Iām a novice in business management, so I needed a professional to help me around. A novice should not try to do things on his own.
A new employee thinking that he could fix the system by himself because his seniors seemed to be busy, or that he could recover from a fault, would have caused a catastropheā¦ It was a common occurrence in my previous life.
Even if a senior didnāt seem to be overly busy, they didnāt want to say things such as they couldnāt do it or didnāt understand it , nor something uncool like that, so they kept saying things like āeverything is going wellā or āitās almost doneā and suddenly stopped coming into the office.
Yeah, Iāll stop remembering that.
Also, I think itās right to invest money at the beginning, and if itās not working, quickly assess the situation and decide what to do before cutting losses. Itās foolish to put in only a bit of effort after youāve run out of steam.
I donāt know if a beginner like me can make such a judgment, although Iām sure I could!
I think we should ask for help from the experts. If we can find a reliable expert; the Duke of Yurinovaās family is very blessed when it comes to that.
āTherefore, Rev, I would like you to take it easy and concentrate on creating your work. I want you to make glass pens. It is my role to provide you with an environment where you can do so. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask.ā
āThank you, Young Lady.ā
Rev bowed deeply.
āI cannot thank you enough. I am incredibly fortunate to have received so much consideration. Now that the wood storage room is full, we can put fire in the furnace whenever we want. Once the furnace is lit, this studio will come to life. The flame is the very life of a glass studio. I will definitely make the glass pen that you want, Young Lady.ā

Rev then spread a sheaf of papers on the table with a rustle.
āI drew sketches for the glass pen. Which design do you like for the handle?ā
āWell, as I expected, itās beyond comparison to my amateur drawings!ā
Ekaterinaās excitement went through the roof at the realistic and beautiful sketch.
It had the vibe of a Da Vinci sketch that she had seen in the past, which was already wonderful in itself.
āFirst, I want you to make something for my Big Brother, Duke Yurinova, to use. So it should be masculine and elegant. He has large hands, so it would be great if the circumference can be thicker for him to hold easily. And as for the colorā¦ā
Ekaterina was so excited that she couldnāt help but make a lot of requests, which she later regretted.
At the end of the following week, the school received a call from Rev, who told her that the prototype of the glass pen was ready, and he wanted her to take a look at it.
Fast!!
ā¦
āWelcome, young lady.ā
āRev, are you sure itās ready?ā
Ekaterina asked excitedly with a smile shining with anticipation as Rev greeted her at the workshop. Rev, who had a dazed expression on his face, nodded his head.
āYes, I think itās ready. Please check it out.ā
A black velvet cloth was laid on the table of the sofa set in the corner of the workshop, where a number of glass pens were lined up. All of them are entirely transparent.
āI havenāt used colored glass yet. The inclusions for the colors are expensive, and for now I wanted you to check out the nibs first.ā
āWell, that is the main concern after all.ā
Nevertheless, the shape was already beautiful. There were elements like twists and beads strung together. Iām sure it would be even more beautiful in colored glass, but the effect of clear glass is also very pleasing.
