Aurora’s Breitling Journal 28/07/22

Forgot to bring my phone with me when I left home in the morning. That was at 8:55 and it was supposed to be a chilling 25 mins for me to walk to the train station. Instead, I realised that I bloody forgot the phone after leaving home for 3 mins. Well, I could only walk back to get it and it turned out I still had to walk as fast as I could to catch my train at 9:22, the very first train to London from Bicester today. What a lovely morning.

Since I had a phone call yesterday about a potential purchase, my colleague created the payment link this morning before I arrived – but the client’s card got declined. The watch needed to be taken today but either payment link or bank transfer takes time to process. Long story short, I tried my best to explain it over the phone to the client and the boss helped me sorted it eventually. To become management, we have to be dominant and stubborn sometimes I guess.

Got a last minute call to support the event tonight in our Townhouse – Regent Street flagship store, after my store closed at 6 pm. It was good to see those loyal fans of Breitling that I’ve seen very often on the Facebook group from internet to real life. When I was in Taiwan, I was completely fine with talking to strangers at work. However, sometimes I do think, starting a small talk in English – especially with a bunch of men – is definitely a challenge. Under the circumstances, I’m so glad that this was mainly about work and I had the main topic – our watches apparently – to talk about.

Surprisingly, the end of this event for me was a gentleman asking me “Is Breitling looking after you well?”

I wasn’t very sure about his intention of the question, but I guess just because they love the brand, they want to be proud of every perspective of this company – including how they treat their employees. Do they look after me well? I think so.

Generally, it’s a tiring day. Plus girls’ monthly friend just decided to visit. And GUESS WHAT? I forgot my phone in Bond St., my primary boutique, just before we closed there and I went to the Townhouse! Wasn’t it meant to be that I would forget to bring my phone with me today? Maybe I shall blame the damn period makes my brain useless???

Finally, I wonder if I would be working hard enough to write this diary in Chinese again
