Passionate Hours

"Old man, what's wrong with this woman? I recall that she was just a pushover?" The young man inquired with a playful smile on his face.

The old man sighed, "She has become the vice-manager..."

"What!?" 

How can it be!? He had visited the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House before, and he recalled that this woman was just a low-level salesperson!

Now, she, a non-Alstreim, has become a vice-manager!? What kind of absurdity was this!?

"How...?" He incredulously asked.

"It is said that she hosted a grand person while most of us were gathered in the monthly meeting...! This bit- woman successfully sold a treasure to that person, and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim personally raised her position to be one of far above us!" 

"Though we are reluctant, we have no choice but to digest this humiliation!" The old man's eyes seemed to be practically spitting flames. He almost cursed but held himself back.
