Chapter 52: A Little Bit of Preparation
"First of all, your attitude at the beginning was too rigid. It might give a bad impression to the client or even scare them, affecting the guild's reputation."
"Um... Sorry?" Rhodes admitted, realizing his initial stiffness.
"Second, you showed the task sheet without confirming the client's identity first. At the very least, you should have asked for the client's name."
That made sense—Rhodes hadn't thought about that. He just assumed she was the client... She really was, though!
After some self-reflection, Rhodes understood that Mira wasn't just having fun (maybe?), but was actually teaching him the proper process of dealing with clients.
"And third, the payment details might be incorrect or subject to last-minute changes, which can easily lead to disputes. It's important to confirm it in person."
"Got it." Rhodes nodded, then added, "Thank you for the guidance, Miss Mirajane! (monotone).
Mira took the opportunity to act important. "Hmm, not bad. I'll give you ten extra points—you barely passed!"
Rhodes was about to say something when he heard Laki's voice. She deliberately imitated Rhodes in a mocking tone, "Thank you, Miss Mirajane~~~"
"Hahaha..." Laki and part-time waitress Sally burst into laughter.
"Hey." Rhodes felt his ears burn. Hearing someone mimic him was incredibly embarrassing.
