“Who is it?

On what grounds are you firing me?

The manager hasn’t even spoken yet.”

Ivy River spoke coldly, “Who I am is not important; what’s important is that you’re being dismissed.”

The store manager sighed deeply, “Go and collect your dismissal slip.”

“You can’t fire an employee during the probation period!” the employee shouted, “Besides, even if you fire me, I just secured a big sale, so you have to give me the commission!”

Ivy River’s lips curled slightly, “Still on probation?

Don’t you know there’s no commission during the probation period?”

“Did they change the rules?

I don’t remember changing them.”

The store manager, uneasy with Ivy River’s nonchalant questioning, quickly responded, “No, no, we’ve never altered the rules in all these years.”

“Since I’m going to be fired anyway, I’m not afraid to burn bridges with you.

Customer-first, my foot; some people can’t even afford it.

Can you afford it?”

The employee retorted fiercely, her face filled with anger, pointing a finger at Ivy River.

“Whether I can afford it is my business, but I ask you, have you seen your manager’s service attitude?

That’s something worth learning.”

Ivy River shrugged innocently, raising the tension.

“Then I’ll report to MISS AYLA for wrongful termination!”

“Go ahead, report it.

I’ll be waiting for the court summons.”

Ivy River glanced at the employee, “There are only two branches of MISS AYLA nationally, and your manager started here ten years ago, from probation as well.

She was the sales champion for three months straight when she started, without a penny of commission.”

“The contract specifies these terms.

If you’re unhappy, go home and look at the contract.

Once officially employed at MISS AYLA, after the probation period, the commission is as high as 20%, and each quarter you can enjoy three outfits, which is twelve outfits a year.”

“Tell me, which service industry company can offer that?”

Ivy River asked each word slowly, leaving the employee stunned.

She stammered, “Who exactly are you?”

“You’re the first employee to not pass the probation period at MISS AYLA.” Ivy River looked coldly at the manager, “Deduct Teresa’s quarterly bonus for this month.

She needs to pay for her oversight.”

The manager dared not breathe, “Understood.”

“This place is practically a black market!

The clothes are outrageously expensive, and you’re inhumane!

It’s capitalism at its worst!”

The employee yelled.

Ivy River frowned, “Teresa, don’t even think about giving n+1.

Just fire her directly; probation is a mutual selection process, and MISS AYLA can’t afford such an employee.”

“Why are you listening to this woman?

Who the heck is she?”

The manager shouted angrily, “She’s the boss!

She’s a major shareholder of MISS AYLA!”

“No way, no way, I’ve seen the boss.

The boss doesn’t look like this!”

The employee mumbled, retreating, “You’re all in cahoots to deceive me, aren’t you?

How could she be the boss?”

“You don’t have to believe me, but I have the right to fire you.”

Ivy River’s eyes were cold and displeased.

The employee, filled with resentment, “You’ll see!

This store abuses its power, and I will definitely report you!”

Ivy River said nothing, her shadowy eyes fixed on her.

The manager hurriedly covered her mouth, escorting her out, “You’d better lower your voice and behave yourself when you leave.”

“Close the store; we won’t be open today.”

The manager closed the door.

Then she looked at Ivy River, who had stood up, and rushed to hug her, “You finally came back!

I’ve missed you so much!”

“It’s been hard on you these past few years, but the quarterly bonus still needs to be deducted.

What if someone else had come?”

Ivy River said with a smile.

The manager pouted, “She was a top salesperson, the head at the luxury store next door, and lots of places were vying to hire her.

She chose us, and now she’s fired, sigh.”

“People’s nature is to prioritize their interests; she chose us because of our high commission, but I also have the right to choose her.”

Ivy River consoled, “If she causes trouble, then ban her in the high-end circle.”

“Okay, are you staying this time, or will you leave again?”

The manager couldn’t resist tugging at Ivy River’s sleeve, acting spoiled.

This shocked Madeline Woods, who was watching.

“No, no, Ivy, what’s going on?”

“This is my store; you can get a 20% discount when you buy clothes here.”

Ivy River began introducing, “Gold-medal manager, shuttling back and forth annually between Riverland City and Seaton, managing both stores single-handedly.”

“How come I didn’t know you opened this store?”

“Well, now you know, right?

Less talking, go look and pick out some clothes, today is on me.”

Ivy River sent Madeline Woods off and turned to give instructions to the manager, “Teresa, my focus will be more on Seaton after this; it’s possible I might secretly return under the alias Lynn.

If anyone comes asking, just say I’m not in Seaton.”

“Understood.”

“Also, Edwin Blake will definitely come and stand up for Isla Sutton, so make sure to distance me and the store from any involvement, and prevent Edwin Blake from delving deeply into this store.”

The manager didn’t understand but respected the request, “Alright.”

Ivy River laughed as she finished giving instructions and began picking out clothes for herself.

Madeline Woods, enthusiastic, said, “Ivy, can I really take anything I want today?”

“Yes, as long as you’re happy.” Ivy River scanned the store and picked up a suit, “The designer’s skill has been pretty good lately; this can be a main promotion item.”

The manager quickly took the clothes and began putting them on display on a model.

Finally, the two left the store satisfied, heading home.

Madeline Woods, having scored big, said happily, “Ivy, if I knew MISS AYLA was yours, I would have shopped here long ago.”

“Know when to stop; don’t disclose that I’m the owner of MISS AYLA.”

“As long as you don’t want others to know, I won’t say a word!”

Ivy River nodded slightly, “It’s about time; I need to get home.

My little one is at the research institute today, probably giving the old man a hard time.

Later, you can bring your daughter, and we’ll get together.”

“Sure, see you this weekend.

My daughter needs to attend kindergarten too.”

“Which kindergarten?”

“Royal Kindergarten, I had to pull some strings to get her in!”

Ivy River’s eyes lit up a bit, “How old is your daughter?”

“Nursery class, just four years old.

Oh, don’t even mention it, she doesn’t like to talk, and I’m worried she’ll become autistic!”

Mentioning her child, Madeline Woods became distressed.

Ivy River seemed to think of something, “Cora Grayson?”

“How did you know my daughter?”

“Fatty and Emmy are in the same class with her, even sitting at the same desk…”

“What a delightful coincidence!” Madeline Woods slapped her forehead, “Lately, she’s been talking more than before.

Cora’s a bit introverted because she grew up with her grandpa.”

“Recently, he keeps mentioning Fatty and Emmy as her good friends.

So they’re your kids!

She’s even fussing about visiting your house!”

Ivy River’s expression grew solemn, “I’ve interacted with Cora before; she needs some counseling, but why the surname Grayson?”

Madeline Woods’ eyes filled with resentment, “I took my dad’s name; you know the situation with my family.”

“You are…
