510: Deviants

Deviants

Date- 30 Mar 23211

Time- 7:30

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234

"Susan, good morning. You are early today." I greeted Susan as she entered the warehouse along with Corey. I purposefully did not greet Corey because she had her sour puss face on. I did not want to ruin my morning by arguing with her. Just in case, I chose to acknowledge her existence with a nod. 

"Good morning. I came at the usual time, silly. I see you have company over. Mr. Ben, would you prefer a morning tea or coffee? And you, Mr. Van? Tea or Coffee?" As Corey snorted to my nod, Susan greeted me and offered the hot beverages to our guests. 

"Thank you, Ms. Susan, but that won't be necessary." Van politely rejected Susan's offer. 

"None for me too. Manager Susan, I require your assistance with the sales of these cards. Please let me know when you are free." Old Ven also did not take Susan up on her offer and instead asked for assistance with the E-rank and F-rank blood item cards that he had created. 

"Give me fifteen minutes, Mr. Ben. I will be right with you." Seeing me nod in approval, Susan accepted old Ben's request. And then, asking for fifteen minutes, she excused herself from us, heading to complete her daily office routine. 

...

"..." Corey stood in front of me with a dead gaze. 

"Corey, how can I help you?" I did not know what Corey meant by standing in front of me, so. I asked if she required my assistance. 

"What work do I perform today, Boss?" Corey grumbled. I did not understand whether Corey wanted me to assign her a task or not. 

"..." I stared at Corey blankly without knowing what to say. Should I assign her a job, or should I shoo her? Like how one rotten fish spoils the whole pond similarly, Corey's bad mood affected the rest, especially me. 

"Don't mind her, her grandmother's back in the city. And she did not get proper sleep yesterday night." Corey's hair suddenly caught on fire and morphed into a half-humanoid form. Flaming hairs turned into the upper torso of a human female. It was none other than Corey Park who spoke in defense of Corey Bright. 

"Hi, Ms. Park. I don't get it." What does Corey's grandmother returning to the city and her not getting proper sleep supposed to do with me? Is it supposed to explain why Corey is ruining my morning? 

"Well, Corey's grandparents fought over who gets to retire as the head of the family and stay with their precious granddaughter. In the end, they decided they both would retire and live with their sugar pie. Their reunion sparked… how do I put it politely… a passionate and loud hormonal exchange. The rooms of Guild Association housing are very thin. Let's just say I am scared for the rest of my life. Oh, wait! I am half immortal, meaning I will have to carry this trauma for eternity." Corey Park did not understand the intention behind my words and went into deep detail in Corey Bright's defense. 

"Grandparents sex, it comes in the same league as listening in on your parents doing it. But nothing trumps walking in when your parents are in the middle of an orgy. That's what I thought until my mother's friend asked me to join them." Corey's experience rekindled Van's past traumas. And he sang like a broken rape record with no pause button.

"..." Hearing van's dreadful trauma, Corey thought of various possibilities and ways things could have gone wrong last night. These thoughts made Corey light-headed, and her knees went weak. Before she could fall to the ground, Corey park created a fire cushion to support her fall. 

"Van, shut up." Seeing how Van's babble started to affect the room's atmosphere, I asked him to shut up. I knew Van's parents had an open opinion about sexual relations considering their relationship with demigod Redfall. Still, to think they would invite a child to an orgy, they were just sexual deviants. 

"Corey, considering your situation, why don't you take a day off. Go home and have a good sleep." After listening to Ms. Park's explanation amd seeing Corey's situation, I decided to give her a day off. I did not take pity on Corey. I just did not want her to continue raining on my morning. I had spent an entire night planning how to counter the Circle's false propaganda, and finally, all the pieces were in place just when I was about to commence with my grimoire network warfare. Corey interrupted me with her story of eavesdropping on her grandparents having sex. 

"NOoo! Anything but that. I cannot return to that forsaken place. The walls of that room will continue to haunt me. Please, I will do anything but that. I am begging you. I work for free. Just let me focus on something else." Hearing me ask her to take a day off and return to how to rest, Corey yelled in hysteria and began begging for work. 

"You already work for free." Ms. Park reminded Corey. 

"How about I book you a premium spa Package in the guild association mall? That should help you relax and get you some sleep." Booking doesn't require money. Seeing disgruntled Corey, I helped her book a premium spa session. After all, I want Corey and her sob story out of here. 

"What is a spa?... Ahh, that should be relaxing. Corey, come on, let's go. I want to experience this spa." Corey Park seems to have accessed Corey Bright's memories to learn what a spa is. Learning about it, she seemed to agree with me, mostly because she wanted to experience it for the first time. 

"Okay, we will go but not to the Guild Association Mall Spa but Fine Gold Spa. They know how to treat a real VIP." In Association Mall, if you pay appropriate money, you can access all the tiers of privilege they provide. But in Fine Gold, there is a hidden privilege tier that is only accessible to the True VIPs.
