(201 - 400) Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 385: So, You're Fired

_Big Sister looks so beautiful when she's eating, and her purple eyes are super gorgeous. _Amy sat behind the counter, and supported her chin with her hands as she carefully examined Gloria.

After a peaceful breakfast, Gloria paid for her meal before getting up to leave. When she made her way to the entrance of the restaurant, she turned toward the kitchen, and caught a glimpse of Mag's profile, upon which a blush appeared on her face. She quickly walked out the door, and ignored the surprise on her coachman's face as she instructed, "To the Blue Suede Textiles Shop."

"Y-yes, Young Mistress." The coachman immediately set the horse-drawn carriage into motion.

...

In the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, the manager looked at the employees before her with a serious expression, and said, "A new owner will be coming today, so let's all put in a good effort, and not leave her with a bad first impression."

She then adjusted her clothes, and walked out in front of the store, looking around with a nervous expression.

"What kind of person is our new owner going to be? I heard our textiles shop was almost closed down, but the president insisted on keeping it open; that's the only reason why we still have jobs," an employee muttered in a quiet voice.

"I heard it's the eldest young master's daughter that's coming. Apparently, the president made her one of the candidates for the heirloom, which gives her the same status as the second young master's," another employee replied.

A thin and short employee's face lit up with anticipation as she speculated, "Is that true? Then doesn't that mean that she could become the leader of the Moreton Family someday? If we serve her well, maybe we'll get promoted!"

"If the president really does intend on grooming her as his heir, then she wouldn't have been sent to our Blue Suede Textiles Shop." A chubby employee pursed her lip with a hint of disdain, and said, "She doesn't have what it takes to compete with the second young master. I also heard that she's constantly wearing a veil, and doesn't dare to show anyone her face. If you ask me, I reckon she must be really ugly or have something unsightly on her face. How could someone like her become the heir to the Moreton Family?"

"Really?" All of the employees were stunned to hear that. All of them turned toward the chubby employee with curiosity, wanting to hear more about their future boss.

"Why would I lie? I heard about all this from one of my sisters who works at the Moreton Manor. She says that the young mistress wears her veil even when she's at home, and no one has ever seen what she looks like. She doesn't even take it off during meals; how hideous would she have to be to wear a veil even during meals? Is she afraid that others wouldn't be able to stomach their food if they saw her face?" The chubby employee enjoyed being the center of attention, and she continued to speculate with a smug expression on her face.

"Is this place still not open for business?" Right at that moment, a gentle voice cut into everyone's conversation.

All of the employees turned, and their eyes immediately lit up. A beauty in a pink dress was standing at the entrance to their shop; her regal disposition coupled with her exquisitely gorgeous features made it impossible for them to look away.

"We're already open. What kind of textiles are you looking for? You're so beautiful, like a goddess from the heavens." The chubby employee immediately approached her with a fawning smile on her face.

"I'm not here to look for textiles." Gloria's expression cooled slightly, and she shook her head as she looked at the chubby employee.

"Then, how can I help you?" The chubby employee was a little perplexed.
