scans_dailyThe Golden Binding started as a sort of illustrated radio play on youtube, and was relaunched late last year as a traditional web comic.
A small independent bookstore, The Golden Binding, is going out of business soon; the employees have just received it's last ever shipment, and are cleaning up for the night, while discussing the ramifications this will have on their lives. When five minutes to go a trio of young men walk in, full of rudeness, and snark.
When told he will be asked to leave if he persists in his behaviour, the customer retorts, "and if I say no?"
Turns out this is Brian Goulden, one of two sons of Gideon Goulden, the founder and majority stockholder, of Goulden Inc, a multibillion dollar corporation.
Angry and taken aback by Sophia's continued lack of giving a fuck in light of this new information, he tells his friends to start messing up the joint. The conflict continues to build up until Sophia has had enough and slaps Brian across his smug cheek.
That night Sophia worries about the ramifications of her actions, while Brian stews in anger, mixed with the beginnings of a crush for this woman who is brazen enough to defy him.
Later Sophia, and her coworkers are met with good news; it turns out the store is not going to close, and their jobs are secured. At the 11th hour, someone purchased the store from the current owner, and intends to keep it open... and you'll never guess who it is.
For Sophia, things are just beginning. Read the whole story here
