Chapter 125: Veela receptionists, Goblin Accountants

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Harry looked at the ten adult Veela acting as receptionists in his shops inside the Mall with an amused glance.

"Welcome Mr Potter. Please come with me. Mrs Mia and Mr Steve are waiting for you at their office." She with a nod and started leading him through the mall, her hips juggling from side to side and if he did not had so much control over his magic, her allure might have already put him in a trance.

He had no idea that his company had Veela under their employment. Or if there were any Veela in Britain at all.

The highly discriminating laws in Magical Britain which practically placed the Veelas somewhere along with the Werewolves made sure that none of those women ever entered Britain.

But now they were here. In his mall. Working under his company.

How had Steve achieved that.

He had no doubt in his mind that the beautiful receptionists would take his business even further.

But as he started checking the other shops, he was met with another surprise that he could not have expected.

Because there was a young goblin working as an accountant in just about every shop.

What? How was that even possible?

He had never heard of the goblins working with other wizard and witches like this before.

So how the hell did Steve managed to get them to work for his company.

By this point, there were practically 5 different races working for his company.

Wizards, werewolves, house elves, Veelas and Goblins.

Now he was only missing Centaurs, Mermaids, Giants and a few others.

Well… maybe not the giants as destroying other things was their favourite past time. And they smelled.

Still, even if the allure of the Veelas might attract the wizards, it would also make the witches jealous of them and thus look at his company in a less favorable light.

He would have to talk with Steve to make sure that he only hire Veela who had great control over their allures.

It would not do to turn their male clients into drooling idiots.

They were here for his products. Not the eye candy.

Not to say that there was anything wrong with the eye candy. But if your eye candy is more popular then your products then you're definitely doing something wrong.

The jiggling hips stopped jiggling and the Veela gave him a professional smile before pointing at the door in front of them "We're here Mr Potter."

He gave her a nod and entered and found three people waiting for him in there.

Mia Blacktooth. Steve Jobs. And a beautiful blond woman that he never met before.

But by the way she was sitting so close to Steve, he could guess that the woman must be his wife.

"Good morning everyone." He said by the way of greeting as he closed the door behind him and put on a few charms on it before he sent a pulse inside the room in order to search for any eavesdropping charms or the likes of it.

He and everyone else in a leadership position in his company had made sure that there would be no spies in the company but being cautious never hurts anyone.

The woman looked at the magical sparks coming out of his hands before nodded and looked at her.

"I don't think we've met before." He inquired even though he was now mostly sure that she was Steve's wife.

She gave him a gentle smile and said "Oh, that's because we've not." Then she stood up and raised her hand toward him "Hi. I'm Laurene Powell Jobs. Steve's wife."

He glanced at Steve before looking back at the woman and shaking her hand "Harry Potter."

And then instead of letting go of his hand, she continued to hold it and stare at his face.

"Forgive me if I botched up the introduction somehow." He said with an amused smile "I was never really taught the proper etiquette by anyone."

At his words, she remembered that she was still holding onto his hand and let it go with an apologetic glace "Sorry. I was just overcome by how young you are."

"I mean Steve did told me all about you. But hearing about you from him and meeting you in person are totally two different things."

"I hope he only said good things about me." He said as he took a seat of the opposite side from the three of them and Laurene went back to sit in her own chair.

"Yes. He had a lot of positive things to say about you. In fact, I think he's a big fan of your latest invention that you call the Magical Phone." She replied and he gave the man an amused glance.

To know that the CEO of one of the greatest company in the world was your fan was a… humbling experience.

"Is he." Then with a mischievous smile, he asked "Did you told you about our first meeting?"

"Not in much detail I'm afraid."

"Ohh… It was quite a first meeting I assure you. What with him thinking of me as a cheap street magician and then me kidnapping him and all that. You should ask him all about it sometime."

At his words, she sent her husband a mock glare for not telling her the fun parts of their meeting and he simply raised his hands in defeat.

"After this meeting." He said with a gentle smile that Harry had never seen him give anyone else.

"Anyway Steve. I wanted to talk about the various Veelas and goblins working outside for our company. Do you want to explain about that?"

"Explain which part exactly." Steve asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You know, the part where you hired them. How did you do it." He asked "I don't think I've ever seen Veelas working with another wizards like this and goblins are usually said to have a lot of disdain toward our kind as well. So how did you manage it." He asked curiously.

"It was hard at first." Steve admitted "Goblins and Veelas wanted nothing to do with our company simply because it was founded by a wizard. But when I showed their leaders that I'm a non-magical and that I'm the CEO, they started seeing you in a whole different light. Then I told them that my two bodyguards were werewolves and that company was run by mostly werewolves and the muggleborn rejects of our society and they realized that you were different from the other wizards."

"After that, it was far easier to convince them to join our company." He finished with a smile.

He nodded his head in acknowledgement. Even though Steve made it sound so easy, he knew that the older man must have faced countless difficulties when recruiting these people.

He could understand why Steve would hire Veelas and goblins for the company.

Goblins are probably the most experienced in administration work in the whole magical Britain because of Gringotts. Plus, they do not embezzle money or take part in any corruption.

By adding those goblins to the company, Steve had made sure that the financial department would run without any problems.

As for the Veela. There was really nothing much to say about them.

They were the most beautiful species among the magical kind and having a beautiful receptionist and such who could help the clients was a common sense thing.

If people like your company, then they'll come back again and again and those Vella's presence would make sure that the male wizarding population keeps coming back and back again.

Though there was also the problem with women who feel jealous of the Veelas because of their own inferiority complex and what not. So he would probably have to tell the Veelas to dial down their Allure to an almost negligent level.

He told the same to Steve who gave a nod in understanding. Steve was above all, a practical person and would only do things that were profitable for the company as long as they stayed within his moral compass.

After that short talk, Steve, his wife and Mia gave him a short tour of the small mall. He was pleasantly surprised that Mera had divided her clothing store into two shops. One for the clothes and one for footware like boots, shoes, sandals, etc.

Aside from that, everything was as it should be and the whole company was now perfectly ready for launching.

Only a few days and then they would be able to launch the company.

As he was having these thoughts, the light near the four entrance Floo flared red and the guards instantly apprehended the man who had just entered their mall and Harry smiled.

This would be the third spy they've caught ever since the Floo connections were registered and they started working.

He was happy that all the galleons that he gave to the goblins to erect to wards in his mall were working perfectly.

He started walking toward the man who had been apprehended and was a bit surprised when the guards let the man go but instead captured something from his hair in a jar.

And as he saw what was caught inside the jar, he smiled widely.

He knew that this was going to be an interesting day.

Author's Note:- I personally never understood why purebloods discriminate so much against other magical creatures when they could have achieved so much more by working together.

But then again, that's just how human work.

I think that any ideal magical establishment would have a Veela as a receptionist, a goblin as the accountant and werewolves as the guards. So that's how it'll be in the Magical Mall :)
