? What exactly?

— Get along with each other.

— ....

The deathly silence that reigned in the room at that moment did not bother me at all. Instead, I told the two of them to obey my further instructions. And in the end, under my pressure, they really had no choice but to do it.

I made Frank and Caleb sit across from each other and handed them a pair of scissors. At this time, not only the two of them, but also Jeremy continued to watch my actions in disbelief from the sidelines.

In fact, it was all part of my plan. Strangely enough, this was the first time in my life that I had taken advantage of any life lesson from my father. As I mentioned earlier, my father was an alcoholic in a previous life and paid little attention to my brother and me when we were growing up. Nevertheless, one of the childhood episodes remained in my memory quite clearly.

Quite often, my brother and I, as is often the case in families, had various skirmishes and conflicts. And then our father, in order to make the two of us calm down and so that we would stop giving him additional headaches, forced us to do one thing.

And that was it...

— Mistress... But why did you give us this? — Caleb asked, pointing to a pair of scissors.

— This will be part of your re-education.

— what?

— Now you’re going to sit here and cut each other’s nails. Oh yes, while doing this, you should also sincerely apologize to each other.

«!!!»

Frank and Caleb looked at each other, dumbfounded. At that moment, they all began to beg me with one voice:

— But, madam, wait, we have already fully realized our mistake!

— .....

— We really won’t do this anymore...!

However, even if they continued to insist on their own, I wasn’t going to listen to any of this. In the end, such measures will be much more effective than any promises.

— I don’t know anything, — I shrugged my shoulders, — You will do this until I am sure that you have understood everything exactly.

«........»

Meanwhile, Yufil de Walt was still just a silent observer of this shocking sight.

«What the hell is this...!»

He couldn’t believe that this girl could actually pull something like this. Putting the second man in the Imperial Army and a soldier of the Dark Host in such a position was simply unthinkable, if not completely insane. It’s like forcing two sworn enemies to go through such humiliation. Which, strictly speaking, it was.

But that wasn’t what struck Yufil even more. And the fact that the two of them hesitated and actually began obediently following his sister’s instructions...! The guy still felt like he was in some kind of fantasy dream, but not in reality.

The main motive for starting this business was initially nothing more than an attempt to lay low in order to provide cover for the first few years. But what was the point of it all now?..

In any case, there was only one thing the duke’s eldest son was sure of. «The first one to go crazy in this madhouse will definitely be me!»
