Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 31: 20 The Crying Child Who Lost His Tears

In the following days, Hexia began to assist the various maids in their duties. Belfeng also seemed to intentionally allow her to interact with different companions, to become acquainted with all the maids in the store.

Indeed, Hexia slowly discovered that the store was a real hiding place for talent; many of the maids truly possessed unique skills, and some of them were even beyond the manager's control, who could only persuade them with good words.

In the blink of an eye, another afternoon arrived.

"Hexia, this is your seventh day of work, right?" The green-haired maid fed bait to the snake in her arms while talking to the gray-haired girl.

"Yes, today the manager said she would speak with me after work to tell me whether I have passed the assessment."

"You will definitely pass." Botis put down the black and white banded snake in her arms, then picked up another lush green snake wrapped around her waist.

"Thank you."

At this time, Hexia sat on a stone beside the pool, feeding the large spider on the table.

Withering Sequence 4·Ghost-face Wolf Spider (Evaluation: Superior Radiant Gold Level)

This large spider was the most powerful supernatural creature in Botis's Glass Jungle, with an evaluation reaching the rare Radiant Gold Level. This term is used to evaluate the comprehensive strength of transcendents, ranked from low to high as follows: Gray Iron, Red Copper, Dark Silver, Radiant Gold, Condensing Bead, Colored Crystal, Angel Envoy, Key of Fate, Epic.

Among them, Epic Level mostly described those Legendary sequences 9, which could no longer be seen, with the highest being Key of Fate, meaning the key to unlocking one's own destiny, fully unleashing one's Talent, will, etc., and refining everything about oneself to a flawless and perfect state.

The fluffy spider legs were somewhat prickly, and Hexia first rang a bell to calm the creature down before its prickly hair slowly softened, only then daring to feed it small pieces of food.

The blue cubes were crushed by the spider's clamp-like fangs and then swallowed. After eating, the spider's several pairs of black eyes on its head looked at Hexia again.

"Eat slowly, you're making a mess." Hexia pushed the crumbs under the spider onto paper to catch them, then thought better of it, and simply picked up the large spider with her hands, placing it on the paper to feed, so she no longer had to worry about remnants spilling.

Looking at her handling the dangerous spider so skillfully and naturally, Botis couldn't help but want to remind her, but ultimately held back.

Unknowingly, this child had already become unafraid of spiders and snakes, and even dared to knock on those disobedient ones at times, just like herself.

Is this the growth rate of those with talent? Botis wondered to herself.

Finally, it was time to get off work.

Hexia approached a corner of Dream of Glazed Glass, where the manager sat as usual, slowly sipping her tea.

"Hexia is here, you should be used to it by now."

"Yes." The girl respectfully bowed.

"Very good, you're indeed the person I chose." The manager seemed very pleased, as if a certain country creature strutted along the fields with its head held high.

"Begin your official duties tomorrow."

"However, before that, there are some things I need to teach you." For once, her expression was earnest.

"First, the customers are not deities, and we cannot satisfy their demands unconditionally and endlessly; that would only break the rules and make business unsustainable."

"If you find it difficult, refuse boldly, but your tone must be kind."

"The second point, making mistakes at work is inevitable, even an experienced hand will have accidents in thousands of repetitions."

"After a mistake, we should try to compensate, solve the problem for the customer, but unless absolutely necessary, do not apologize!"

"We can deal with the problem in the capacity and tone of solving it for the customer, like friends and companions, but apologizing would place us in opposition to the customer."

"For some unreasonably persistent customers, if you apologize, you'll find yourself at a psychological and moral disadvantage, and they may become more demanding, asking for greater benefits, which will complicate the matter."

"Furthermore, apologizing is a serious matter, and actually, you employees don't have the right to apologize, which can humiliate certain noble customers and be greatly harmful to yourselves."

"If you encounter a situation you can't resolve, contact me quickly or a senior you're familiar with for help, and you'd best quickly get out of the customer's sight."

"Having someone else resolve the matter can make things much smoother. I have plenty of reasons to excuse you, compensate the customer with some benefits, and that way, it's basically quite easy to resolve."

"However, when the person who made the error faces the customer directly, neither party has an easy way out." She took a sip of tea, her voice softening again.

"This is the experience I've accumulated over many years in the industry, and I hope it can be of some help to you."

"Thank you, Manager." This time, Hexia expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"Keep it up." The manager stood up, waving to Hexia.

"Life will have many troubles, but avoiding them will bring even more." After saying this, she leisurely walked away, her silhouette against the synthetic sunset somehow seeming even more imposing.

After changing out of her uniform, Hexia walked into the vertical elevator with a bag in hand. Today's work was over; she was heading home now. The bag contained a maid outfit given to her, tailored according to her measurements and exquisitely made.

With a faint sense of anticipation and gratitude in her heart, Hexia walked on the road home.

However, as she arrived at the location of the previous incident, a tunnel entrance, a strange black-haired young man appeared before her.

He was looking down, smoking a cigarette, then slowly stood up from leaning against the wall with his head back, walked to the center of the entrance, and stood directly in the girl's way.
