The Manager’s Apology and the Aristocrats’ Strings

“Everyone, I apologize for causing you so much trouble! From now on, I will be more careful not to let something like that happen again,” Lucia said, bowing her head to the entire staff in the Magical Garment Factory’s largest conference room. She had taken two whole days off, but everyone had greeted her looking very worried.

“Don’t worry, you didn’t cause any trouble. You barely took any time off, anyway. Are you sure you’re really okay, boss?”

“Are you feeling better? You pushed yourself really hard!”

“Please ask us for more help next time!”

“Chief, I think it’s best you stay seated and only give out instructions.We can bring you any documents and fabric you need.”

Hearing everyone’s warm words made Lucia’s nose tingle. She fought back the sensation with a smile, then raised her voice and said, “I’m fine now, really! I’ve made a full recovery.”

Everyone responded with relief and smiling faces, and this time, Lucia’s eyes started to water. As she again fought back the sensation, Zilo came up and clapped her on the shoulder.

“It’s not just the chief who needs to be careful—everyone here needs to make sure they’re not overworking themselves. Overworking, much like getting an advance on your salary, will always comes back to bite you. And once you’re over thirty-five, all-nighters start to take an even greater toll on your body, and they take longer to recover from too, so keep that in mind!”

“I know that all too well!”

“Zilo, please don’t talk about getting old!”

The room echoed with sounds of laughter and wailing.

“On a serious note,” Hestia said, “overworking really isn’t good for you. Especially not for your skin.”

“Says the woman with flawless skin.”

“Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hestia’s skin look bad! Even though you work as much overtime as everyone else! Tell me what cosmetics you use!”

As the conversation turned lively, so did it start veering off in other directions. This was how things always went at the Magical Garment Factory. Lucia was happy nothing had changed in her absence.

“Okay, that’s enough!” she called out, clapping her hands together. “We can hear about Hestia’s beauty routine at tea time! Let’s work hard to meet today’s goals and prepare for anything unexpected that may come up tomorrow.”

“Yeah, let’s do it!”

“We can do this!”

Most of the personnel nodded cheerfully and then headed back to their own workstations. Lucia watched them leave. Zilo remained by her side, frowning as he stroked his beard.

“Something wrong, Zilo?”

“No, I was just thinking, we haven’t had a week yet without something unexpected coming up...”

“When you put it that way, it sounds like no matter how much we make, the stock in our warehouse never increases...”

The toe socks, drying insoles, and zephyricloth. Every day, they worked hard to make enough to meet their production goals, plus a little extra. But the Magical Garment Factory’s inventory never grew.
