Chapter 294
There were plenty of malicious, opportunistic vultures circling them. She couldn’t afford to let them wreak havoc on her home the moment she left town.
Honestly, at Mira’s current level of influence, moving without a security detail was no longer an option.
“What are your names p>
Mira looked at Silas and Jax.
“You can just call us Sir p>
“Refusing to cooperate? Fine, I’ll just call you Cueball and Braids p>
She was the one cutting the checks, not hiring surrogate fathers.
Thinking they could push her around because of her age? Not a chance. They were about to learn who was really in charge.
Beside them, Zane covered his mouth to stifle a laugh.
As Master Ellis’s subordinate, Zane knew exactly how arrogant these two were. Seeing the young boss put them in their place was incredibly satisfying.
They were Mira’s employees now. Professionally, they should refer to her as Ms. Mercer or use a formal title.
As for affectionate titles, that was entirely up to Mira. It was a sign of respect and camaraderie, much like how she treated the Iron Wolves.
But demanding that kind of respect right out of the gate crossed a line.
“Zero manners. Is this how your mentor raised you p>
“Leave my mentor out of this. You’re the ones lacking manners. I’m paying your salaries. While you’re under my roof, you follow my rules and do exactly as you’re told p>
Jax pulled out his phone and dialed. “Ellis, your brat of a student is calling us Cueball and Braids p>
“Hahaha, those are great names! Hahaha, I’ll start calling you that too p>
“You-? Like teacher, like student. You’re both a piece of work p>
“We quit p>
“You can quit, but you’ll have to pay the breach of contract fee first p>
It wasn’t like she desperately needed them anyway.
“You-? We’ve been conned. We never should have signed that damn contract p>
Mira had heard from Master Ellis that these two were completely broke.
They had made good money in the past, but they blew through cash as fast as they earned it.
Whatever they made, they spent.
Add to that their eccentric personalities and extreme pickiness with jobs, they hadn’t worked in ages and were struggling to cover basic living expenses.
“So, you might as well do your job and protect me properly, Mr. Cueball and Mr. Braids p>
“You-! My last name is Vane,” Silas snapped.
“And I’m Weaver,” Jax grumbled.
“Hahaha, Vane and Weaver? Sounds like a failing law firm p>
Zane burst into laughter.
“Laugh again and I’ll knock your teeth out p>
“Hey, as my employees, you are strictly forbidden from threatening my people. Otherwise, I’ll fire you on the spot, and have my mentor spread the word that you’re insubordinate. Good luck getting hired by anyone else after that p>
“Hmph p>
Though clearly disgruntled, the two men clamped their mouths shut.
Master Ellis wouldn’t have chosen them if their character was fundamentally flawed. Beneath the attitude, they were highly capable professionals.
Before she left, Rachel packed Mira’s luggage, fussing over her endlessly. “Eat on time, get plenty of rest, and whatever you do, don’t overwork yourself. Oh, and dress warmly Eat hot meals, avoid cold drinks Getting sick away from home is awful p>
“I know, Rachel p>
The travel party consisted of Mira, Owen, Gavin, Aidan, Harvey, and their respective security details, along with Kieran Holt and Marcus Sterling.
They were heading to Aethelgard to establish a new branch of Solflare Entertainment.
Grant Ziegler and his VP were also joining to scout locations for new steakhouse branches.
Three hours later, Mira led the executive team of the Solflare Group out of the Aethelgard airport.
This was the political, cultural, and economic epicenter of the nation. If the Sofflare Group wanted to ascend to the top, conquering this city was non-negotiable.
If sending Felix Grant to Aethelgard before the new year was the opening gambit,
today marked the Solflare Group’s full-scale invasion of the capital.
