As I placed the last item in my bag, I then glanced at the still dumbfounded look on her face. Then, closing the chain, I put on the bag before taking the $200 change I got after reducing the $500 to $300 after a 5 minute long 'negotiation'.
Since I was in a good mood, I also helped Lisa lower the cost of her items from $2600 to $2000, making her just gawk at me while I negotiated. I would have gone to save another $100, but at that point, Lisa started feeling bad for the shopkeeper, asking me to stop.
Well, it's her money. I thought before closing her still opened mouth with my hand and then speaking,
"Let's go."
I also picked up her carry bag, which had all her items, as we got out of the hardware store.
Oh, isn't that like the latest model? I saw a glistening white high-end fancy BMV just outside the shop, waiting for us. It was a sportsback SUV model that was still famous 10 years later.
