Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Becky Joins The Workforce

After dinner, we cleared up our plates in the washbasin and went out of the Great Hall. As we pushed the trolleys, my idea worked as people began to ask what we are transporting and then the children entertain the queries, those folks can't help but felt refreshed when they smelled the sweet scent that emanated from the wooden crates.

It was like opening a treasure chest and the things inside it were even better than jewels and credits. The ladies stopped is and we, in turn, gave the information. Even Prius engaged in small talk with them and they are interested to patronise our store. After several names were mentioned for referral, they were convinced of the wellness of these products...

We reached out store and Prius was looking at it with awe. It was a neat white coloured store with a small light yellow canopy above the main door. I went inside and threw the light switch up and the whole placed lighted in its own splendour. It was on top of a small knoll and with its mellow lighting, everyone can see clearly from a distance.

We pushed the trolley inside and I stacked the products accordingly since the glass counter had castor wheels and can be moved easily. After I had made the stacks of wooden crate according to their types, I then removed half a dozen each and arranges them on the 5 tiered glass showcase on the left and right, leaving some spaces for the 'X4Li8' Face Scrubs that would be ready in batches within the next 15 days.

Passerbys who passed by the store can't hell to notice the bustling of work that was done in there. Soon they entered even though it was not operating hours and asked what we are selling. I asked Patricia to entertain them as I went along to arrange the products in such a way that they would be able to view what we have from the outside glass window.

The 10 kinds of 'Head To Toe' Shampoo and 5 kinds of 'Sparklie' Toothpaste were arranged in such an angle and when I looked at it from outside, it was simply breathtaking. The view was magnificent and the product display was good enough.

I wrote the description with the scent along with the price in a bright yellow kind of price tag and place it next to the porcelain bottles and jewel cases. This way they could identify what they were buying besides the small dried flower that was attached to it.

There was a small ledge inside the store next to the glass front and I decided I could decorate it with basket gifts with assorted products in them. In that way, those deep-pocket customers could buy in bulk and make it as a personal gift, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and so on.

"Trish, could you get those 2 kinds of wicker basket like this size without a handle while the other one with a handle like this size?" I showed the sizes with my palms outstretched and she immediately understood. After the arrangement of the cartons were complete and the product display had been properly achieved, all of us left the store.

Prius was chatting happily with Rebecca and it seems that Prius' hands can't be kept still and was like having its own mind as it kept patting Rebecca's head, fondling the head, touching the shoulders, arms and hands. Hah hah hah...

I sat down next to Prius as Patricia went hunting for a sample of the basket. I told her I need one each as I could do the rest and she nodded. The children were told to push the trolleys back and park it at Beauty World as they made their way back. Adam West was holding on to 4 slices of the pan-fried pork chops to be given to the matron as a sign of favour for letting them return late.

"Rebecca... Or shall I call you Becky instead... Would you mind be employed by Beauty World as our chef to prepare our 6 meals per day? We would gladly pay you 600 credits a month." I opened up the discussion to Rebecca but instead, Prius was the one who answered excitedly, "Yes Becky... I like that name. Say Yes, Yes, Yes..."

As soon as the mention of the word "Say Yes", the offscreen crews broke into a serenade along with a minus one musical interlude. They were the crew that helped to work on Series 5

Yokei na mono nado nai yone

Subete ga Kimi to Boku to no ai no kamaesa

Sukoshikurai no uso ya Wagamama mo

Marude Boku wo tamesu youna

Koibito no FUREIZU ni Naru

Kono mama Futari de Yume wo soroete

Nanigenaku kurasanaika

Ai ni wa ai de kanjiaouyo

Garasu KEESU ni narabanai youni

Nando mo iuyo nokosazu iuyo

Kimi ga afureteru

There is nothing unnecessary

Everything was prepared for the love

of you and I

Even a little lie or selfishness

Is like you're testing me

It becomes a phrase for lovers

Let our dreams come together,

just the two of us

and live together naturally

Let's feel each other's love with love

Not to become like jewellery in the glass cases

I will say this no matter how many times, without leaving out any words

You're overflowing

"Well, I guess the answer is Yes then" I simply said as I watched Rebecca fell into the arms of Prius in an embrace as she had just awakened from her stupor. Both can't help it but cry out as tears of joy streamed down the face. After both had calmed down and cleared away the snot and tears, I asked, "You don't have any children, do you?"

"No, I'm unmarried and have no children yet. Thank you so much for your offer. And thank you so much for awakening me from a long stupor and thank you lastly for making me meet with my long sweetheart and employing me within the Keating household." she replied and she blew her nose on her hanky like a baby elephant...

I further explained about the number of people for breakfast, lunch and dinner including the mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks. She nodded and take note of the number of pax she needs to prepare for every meal.

"Prius here is hooked on our garlic butter fried rice with a lot of variants from smoked fish, shrimps, squid, pork, whitebait fish, scrambled eggs, jerkies and salted eggs as well."

"We used a variant vegetables for each time we cook and that would be bean sprouts from mung and wheat, cabbage, cauliflower and we also love to have a bit of spiciness in our meals so you could add from 3 to 5 birds eye chilli."

I explained about the preparation of the meals and Becky told us that she would be there as soon as the c**k crows, so she could prepare the ingredients for lunch and dinner. As we are not fussy with the two snacks, it would either be steamed, fried or roasted over coals and there are sweet potatoes, corn, plantain, musabelle and yam with an occasion of tapioca.

"Don't you worry about the snacks, I have experiences in them. I just need to observe in how the garlic butter fried rice looked like so at least I know how the basis would be like." Becky told us as we began to head back to the Great Hall and was joined by Patricia who held three wicker baskets of different sizes in her hands.

"Is this what you are looking for, Audemars? At least one fits about 5 products and the other could fit at least 10. This bigger basket can hold 20 products at one time. It looks awful big as it is normally used for marketing and could easily keep one live chicken or duck inside it. Hehehehe."

"Perfect, Trish... This is what we need for the moment. Oh yeah, Becky had agreed to join us and so we now have 5 employees under our care. Take note of the employee records for me, ok?" and she nodded.

"Well, at least we no longer need to spend time in the kitchen. Furthermore, those pork chips stored inside the storage bag seemed to be unspoilt and it was in a kind of time freeze. Heh... Another life hack discovered by me." I thought as I Patricia cradled my arm and we both couples walked back while Patricia was holding to the 3 wicker baskets in the crook of her left arm.

When we get back to the Great Hall, a bottle of chilled A&W Rootbeer was served inside a bronze champagne holder with some ice and 4 mugs were made ready as well. I took the baskets and excused myself as I went to the room to meditate and went to the Realm of Mind and places them at the Fusion Chamber. At least the duplication is still in progress and it would be in the morning when it finally completes.

I logged off and went back to the real world and joined them at the table in the Great Hall and listened to Prius and Rebecca chatted about their childhood memories and a tale of other bullshit.
