Celeste in the Mocha, OTA, MW.
Antique Apparel was up and running beautifully, and Celeste was beginning to trust her staff enough that she'd decided to take the morning away from the shop to catch up on a little paperwork, work out her staff schedule for the next week.

And so, 10 o'clock found her ensconced in a corner of the Mocha, wearing a pretty floral tea dress and peeptoe sandals, a frappuchino at her elbow as she sat with schedules spread out across her table, her diary splayed open to the page with her staff's availability.

She was very easily distractable, and happy for company.

	"I believe it is good for a group of workers to know that they are trusted but that the boss can be magically summoned should they feel out of their depth," Leo said. "So i suppose you could view yourself as a genie, only without the ridiculous curly toed slippers, and the Manor as a very plush lamp." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Celeste laughed. "I hadn't thought of it that way, but I suppose you're right," she murmured, sipping at her frappuchino. "I didn't want to leave them alone over our first weekend, but I can't exactly work every day for the rest of my life, either. They have to find their feet at some point."

	"Better under controlled circumstances," Leo said and sipped his tea. "Hmm, Joy's definitely improving at tea making. I have a theory that there's a nice girl in there trying to get out and just occasionally she manages it. Pity she seems to be so jealous of the female tenants." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She certainly doesn't seem to live up to her name," Celeste murmured, sipping at her drink. "How is it she still has a job?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Her inadequacy only extends to customer relations, and usually only the younger more attractive female tenants. She keeps the Mocha running like clockwork otherwise." Leo sighed. "I can only assume that the management feels that's a good reason to keep her on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Never underestimate the ability to wrangle staff and keep deliveries regular," Celeste said, picking up her frappuchino again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Celeste laughed. "See, if she had any other name, it wouldn't be so bad." (Reply to this) (Parent)
