Trendsetter

Enjoy this short story by Hellen Heels.

She licked her lips. "I actually decided on bringing it up with anyone who would be my new manager here. It is just a coincidence that you are my new manager."

"Lucy."

"Yeah?"

"Enough of the excuses. What is it?"

She opened the magazine and placed it on his lap. "This is what I feel you should do."

He flipped open a few pages of the magazine and frowned. "These are all models in different attires."

"Yes, I know."

"And how is that supposed to help boost your sales?"

"You know that ours is an industry that moves with trends."

"Yes. That is true."

"And if any boutique aspires to make it, then they must be trendsetters."

"Naturally."

"I have noticed that some of my competitors are making a killing like this," she said, pointing at the magazine.

"You mean by getting live models?"

"No, Anthony. It's their attire."

"You want to stock what they are wearing?"

"No. I already have them in stock."

"I don't understand you at all. What are you trying to say?"

"I am thinking of my manager being in some of those attires."

He nodded. "That is not a bad idea, especially when you consider that these attires are beautiful and would fit any woman well. Besides, it would be free publicity for the boutique."

She held his gaze. "You now understand, don't you?"

"Sure. It makes perfect sense. Let the manager advertise the stock that is available so that customers would know how much"

"Are you not forgetting something?"

"No, I am not."

"You are the manager now."

"Yes, I know that already."
