Chapter 267: Chapter 267



.

There were really a lot of people. The good thing was that the entrance and exit were not located in the same place, so it wasn’t too crowded, even if everyone entered together.

The driver was following Dolores, fearing that things would happen that were out of his control.

He was a driver as well as a bodyguard. Since he followed Dolores to leave, he certainly had to ensure her safety, otherwise he would not be able to report when he returned.

There were three floors here and each floor was huge. There were rows of stores and the door of each store had a wide range of products. Everything could be found there and even things one could not think of could also be found there.

Dolores was drawn to a toy store. Maybe because she was a mother of two children, so when she saw the toys, she wanted to go in and see if there were any toys that her children would like.

Samuel liked toys that required brain work and wouldn’t even look at toys like playing cards and stuffed animals like kittens and puppies. Simona, on the other hand, liked stuffed toys.

Dolores was attracted to a polygonal Rubik’s cube. She picked it up in her hand and looked at it. There were almost fifty modules on one side and the size of each module was as small as a fingernail. There were six faces in all.

Dolores turned around a couple of times and it felt very hard.

“Normal people can’t play with this. If you’re going to shop for children, I suggest you buy this,” the toy store owner came over to introduce himself. He pointed to the shelves with rows of various Rubik’s cubes consisting of triangular and quadrangular or square type, “These are more suitable for children from five to ten years old, how old is your child?”

“Five years old.” Dolores still liked the one in her hand.

Those were not challenging enough for Samuel as they were too easy to solve.

“This one is suitable.” The store owner brought out a triangular one that was a bit more novel than the square one. It had fewer sides, so it was relatively simple and suitable for a five year old.

Dolores smiled and pulled out her wallet, “I want this one, help me pack it.”

The store owner smiled. He would just sell whatever the customer wanted to buy. The main thing for him was to be able to sell it.

“Let me help you get a new one.” The boss went in to get the one that wasn’t open while muttering, “What a strange person, why do people always think their children are geniuses.”

In his store there were only two such buckets. At first they were placed in the box, but although many people looked at them, no one bought them because they thought it was impossible to solve them. Then he had no other solutions, so he unpacked them and put them here so that customers who came in could play with them. A lot of people tried it, but, still, no one bought it.

However, today he managed to sell it, so he was quite happy. The manufacturing process for this type of cube was complicated and the cost was also high. He thought it would stay there forever but, unexpectedly, he managed to sell it today.

After finding the bucket, the boss took the bucket smiling, put it in a bag and handed it to Dolores, “Your son must be very smart.”

Dolores smiled slightly and said nothing. In her mind, she felt that her son was the smartest.

Like every mother in the world, she thought her son was the best.

Dolores asked, “How much?”

“360 yuan.”

Dolores took out cash of four hundred yuan and the boss gave her change of 50 yuan: “I give you a discount of 10 yuan. This bucket cost me 350 yuan and I couldn’t sell it for two years. I have no loss since you buy it today.”

Dolores took the change, loaded the bag and left the store. The driver approached, “Let me take it.”

Dolores waved her hand, “No need.” It wasn’t heavy anyway.

The driver accompanied Dolores as she went through several stores. People were going back and forth, so they were completely unaware that, not far from them, a man in a blue parka, a flat cap and a black mask was secretly stalking them.

The products in this store were all toys and accessories, which were not what she wanted. So they went to the second floor. As they took the elevator, Dolores felt someone watching her. She turned around and found no one looking at her.

“What’s wrong?” the driver asked her.

Dolores shook her head. She looked back again. Sure enough, no one was looking at her.

She turned around with doubts in her mind. Soon, the elevator reached the second floor. She found what she wanted on this floor, so she quickened her pace, temporarily ignoring the feeling that someone was spying on her at that moment.

She ran through the second floor and finally found the lace she wanted. The texture was delicate and smooth, while the netting was light and fine. It was exactly what she wanted.

“This one is a bit expensive,” the store owner approached and said as Dolores was glad she had found what she wanted and looked at it with rapt attention.

As a fashion designer, Dolores had extensive knowledge of fabrics and knew the prices well. She calmly asked, “This is sold by length, right?”.

The boss nodded, “Yes, 1880 yuan for 33 cm.”

