Chapter 97: A Reason To Visit Her
Lana’s smile gradually faded as she entered her office. Earlier, she had received a text from the head office asking her to call Dina Watson, the manager she usually spoke with about the Crimson Leaf Café franchise.
This was unusual time-wise because Dina typically calls her at the end of the month. However, today was mid-month, and she had already asked her to call. She became tense and worried that something was wrong with her branch.
Grabbing her cell phone, she immediately dialed Dina’s number. To her surprise, Dina answered the first ring.
"Lana, thank God...you finally called me!"
"Dina, what happened? It’s rare for you to ask me to call you in the middle of the month. Please don’t tell me I’m in trouble!" Lana said playfully, trying to ease the tension in her heart.
"Lana, I’m just as curious as you are. My boss asked me to send over the details about your café. They want to know about the financial reports related to your branch and also about the employees there. Did you do something wrong with the place?" Dina asked worriedly.
Lana was surprised to hear Dina’s words. She tried to recall any suspicious incidents or low sales at her café over the past few weeks, but after a few moments of thinking, she could not come up with anything.
"Well, nothing odd has happened here. Oh, right, Dina, I remember asking you to send me a new barista. Still, you said they were unavailable because they all go to the newly opened branch..." Lana paused as she recalled Abigail.
’Is it because I recruited Abigail without reporting it to the head office?’ Lana wondered, feeling anxious. She had recruited Abigail to become a Barista in her cafe but didn’t hire her for a permanent position.
