The carriage stopped, and I got out and looked at the huge mansion in front of me.
 
It is white in color, with a lot of open space around it.
 
It is not exactly beautiful, but it is big enough with quarters behind it, to house, over three hundred and fifty girls. 
 
Though not as comfortable as they had been in the large underground beneath the establishment. It had caused some friction among them.
 
Though it had been handled.
 
The Girls have grown used to their privacy and protect it fiercely. So, when they began sharing the space, again, with more girls than they did in the past year, a conflict arose between them.
 
The ones who got the angriest were those who had their own private rooms, but Margaux and others have resolved it.
 
They only need to bear it for a few more days and it will all be over.
 
I entered the building and soon, reached the ballroom, where it looked like some sort of party was happening.
 
Men and women in beautiful dresses, smiling, and talking, while servers moved around them.
 
“Start again,” said Mena and the actors got up and immediately left the ballroom, while the girls changed their positions. 
 
They have been practicing daily for the past month. It had made them really good. 
 
This practice is for the new girls, I have got from Oksall, but all the old girls are also practicing.
 
They also need to keep their craft polished and these actors are wonderful practice partners.
 
According to Carla and Margaux. Over 80% of the eligible new girls are ready to work. I will have to look at that myself, but I don’t think the figure would be different from what they had said.
 
They understood my vision and requirements and till now, the information I have read about their progress told me they are ready.
 
“Master Silver,” greeted Mena as she walked up to me. “How are the girls?” I asked. 
 
“The girls are doing great. They are ready,” she replied.
 
“Keep the practice going. We need them as prepared as possible,” I said, before turning my focus on girls.
 
I watched for an hour before I walked to the other section of the manor, where various lessons were being held.
 
I stayed in the compound for another hour before walking out and going back to the establishment. This time, I didn’t go to the establishment and instead, directly went to the circle.
 
It is going well and will open on the same day as the establishment.
 
I toured through the circle, before walking into the spa, which is at the center. Maeve is there, along with a few other people; she is arranging the new spa tools with the technicians.
 
The spa had been an expensive endeavor since the beginning. Now it has become even more expensive and will be even more expensive in the future, but I don’t mind.
 
The benefits the spa had provided had been amazing, and now, with this expansion, it will be even better.
 
“How is the recruitment?” I asked. “Going well; I have recruited nearly 90% of the people we need,”
 
“I am interviewing some people tomorrow and the day after that. If everything goes well, then we will have the required numbers by the opening,” she replied.
 
“Don’t force yourself to recruit people with subpar skills. We will be fine, without the required numbers,” I said.
 
“I know, and all the people I recruited are good,” she replied, sounding confident.
 
There are over three hundred and fifty girls in the establishment and when it will open. Over two hundred and fifty are going to work. To service these numbers, we need more people in the spa.
 
As I had said, such an endeavor would cost a lot of money, but it also provides many benefits.
 
It is one of the reasons why the establishment does so well.
 
After a tour of the spa, I left the circle and went to the building behind the establishment, where Drev and other chefs were practicing.
 
I have hired more chefs and other staff and looking at things; they are doing well. However, I will only know how good they will do on the day of the opening.
 
To be honest, I am scared of the opening.
 
Everything, every part, needed to be perfect. If there is the slightest mistake on a single part, it is going to mess up everything and will take my reputation with it.
 
It would be disastrous if that were to happen. It is why I want to revert many of these changes, but thankfully, it is too late. I couldn’t revert to the old system, even if I wanted to.
 
Soon, my carriage moved out of the gate and fifteen minutes later, entered the gates of another mansion.
 
It is the place I am renting and currently, there are people working around it.
 
“Adviser,” greeted the middle-aged man with ginger hair.
 
“Mr. Ornell, I hope everything is going well?” I asked, to which he nodded. “Everything is going well, Mr. Silver,” he said and began to show me the preparations he had made so far.
 
I am throwing a party, a birthday party. In three days, this body will be nineteen. 
 
It will be the first party I will be throwing, and I need it to be perfect. Lots of important people are going to attend, not only from the city but also from outside the city.
 
Leila wanted to throw it in Castle Radcliff; it would have brought the greater effect, but I wanted to do it in a Greltheaven.
 
I would have done that if not for the big opening one day after my birthday.
 
I didn’t stay in the mansion for long. I looked at the preparations before walking away. My birthday is important, but my business is more important to me.
 
With an experienced event manager like Ornell, I do not need to look at every tiny thing. I rather use that time and energy on business, which could make or break me.
 
From the mansion, I went to my office in the city and began to work in earnest.
 
I began to go through the file after file. There are so many of them, but with Insightful Reading, I am going over them fast; it also helps that the information in the file is clear and concise, without any clutter.
 
It is quite marvelous how Carla and Margaux write the information, with less than a year of experience.
 
Carla especially, didn’t have any experience in the beginning, and even then; she was good. After taking classes, she became as good as the clerk with years of experience.
 
The skills help and I could tell they had used some, but the skills alone aren’t enough.
 
It was around nine when I had gone through the entire files. I had finished sooner than I had expected and now that I had done; I am free to do the real work.
 
Tomorrow, I will interview the new girls; to see who are ready to work.
 
It is not just new girls, but also some old girls who have turned eighteen and want to work. 
 
Like all the girls, they have the option to do other things; with the establishment grown, there are many other things they could do, but most have opted to work in business.
 
It is hard to blame them when they see how much money their friends are making.
 
Many had started investing with the money they had earned. Buying the properties, precious metals, gems, and other things.
 
Some had earned enough that if they used the money wisely. They could live off it, till they die.
 
“There is a message from Major Jarvis,” said Zela and I turned to her. “A group of six-eight monsters has attacked, and the monsters in the group were stronger than usual,”
 
“Eighteen of them were Grade 2, twenty-seven were Grade 1 and the rest Grade 0,” she informed.
 
My expression turned serious.
 
There were only a few days of calm after the monster’s horde before monsters resumed attacking. There were small groups, but every day, there would be an attack.
 
We have been vigilant and killed each and every monster, but still, the monster attacks had made us worried.
 
This new message made me even more worried.
 
Usually, when such a big group of monsters attacks. The lowest-grade monsters are in the greatest numbers; it was the same when the horde attacked.
 
There were Grade 0 Monsters in the highest numbers, with Grade 1 in lower and Grade 2 in even lower numbers.
 
And there were only four Grade 3 in over six thousand monsters.
 
Now in this group, there are a greater number of Grade 1 monsters than Grade 0 and the numbers of Grade 2 and Grade 0 are about the same.
 
This is worrying; the greater number of high-grade monsters is never a good thing. 
 
It is a sign; we were hoping not to see.
 
“Thank him for the information and ask him to remain vigilant,” I said.
 
A minute later, I got out of my office and stepped into the carriage. I am going to the establishment; there are few things for me to do, but most importantly, I am going there to pass the time.
 
Carla will be returning in three hours, and I don’t think I will be able to focus on something important with her being so close.
 
I had missed her a lot and can’t wait to take her into my embrace.
