"Since you don't know how to manage your staff," Reuel turns to the manager. 

"And how to protect them from worthless customers like that idiot, I believe you need to rethink what being a manager is all about." Reuel simply states.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble," She mutters, looking up at him with those pleading eyes. And she could see that his face was even darker than the night she had caused trouble at the Bakers feast.
