Errol walked up to me, with reproach in his eyes. “I called you several times, why didn’t you answer?”
“Oh, I was talking to Neil about selling the store.”
“Selling the store?” His voice immediately became shrill. “Have you sold the store?”
I slowly folded my contract and put it in my pocket, looking at him sideways. “Didn’t you say you wanted to sell it?”
He was speechless, staring at me for a few seconds, stammering, “Yes… I said it, but why didn’t you discuss it with me? What if you get cheated and sell it at a low price?”
I sneered, why should I discuss my own store with you?
Just when I was about to speak, Neil spoke first.
He looked at Errol coldly, his tone was unfriendly. “Errol, what you said is not reasonable, do you mean I will cheat Cassandra?”
Errol pouted and muttered, “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then tell me what you mean?” Neil raised his voice.
“This shop has been open for several years. You only came a few times when it first opened. The rest were all taken care of by Cassandra alone. Now that the shop is going to be sold, she has to discuss it with you? I know you are an educated person and look down on us uneducated people, but at least I, Neil, am an open-minded person who will not cheat on others, let alone cheat on others!”
Errol’s eyes widened and he said anxiously, “What nonsense are you talking about! Don’t slander me!”
“Heh! Which merchant in this area hasn’t seen you leading other girls around the market?”
