What a great morning that greeted me the moment I rose from the bed. Heather was tucked in last night properly in bed and she didn't even move from the position that I had last placed her.
Dawn is breaking soon and I checked my 15 pieces of armour and the trinkets before I head to the shower. After changing I saw that Heather had already stirred from the bed and was reading my journal that I had slept with last night. Hahaha.
Instead of hugging Heather last night, I was busy being intimate with my journal. After Heather had flipped through the journal she exclaimed aloud, "Dear...! You had done all this research back in your realm?"
"That's pretty wonderful...! There would be a lot of ladies who would be coveted for these fine health and beauty products...!"
"Little did I knew you had done so many things for the womenfolk and less for the men back then in your former self... Hahaha."
She laughed heartily as she flipped the journal back and forth. She realised they there are so many things to discuss with the senior members of the board and would only be discussing with them once the samples are out before commencing on the construction of the factories.
She also realised that I had circled the word Beauty World and she was wondering if this would be the name for all the health and beauty products that we would be showcasing to the whole lands and if not to the whole world...!
"That's right dear... Its the name the former Audemars was building in the parallel universe. Although the technology there is quite modern and I'm quite envious about it, how I wished I could bring all back into this world so they everyone can benefit from it."
Heather was bounding around in bed as she read about the 7 new products that we would be manufacturing and she was wondering if the ladies of the community would be interested in them.
"There are one or two things that the ladies here in the community would buy for themselves to dress up for their husbands and for their own self-confidence."
"Besides, cosmetics were normally targeted to the upper-class folks where they don't toil in the fields all day or even lift a finger to do any work."
"Take for example Maricel. She doesn't need to do any manual work and all she does was to push her paper and quill and everything would work for herself."
"Even Michelle could not be compared to her and she decides to be part of the community despite her hereditary peerage. By the way, Michelle was a Countess or someone higher than that?"
Heather pouted her lips when I mentioned about Michelle as she was a status much higher than her own common self before. "Michelle was a Baroness before she got her Countess title. So what about Michelle that has been mentioned and brought into this picture, dear?"
I could sense a tone of jealousy and I explained to her as a matter of factly, "I'm merely taking them both as an example."
"Besides, Michelle preferred to leave her hometown, never bothered about her family whereabouts and wellbeing and then stays at Gillman to be a swordsman."
"Unlike Maricel, I think she's more ladylike and well... More business-minded I guess? So that's why, my dear, I put you in place to be in charge of the business aspects here in this town so you two would be able to interact with one another."
"Who knows, it would better profit after this Winter? By the way, do you want to know about the difference these nobles and common folks think of each other?"
Heather sat up in bed and perked her ears. "They regard themselves like the bread that is being toasted in the old type of Ovens. The top and fluffy part belonged to them, the nobles, while the dark underside where it was toasted belonged to the common folks."
"Which is to say that no matter what their standings are in the community, they felt that their noses shouldn't touch the floor and always kept high and be ready to step on bull s**t. Hahaha...!"
"The common folks are the ones that they had forgotten. These are the main backbone for the economic infrastructure and development of a town. Do you think a noble would work themselves in the factory for 8 hours a day or works in the fields to ensure the seeds have been properly seeded, planted and germinated? "
"They would prefer to sit at home at their own verandah, sipping fine tea with cube sugar and eat crumpets with their lacy gloves on and their butler standing at their sides to wipe their mouths with the ends of their coattails."
The last part was untrue and also some part of it too but I managed to c***k a joke that made Heather laughed out loud early in the morning.
"Do you mean that these cosmetics are mainly targeted to the upper class instead and our womenfolk in the community would have no chance to purchase for their own personal use?" Heather inquired as she flipped through the pages to see any missing information that she had slipped.
"Not really dear. Have you imagined a suntanned person putting on a basic makeup foundation? It's a powder that used to put on before putting in other makeup as well like a blusher."
"It is like someone who fell face first in a sack of flour...! Hahahaha...!" I laughed maniacally at Heather as I imagined how a person would look like with just a basic makeup foundation on their faces like a porcelain doll face and their neck and arms were suntanned...! Hahaha... Hahaha...!!!
Both Heather and I can't help but laughed out loud together as she rolled on the bed and raised her arms at me.
I traced my forefinger from her forehead, right to the bridge of the nose before I parted her lips and said to her, "You need to push the production for the toothpaste and toothbrush quick."
