He looked around for a while to see if he could spot the woman again to ask if there was a problem with the quality of the service in his store but finally gave up when he couldn't found her. Instead, he walked to the same liquor department and asked the sommelier who is actually also the floor manager in charge straight away,<strong>"What was wrong with the customer from before?"</strong>he continued to describe the woman before the sommelier finally remembered the customer and filled him in on the woman's situation and attitude.<br/><br/>Ryuuji sighed and had him call the slave who had slighted his customer. It didn't take long for the slave to be summoned and Ryuuji didn't pull any punches in his words,<strong> "Have you no fucking common sense? Did none of the training we gave you as a shop assistant was for fucking nothing? You want me to put you up back into the sale again, huh? Probably I'll even sell you on discount maybe?"</strong>The look of horror on the slave's expression is unmistakable at the last sentence but Ryuuji was undeterred, his eyes were cold as he look at the slave on the eyes,<strong>"Listen and listen well, just because we gives you an opportunity, does NOT mean you can take my fucking arm!!"</strong>Part of him wanted so bad to smack the slave across her cheeks or something equally painful but he knew he couldn't, a bruised shop girl wasn't good store image. Instead he turned bad to the slave with hard gaze,<strong>"Tonight, there will be punishment for you. For now, go back to your station but remember. One more, just ONCE more I hear you treat the customer badly, you will go to the display on half price, UNDERSTAND?!!"</strong>The slave nodded quickly repeatedly before scurried away in fear.<br/><br/>Ryuuji then turned back to the sommelier who immediately stood with his back straighter, he could tell that his boss was pissed. Ryuuji asked about the woman's orders which the sommelier immediately provide him with the recorded list in a piece of paper before telling him that the woman had asked the items to be delivered to the marina. Ryuuji looked at the list while scratching his chin as if thinking for something before handing it back to the sommelier as he spoke,<strong>"Add another bottle of our 1990 Romanee-Conti to the list to be sent for her free of charge as apology for the slave's behavior."</strong>The sommelier couldn't hide his shock at the order and appeared ready to object but Ryuuji cut him off before he could start,<strong>"The slave was of our company, her mistake was our responsibility. Do it."</strong><br/><br/>With that done, Ryuuji made his way back to the office when he was interrupted by the receptionist who told him that a man were looking for him about his female relative who might have been turned into a slave. The receptionist also told him that the man had provide him with the possible description of the girl and contact number to get in touch. Ryuuji nodded as he received the note containing the information as he continued making his way back to his office. Once inside, he pulled out the same drawer that he had opened to gave Okanjo his new slave's DMV and started to sort through them to see if any of the slaves he had in the store may fit the description. It was nearly half an hour later when he finally manage to narrow it down to 5 girls who might fit the description. He bit his lower lips as he stare at the 5 papers and thought to himself,<em>'This is bad.... 3 of them were already sold... one of them today, not even 2 hours ago....'</em>He kept staring at the papers before finally gave up and picked up the phone on his desk and placed a call to the number that the man had provided.<br/><br/>Ryuuji didn't want to admit it but he was nervous as he sits on his chair with the receiver on his ears, based on his knowledge about the slavery business, there were a few reason why a man would be looking for his slaved relative but two had been the most common reason: Either the said relative had been illegally kidnapped and sold or they are going to try and buy them for himself. The latter was the scenario that he had been hoping to be the case since the first one had a rather huge possibility to create negative backlash on his business. He had tried hard to reform the business since he became the manager to make sure that the business stayed away from bad rep and being connected to illegal kidnapping would no doubt destroy the stellar reputation he had tried so hard to generate and from there, the whole thing could went down real fast and dragging him along with it.<br/><br/>He waited as the dial tone continued for a few more moment until finally someone answered, a male voice. Ryuuji took a discrete deep breath and spoke in his deep, professional voice,<strong>"Good afternoon, Mr. Cornell. My name is Ryuuji Adam, manager of Emperium department store. I believe that you had placed an inquiry about looking for a slaved relative who fitted certain descriptions. Unfortunately, we had found that there were several slaves who fitted the description provided. If you would like it, can we arrange for a meeting as soon as possible?"</strong>
