“I have been in this business for years,” she started with a hand placed below her chin. “We have never lost out to the other bathhouses but lately, it’s really difficult,” she glanced at Eva as if she was trying to tell her something. Honestly, Eva wanted to answer that look with a ‘so what’ but she kept herself in check with a smile. “What can I do for you?” she asked the question Bella wanted to hear instead. She immediately lit up like a Christmas tree. “I need you to help me with advertisements, of course!” she exclaimed, promptly getting up from her seat to go to the nearest shelf. She took out a stack of flyers and placed them on the table between them. “There should be about fifty of them in here,” Eva wanted to groan as the woman continued, “Except for a few specific locations I want you to place them on, you can do whatever you want with the rest.” She gave her a look that meant you better listen before grabbing a map of Magnolia off the side of the table. She spread it out in front of an amused Eva who was seriously wondering what the need of all that was.
Bella pointed to the south gate park. “This is where I want you to start. This is an important place; you wouldn’t guess how many people visit this park every day. You must place an ad here,” She told her and then pointed to the next place. “The Fairy Tail guildhall. Those hooligans aren’t the best kind of guests but again, you won’t believe the number of people that visit them every day. One of the ads go there. Next,” she went on, pointing to another place on the map. “it’s Olly’s bakery. That place is quite popular, too. You have to place an ad there. The rest can be placed wherever you want under your own judgement. But do not forget the places I just pointed out to you. They are important,” she repeated again before placing the map away and dropping the stack of ads onto her lap. “You can go now. Thanks for your hard work,” she said and was walking Eva out before she could actually say something. This woman hadn’t even truly asked if she wanted to do this or not. She had basically slapped the job onto her. “If you do your work and come back early, I’ll let you take that special bath again”.
