Factories

Althea cleared her throat. "Thank you for your blessings." She said, "Now if you'll excu—"

"Would you start hiring again soon?"

"Well, while my hiring of farm hands is already closed. My team and I are also developing other industries. 

"There are also many people developing businesses, I'm sure more job opportunities will be open.

"We're currently heading to the factories just built. If you'd excuse us…."

The people sparkled but they dared not harass her, lest they give her a bad impression.

And finally, they were free. Of course, some yells like 'my name is (so-and-so) and I'm a very good worker!' were thrown here and there.

There were also "My name is (so-and-so) and I can handle anything!" 

"Please choose me! Remember my name is (so-and-so)!"

Harold and Althea looked at each other with amused faces, their pace increasing to escape the passionate crowd.