"You still had a bit of vegetable stuck between your teeth since dinner last night."
HOW UNROMANTIC... HAHAHA...!!!
Heather threw a punch at my chest but I saw it coming at me in slow motion and before I knew it, I had twisted her arm behind her back and she was screaming for help, even she had asked for Old Kayla's and Old Jack's help too... Hahaha.
I released her arm and profusely begged for forgiveness since I can't control my reflex anymore.
Danger coming at me would be envisioned by my third eye and somehow my reflexes took the better of me and avert certain danger. That's pretty cool but luckily it was just a grapple.
If not, Heather's arm would need to be attended to by Priestess Isabela...!
I wiped away the tears that had gushed out from the corners of Heather's eye and this time I let her pound her fists repeatedly at my chest and I should have worn my armour earlier but was distracted when she had awakened and browsed through the journal instead.
"Hey, you asked me about the cosmetics, right? There's more to it, you know." I finally said as her fists that were pounding on my chest slowly subsided.
I think she finds it a chore to hit me like that since I had toughened up my body by doing the obstacles more than 4 times daily since it was launched.
"What about it? What's more to it, you silly horrid boy...!" Heather pouted to me as I played my fingers in her face as she lay down on my lap on the bedside.
"A lady should put on a basic makeup foundation if she wanted to put on a blusher."
"A blusher is like a makeup that adds colour to their cheeks because they don't come out often in the sun to play."
"Or maybe they spend too much time in their coffins and only come out at night after dusk to party."
Heather laughed once more as I imitated a paintbrush to paint at her cheeks. Actually, it's just a small applicator and I just exaggerate it to make fun of those upper-class folks.
"They are already so pale that they need something to hold their blusher in place it else it would be droopy after some time."
"Then the eye shadow is placed on this part of your eyes. This is great if you are still in uni, you know."
"You can put white eye shadow here and when you close your eyes, you can draw a pupil here and so when you doze off in class, the professor and the rest of the students would think you are awake but in fact, you are sound asleep... Hahaha haha...!!!"
Heather laughed once more and realised that I had just poked fun at her and she grabbed my arm and sink her teeth into it. Wuwuwuwu... There goes another war injury that I could tell my grandchildren in many years to come...!
After she was gnawing on my arm and left so many teeth marks, she then sat up and pushed a pillow at me and asked about the rest of the cosmetics.
I explained about the eyeliner what would make someone whose eyes are small sensed bigger.
The lipstick is for those who are anaemic and would need to add colour to their lips and lastly the nail polish where the ladies could paint their nails different colour each day and week.
She laughed at my silliness in the morning and suddenly she bounded off the bed and told me to to get the twins ready as she would be in the shower a bit. I guess she wanted to get rid of the awful vegetable that got stuck in her teeth somehow.
I went over to the twins' room and found that both of them were blinking and looking at the door, anticipating either one of us to enter and wake them up and carry them down from their beds.
When the children saw me, they screamed for me excitedly as I picked them off and placed them to the floor, even though they could do it by themselves.
After putting them down, I instructed them to go and change and have a quick wipe down at the bathroom and they quickly pitter-pattered to the bathroom as they took off their pyjamas in the way there.
Fortunately, the domain helpers were there and quickly picked up their clothes and place them into the laundry basket before escorting the twins to the bathroom to wash their faces.
Since the toothbrush and toothpaste were still in the infancy stage, I guess the children would like to brush something sweet in their mouth rather than peppermint early in the morning.
At least the children would be enticed to brush their teeth regularly and every single meal.
For what I know, oral hygiene is one way to prevent children from munching too much in between their meals and from gaining too many inches to their waistline.
At least I could get Heather to make a single flavour for the adult and several flavours for the children.
Since the twins were in the shower and Heather was just finishing up, I reached for my journal that was lying at the bedside and made some notes for Heather to take note of.
I wrote children's toothpaste and toothbrush inside the entry and added the following dimensions for the toothbrush for them to handle with ease and the brush to fit inside their mouths when they brushed their teeth.
Then I added the following flavours — red apple, green apple, watermelon, strawberry and pineapple inside it.
At least there would be more flavours for the children to choose from and the quantity remains the same.
Actually, the adults could also use the toothpaste since the contents come in the same container as the adult one.
Once in done doing that, I placed the journal back at the bedside table so that it would be all over the place and Heather could make a reference of it.
Once I'm done, I too went to wash myself up and prepare for the coming main event for the day.
