Chapter 2: Counterfeit Money

While the teahouse I had opened, Grimoire, was in the merchant district, it was quite close to the noble district. There, the daughters of wealthy merchants often crossed paths with noble ladies in disguise. Chocolate hadn’t only won the hearts of our customers; it was also tremendously popular with patissiers, who loved how easy it was to work with and came up with new recipes one after the other.

“I’m glad it’s a success,” I said, smiling as I read the latest report of Traitre’s teahouse division.

“A resounding success,” acknowledged Mireille. “You can now find desserts decorated with the organizer’s crest at every aristocrat’s tea party. Custom-made desserts from Grimoire are all the rage among the nobles.”

“Excellent. The requests to open branches in other territories are also pouring in.”

“We already have our patissiers training skilled newcomers for that purpose.”

“Finding competent employees will be key,” I said. “Unlike Traitre stores, which I cautiously plan for, I want Grimoire to open as many additional tea houses as possible.”

“Are you sure expanding so quickly is a good idea?” Mireille asked.

“Yes,” I stated. “Unlike commercial firms, teahouses’ scope of business is quite limited. There’s little risk that they will escape my control. Besides, opening teahouses in various territories serves two purposes. It’ll help us create new desserts using local products, as well as collect and disseminate information effectively.”

“Duly noted. In that case, I suggest dividing the empire into several areas and assigning managers to oversee activities in each of these areas.”

“I like the sound of that. Do you have anyone in mind?”

“I can think of several suitable individuals who held managerial positions in their respective companies before we absorbed them.”

“Let us leave that job to them in that case.”

“I’ll make arrangements at once, miss,” concluded Mireille before exiting my office.

Traitre had kept growing, and there were more and more matters I couldn’t keep an eye on. This was a critical juncture. If I didn’t ensure that the entire management was up to par, the organization would collapse from within. I should warn the people responsible for each department to remain vigilant.

I leaned against my chair and stretched, extending my arms upward. As I looked at the door, it didn’t look like anyone was about to slam it open and barge in. Alice had stopped being as clingy these days, and I could let the maids take care of her while I worked.