Dolores looked at the boss and smiled, “Can’t it be cheaper?”.

“This is the cheapest price. In the whole mall, my store is the only one that has it. You can’t find it in other stores because no one is willing to sell it due to its expensive price.”

Dolores pinched it in her hand and rubbed it, “It is woven with silk, so it is light and thin. Its light transmission is very good and it sounds delicate when one holds it in one’s hand. However, the price you mentioned is slightly too expensive.”

When the boss heard this, she knew that she must be an expert, since she could determine the composition just by touching it with her hands. So she no longer dared to use the high asking price: “Well, how much do you want, I’ll give you a discount.”

“I may need a few meters.”

When the boss heard this, she thought to herself that she must be a great buyer, since she wanted to buy a few meters at once. The boss smiled from ear to ear, “I’ll give you even more of a discount.”

Not that Dolores wasn’t willing to spend money, but the price said by this boss at the beginning was too high. This was expensive but her price should not be so extraordinarily high, “1080 yuan for 33 cm.”

“It can’t be that low.” The boss’s smile gradually disappeared and her face darkened.

“You don’t suffer any loss. If it’s 1080 yuan per 33 cm, you earn 80 yuan per 33 cm. I want to buy six meters and since one meter is equal to 100 cm, it will be 18 multiplied by 33 cm which is about 600 cm, you can still earn 1440 yuan.”

The boss was really dumbfounded now. She really knew the cost of buying this.

She was really a connoisseur, so she shouldn’t haggle over the price anymore.

“Do you also have this kind of business?” If she didn’t have a fabric business, she wouldn’t be able to know the price so clearly.

“More or less.” Dolores didn’t say specifically what she was in business.

“All right then, it’s sold to you.” The boss was not that hard to deal with as she thought she would be fine as long as she could make some money. Not many people would buy such expensive fabric anyway.

Someone who bought a few yards at a time was already considered a hardcore buyer.

Some imitations looked very similar to this one and the price was so low that she couldn’t even sell the real ones.

The boss gave Dolores a thumbs up, “You sure are an expert.”

After cutting it to the size she wanted, she folded it neatly and put it in a delicate box. Then, she put it in a bag and handed it to Dolores.

Dolores took out her wallet, pulled out a bank card and handed it to him, “No password.”

She didn’t carry that much cash.

“Okay.” The boss took the card with both hands, walked to the counter and swiped it.

When the receipt came out, the boss took the card and handed the receipt to Dolores, “I have other fabrics here, do you need them?”

Dolores took the card and slipped it into her wallet. She shook her head, “No need…. By the way, do you know if there is any place here that sells pearls?”.

Dolores did not know this place. In the past, she had her own way of buying goods and she had her own way of buying jewelry in clothes. It was mainly because now she was not in Country A and City B, so she could only ask the local people here like them to get what she wanted.

“If you just want to buy one or two, you can go to the jewelry store. If you want more, you have to go to the farm. You have a choice, and besides, the price is affordable.”

Dolores thought about it. Indeed, she needed a lot: “Do you know where the farms are?”.

“Do you need a lot?” the boss asked.

Dolores nodded.

“How about you give me your address and tell me what kind you want? I’ll go get them for you…” The boss smiled, “I’ll take a small commission for it. That way you save yourself time and effort, how about it?”.

Dolores thought for a while and agreed, “Okay.”

Too much time would be wasted if she went to buy it herself. Since someone could get it for her, she could save a lot of time by paying some money. Dolores wrote the specifications she wanted on the paper and the address, “You’d better get it to me tonight, I’m in a hurry.”

The boss assured, “Don’t worry, I’m sure it will be delivered tonight.”

The driver took the initiative to deliver the goods. Since he had already bought everything he wanted, Dolores and the driver intended to return.

When they took the elevator and reached the second floor, Dolores gave all the things to the driver, “Go to the car first and wait for me there.”

The driver saw people coming and going this way. He thought it wasn’t safe and said, “I’ll wait for you at the door.”

Dolores couldn’t let him follow her to the washroom, so she nodded.

She followed the sign and found the location of the washroom. As she was about to go to the door to get the driver after using the washroom, someone suddenly held her wrist.
