Chapter 57: Electric Vivian
Director Vivian Moore, General Manager Oscar Mason, Chief of Security Logan Price, Head Technician Jane Smith-Waters, Head Artisan Voros Goldheart, and finally Secretary Esmeralda.
This team of six unique individuals was the real start of ViTech, a company that sets its vision to reshape the world. Their first day at the job was bound to be busy and Vivian dropped the whole gang at the ViTech Headquarters first thing in the morning.
Everyone then gathered at Vivian’s office ready for the first official meeting.
Without delving too much into details, each of the six individuals was designated their own assignments. It first started with accepting new employees from the job applicants. Oscar Mason picked a couple of assistants as Vivian instructed while Logan had brought some old soldiers that he knew to work as security for the place. Jane also had a say about the employment of a few assistant technicians but both Oscar and Logan had to meet and do background checks on them since Jane’s work, out of all people, would be wrapped in a layer of secrecy.
As for Voros, he was stubborn about hiring assistants as it seemed that he liked to work by his own rules. However, when he went down to the basement where his workshop was set up, he was so overjoyed that he requested to live in that place from now on. As for assistants, he only wanted two individuals, one to work the blast furnace and the other to be an extra pair of hands for him.
The last one was Esmeralda, who was the least enthusiastic about her new job. All she wanted to do was be a maid but Vivian had pushed that other thing on her and she wasn’t very keen on it.
In truth, all that Vivian wanted was to keep Esmeralda close without overworking her anyway but she was in for a surprise once Esmeralda took to her new duties in the office. That happened when Vivian was having a financial meeting with Oscar.
"So as manager, my salary will remain the same as my previous one in the Conglomerate, which is 4500 pounds a month, until we start making real profits. My two assistants will receive half my monthly pay. We are paying Mr. Voros the premium of any expert metallurgist of 9000 pounds since we can’t announce the fact that he is a master if his records go public." Oscar said.
"He actually didn’t want to get paid but I had to force it on him. All the talent in the world and no sense of money to back it up." Vivian commented.
"Well, life is unfair. Anyway, Miss Jane’s pay is 3000 pounds since it is her first possession ever but you insisted on raising it to 4000."
"She’s doing extra personal work for me."
