Chapter 132 - Brewing Up A New Plan

Ich-131

"First! Wake up and get your lazy ass in front of me!" Esther said sternly. 

"Fine… fine… princess, show some mercy," Michelle said. 

"I am hanging then," Esther said. 

"Okay! Will see you in an hour!" Michelle said that she hung the call and started tidying up. 

It has been a long time since they both played around. But when she heard Esther's plans, Michelle felt like she was talking to a dumb person. Who in the world would manage things like that. Just like before, she couldn't manage things properly. She didn't change at all. Now she has to take care of this big baby girl. 

Michelle arrived at the office by 9 a.m. along with Esther's order. She wore a black suit with a black pencil-cut skirt along with her eight-inch pencil heels. She placed the cover on Esther's table. Esther grabbed the box immediately and started eating one piece while showing no intention of sharing food with her bestie. 

"Slowly! You will choke!" Michelle said. 

"I haven't had chicken in days due to the diet my mother set for me!" Esther complained to which Michelle smiled. 

"So… What's wrong?" Michelle asked. 

"The things I said on the phone!" Esther said. 

"Girl… You should stop doing this business and start working! Okay! Do you how dumb your planning is? ``What's that idiot doing without guiding you?" Michelle said as she slammed her hands hard on the table. 

"Who is the idiot?" Esther asked as she bit the chicken wing. 

"You P.A!" Michelle said. 

"He doesn't plan. He only does the things I said," Esther said. 

"We need to remake the plan," Michelle said. 

"What do you mean?" Esther asked as she took a big bite. 

"The company is completely understaffed. And the time is too tight! And you are still in the process of hiring people to do the launch in three months. How messed up are these things?" Michelle said for which Esther went silent. 

"Why are you rushing? Why are uncle and aunt not saying anything? If you go on like this you would be only wasting your money and time," Michelle said truthfully. 

"I just want to make myself busy," Esther said. She doesn't want to say that she was hurt by Arthur to the point that even after torturing him she couldn't help feeling sad and compared herself to Lucy Clark. But now these days after Cyrus's return, her thoughts were being diverted. She was calmer than before. She doesn't know why but she was calm. 

"Being busy and managing business are two completely different things. IF you rush you won't have perfection. You would be embarrassing yourself in the end. The clothes can be designed in a month or two. But jewelry is a different thing. You need to export materials, contact buyers, arrange a stage, find models, find goldsmiths and design the clothes that suit the jewelry. These things will not be done in three months. Even if they are done, your competitors will do something to sabotage you. and you won't have time to care about those things as you are already cramped up. This thing would take a year but we will do it in six months. Let's not do things hastily." Michelle said. 

"And don't think of Arthur. Heart things cannot be healed by work they can be healed with the heart only. Don't mess up things like this," Michelle said. 

"But I thought about launching the flag ship after four months. What to do now?" Esther asked. 

"You didn't call the guests or announce it to the media. You just thought. First, we need o to organize the company and hire the staff. And we have to make deals. Vritra groups are a choice in shipping the materials. Don't be a miser and think that you will make deals with the countries who are rich in mines. That would be a loss rather than profit. The cleaning price of the materials, the shipping price, and the tax for shipping materials. Adding up all of these would be high. So, you better make deals here. And I know you don't want to take help from your family. So, Vritra groups are a better choice. 

"Also as for models, let's sign up with the rising stars. They could be hired for a small price. And your designers are concentrating on clothes for only one season. Let them design for all seasons. And they should start stitching the clothes from now. So that they could make changes anytime when needed. We should give them some helpers. The present people are not enough. 

"More importantly we need funds too!" Michelle ended her analysis. 

Esther was shocked to hear the things. 

"Michelle, why don't you become a partner?" Esther asked. 

"I am poor!" Michelle said straight in her face. 

"Please…" Esther begged. 

"I will guide you. But not a partner. If I wanted to start a business I would have gone back to my family and took over the business," Michelle said. 

"Sigh… Let's do as you say," Esther said. 

"The first step is mass promotion! I will call the secretariat department here to work. Would that be okay?" Michelle said. 

"But will that be okay?" Esther said. 

"Yes, They require jobs. On this day, getting a job is hard. Your brother fired all the people from Garcia's and put your people in that company. Don't worry, I will call only trustable people. And from my friend's circle, few can work for us readily. For now, we need a marketing team very importantly. You can't run with one or two people." Michelle said. 

"Ayya… Call that dumb P.A. Let's use his connections too. We will discuss it till late night and have supper and then go," Esther said as she started eating the remaining fried chicken wings as fast as she could. After she was done she threw them in a trash can to hide the evidence. After she hid the evidence they called Nicholas inside to brew up a plan again.
