THE YOUNG MASTER'S TASTE GUARD

MARGINS

Leah stood up and went into the bathroom. Will knocks on the door of the room but no one replies, he patiently stands before Lea's door.

Hearing someone knock on her bedroom door, Lea grabbed her towel kimono and immediately walked out of the bathroom.

The door was open, Will swallowed his saliva when he saw Lea's hair was still wet, and the vanilla fragrance burst into his kiss, "His Almond," he said, trying to keep sounding calm.

"Ah yes, thank you," Lea said as she picked up a glass of almond milk that Will gave her.

Lea immediately closed the door of her room, seeing Will staring at her without blinking. Lea's personal bodyguard sighed and bit her lower lip, then she returned to her room.

The next day, news of Eddie Baker's engagement to Lea Atkinson broke in the media. The Atkinson old house. There has been an order to dispose of all newspapers or magazines today. This was all at the behest of Grandma Atkinson, so as not to burden Leah's mind. Because all the news cornered his second grandson.

Lea is 20 years old. Lea is a smart child, so it doesn't take long to complete her studies. By this time Grandma Atkinson had given one toy store to be managed by Lea.

This morning was the first day he ran a toy store. This morning Lea was wearing a knee-length milk-brown trousers. Wearing a short-sleeved blouse with ribbon ties on the sides of her arms. Two-braided long black hair, sling bag and flat model shoes.

Will was walking behind Lea, really it looked very contrasting, which was one mature man with an aura that was hard to pin down. Meanwhile the woman with an innocent Aura, was soothing to anyone who looked at her.

"Isn't breakfast first?" grandma Atkinson asked Leah who was coming to greet him.

Lea shook her head, "I'll just eat in the car, I don't want to be late on my first day" Lea replied.

The waiter came and gave two boxes of sandwiches and fresh milk, "Miss, please."

"Thank you" Lea replied, giving Will two more boxes.

"Grandmother, we go first, yes" Lea said.

They rushed into the car. Will put down the lunchbox he was carrying very carefully and drove his car. The Lea-run toy store was the first of the toy shops the Atkinson Group owned.

Atkinson's grandmother never wanted to change the design of the store building that has existed since the 18th century. The shopkeeper, this morning has been lined up waiting for Lea's arrival.

"Welcome Miss," said the senior shopkeeper.

"Thank you, hopefully we can cooperate well," Lea greeted all the store employees politely.

Will watches this toy store, all still looking perfectly awake. European design is so thick. And the color that fits in the eye.

Mr. Hamish, the shop's senior waiter brought Lea into his room, "Well, this is Miss's study, although it's simple but it's still said to be quite decent" Hamis said.

"Quite decent, it's amazing" praised Lea for the unique design of her workspace.

There's a cable car line above the ceiling of his study. A locomotive train was running around the track, "It's amazing" Lea said.

"I'm happy if Miss likes it" said Mr. Hamish with a meaningful smile.

"This store should be led by people who value the imaginary world of children" thought Mr. Hamish.

"If so I will continue my work first, all the reports that Miss has requested are already on the table."

"Thank you" Lea said with a sweet smile to Mr. Hamish, then she turned to Will and said, "We should have breakfast before we start work."

Will nodded, Lea said, "Sit down" he said, patting the side of the sofa next to him.

Will sat down on the sofa. They begin to open the lunchbox and bite down on their sandwich bread, while chewing Lea asks Will, "Do you have a family?"

"Family" Will said slowly.

"No, they won't be able to get mad at me" Will replied, inserting another bite into his mouth.

Lea paused, sighed then said again, "you're lucky, at least they'll never be mean to you."

Again Lea's eyes reddened, recalling the previous incident. To distract him. Leah decided to continue her work.

"I'm full" he said, closing his morning lunch box.

Lea walked up to her desk, and started reading toy store business reports, over the past year. Lea slid her head over her desk.

When her nose smelled the hot chocolate she lifted her head, and saw the glass of warm chocolate that Will had just put down. Leah smiled and said, "Well, I know it's going to be really good."

"Please drink" Will said.

Lea immediately took the glass that had just been placed by Will, his eyes widened as soon as he tasted the warm chocolate that Will made, "This is very good, very, very good," said Lea.

"I don't know since when the warm chocolate in this store has changed its flavor to this delicious," Lea said again, sipping her warm chocolate again.

Will glanced at the annual report that Lea was studying. It is a profit and loss statement. It is one of the financial statements that report a company's earnings at a given time period.

In addition to showing the income generated in the period, the costs incurred are also recorded in the income statement.

For investors and analysts, the company's revenue and costs become a measure of the company's performance and as a component of financial analysis in the period.

In general, companies that have Go-Public must publish their financial performance through quarterly, quarterly, or annual financial statements.

It is intended to create business transparency to shareholders, investors, and creditors.

Will raised one eyebrow, after taking a quick look at that type of financial statement. He felt it appropriate for Lea to be a little confused by the report. Therefore the report of the keungan with different versions.

atkinson company releases income statements with different and more detailed versions, these are usually made for users of special financial statements.

Lea glanced at Will, then placed the glass. He closed the financial statements with both hands. Will turned his eyes, then slightly retreated from Lea's desk.

Until the afternoon Lea was still struggling with the reports on her desk. Lea saw Will was not in his room and thought he must be outside his study.

The next day and also the next day Lea still continue to study the income statement report in the previous two years. Will brought me another glass of warm chocolate, but this time he ventured to say his opinion.

"The most effective way to analyze or read the income statement is to compare the margin of a company directly with the margin of a competing company with industry standards that are “the best in its class."

Lea looked at Will as she furrowed her brows, "You mean they will analyze the margins at one period. But it does not rule out the possibility that they will also analyze margin trends from period to period,"

"Finally, exactly" replied Will.

"While from a management point of view, they will focus on margin numbers for the following reasons, such as how companies generate profits or profits in accordance with the targets and strategies of the business they run," Will added his explanation.

"Yes, you're right because margin is also a very sensitive indicator of a company's ability to compete effectively with competitors and to achieve business goals" Lea added.

"To be precise, because margin is an important indicator of a company's performance because it measures revenue that matches the company's target, strategy, and business model" said Will.

"Yes what you said is true because basically, the net and gross profit margin mentioned earlier is also included in the monetary ratio."

Lea smiled happily about their discussion, but again her brows furrowed and she asked, "Where do you know about all this?"
