Chapter 6:
When the author fell into her novel
If I don’t find something soon, I should settle for a lesser job.”
Half a year later, a whole year after she came to this world, she thought of her real life studies and decided to look for companies to work for. Recently a new and promising company emerged. Mirae was aware of it. It was the company started by Arnon, the man who’d hidden his identity and who had become a fire elemental mage just like his father.
The company produced different kinds of artifacts and sold them to the public. It was mostly small basic daily needs items involving the use of fire.
Mirae joins the company fully aware that it belongs to Arnon. She starts from a lowly position, as a junior promoter. She gets caught by Arnon’s eyes once and then twice and so on as she continues working. Work was easy and the pay was good. What enticed Mirae was that the payment with each step higher in the ladder was considerable. She worked as a junior for only three months before she was promoted to senior promoter.
Before even a year had passed that she rose to the position of Manager overseeing the promoting and sales team. She made huge sales as she promoted the product with innovative ideas like adding small gifts, nice packaging, short messages and even prizes for the 1st buyer, 100th buyer and so on. She even made offers and advertised the product explaining its functions, uses and advantages. All of these techniques were new to this world.
Before Mirae joined Arnon’s company called A’s Fire artifacts they had low sales as they only promoted the products by printing small photos on the daily newspapers and the information about the product was told from mouth to mouth, basically through contacts.
A’s Fire Artifacts grew from a small sized company to a medium one and then it slowly grew more as they became one of the most popular places people visited to buy artifacts. Its name changed to A’s Elemental Artifacts as they started to make contracts with other mages to make artifacts under their company in exchange of which a certain percentage of the gains would be theirs or they would receive payments depending on their contributions.
A whole 6 years later from the time Mirae came to this world she’d become a director taking major decisions for the company. The reasons for her promotion were obvious. Arnon’s company had grown quickly mostly due to Mirae’s help. And the position of director was empty before she decided to sit on it. This way she became second to only Arnon.
She’d already met him and they were working together. Arnon seemed to know Mirae’s true identity even if she’d changed her name but he showed no such obvious gesture for Mirae to learn about it. Mirae thought that Arnon had probably forgotten her. She wasn’t a part of Arnon’s life after all.
As Mirae worked for Arnon she started to care for him and wished him the best, not just as her written character but as a real person. She stood beside Arnon. Arnon shared his ideas with her and Mirae listened and gave her opinion. They became working partners and slowly became more familiar with each other’s likes and dislikes, even their habits.
As time passed they didn’t need to communicate with each other verbally to understand each other’s intentions on many occasions.
Mirae had started to like him as she suddenly woke up one day to see Arnon as a man and she became conscious of him. It was weird, like some kind of hypnosis had been done to her. Just as she was calming her wavering heart, a third person suddenly entered their calm lifestyle and caused an uproar.
