NovelEnglish“Of course I should be an example for Lola. Since I’m a man of my word, we’ll go by what I said just
now!” Skylar was vexed with himself to the point of screaming. However, Yulia was his significant other,
so no matter how exasperated he was, he still had to treat her well.
“Excellent! That’s the spirit!” Yulia nodded in satisfaction, but inwardly she was so amused she felt like
rolling on the floor with laughter.
“Ms. Yulia!” Naomi suddenly made her way through the crowd and approached her.
“What is it, Naomi?”
When Naomi noticed that Yulia was sharing a quiet, intimate moment with Skylar, she experienced a
moment of awkwardness. However, since it was still working hours, she reported hurriedly, “Ms. Yulia,
we won’t be able to supply the shops in the main malls with our first batch of anti-blemish cream. All
these people have placed orders for the entire lot.”
“What? It’s all gone?” Yulia stared at Naomi in astonishment.
Since the future of the company had been uncertain, she had asked the production department to
manufacture ten thousand jars of anti-blemish cream. If the press conference and the launch went well,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe had anticipated that it would take around a month to sell the entire batch.
However, both the press conference and the launch hadn’t even happened yet, and her entire stock of
anti-blemish cream had already been reserved because of the orders. From the way things looked,
once the product launched and went on the market, the resulting hype was going to be much bigger
than she had ever imagined.
“Alright, Naomi. Call the production department and have them do their best to manufacture as much
anti-blemish cream as they can. After that, get the HR department to start recruiting people as fast as
possible. I want to add two more production lines for the anti-blemish cream.”
“Yes, Ms. Yulia.” Naomi rummaged for her phone, getting ready to move to a quiet corner and call Alan,
the head of the production department.
Yulia thought for a moment, then directed, “We need to amend tomorrow’s schedule. Please change
the new product launch to a business meeting instead. It’s essential that I find some reliable partners to
work with our company as soon as I can.”
Kareem Fashion was too small an entity to produce the massive amount of anti-blemish cream needed.
If they wanted to capitalize on being the hot trend of the day and take the entire province and country
by storm, they needed help from outside sources.
After Naomi left, Yulia turned to the other department heads. “The company’s going to face some
unprecedented challenges in the coming days. All of you are my most capable personnel; I don’t have
to tell you what needs to be done. It’s going to be rough on everybody for a while, but as we all know,
what we get is what we put in. Tonight I’ll treat everyone to dinner to celebrate the company’s reversal
of fortunes, and we can discuss promotions and salary raises as well.”
“Pay increases for everyone in the company? Ms. Sue, you’re the bomb!”
“Wow! It looks like I’ll be hitting the peak of my career along with the company!”
All the various heads of department were wildly excited when they heard what Yulia had to say.
Everyone looked thrilled and morale was high.
Once all the department heads had hurried back to sort out the workflow for their various departments,
Yulia turned to Skylar. “Skylar, where would you suggest making a reservation for tonight’s…”
Before she could finish, Skylar interrupted her. “Dear, how about making up for this morning’s missed
greeting?”
“Excuse me? What?” Yulia was caught off guard, confused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Didn’t you promise that every morning you’d call me ‘Dear’ once? Since we’ve put that into effect,
shouldn’t you make up for this morning?” Skylar explained, looking expectantly at her.
Yulia’s face turned bright red. She was about to tell Skylar he was impossible, but paused, recalling
that he had actually amended his demands considerably for her sake. At the same time, she found it
extremely difficult to get the words out, so she hesitated for quite a while before stammering in a small
voice, “D-Dear, where d-do you suggest I make a reservation for tonight since I’m t-treating everyone to
dinner?”
At the end of it, she wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl in to hide. She hadn’t even officially
married the man yet, and he was insisting that she call him ‘Dear’. It was really far too embarrassing.
With a straight face, Skylar corrected her, saying, “It’s not just ‘Dear’, it’s ‘my Dear’, you know.”
Afraid that he might succumb to yet more promptings of his baser self, Yulia hurriedly corrected herself.
“Yes, De…my Dear.”
Only then did Skylar nod in satisfaction and answer her question.
Yulia could not help regretting her moment of weakness when she saw Skylar’s smug expression. She
should not have been so soft-hearted; this morning was already long past, and there was no reason for
her to make up for the omission!
No, this wouldn’t do at all. She had to think of something to make this wretched man suffer!
