She was in luck; the boss of this vendor spoke the country’s language. He smiled and said, “Miss, you have a good eye for things. I really like these earrings too and had planned to keep them for myself. But since you have your heart set on them, I’ll sell them to you. A pair of earrings for 12 dollars.”
12… Enna Clark bit her lip. The price was close to what she had expected, but she still put down the earrings and tried to haggle with the boss, “Boss, 12 is too expensive, can you lower the price a bit? If it’s lower, I’ll buy them.”
Baron Lawrence frowned, intending to help her pay. Enna knew he would spoil her plan, so she secretly reached out, held his hand, and subtly shook her head at him.
What is this woman up to?
Enna held him back, pressing for time to haggle the price, “Boss, could you make it a bit cheaper? It’s my first time traveling abroad, and I didn’t bring much money. I want to buy some other things to bring back, but if you sell them at 12 dollars, I won’t be able to buy anything else.”
The boss looked troubled, “But Miss, I’ve already given you a really good price.”
“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do then.” Enna regretfully pulled Baron Lawrence forward…
She had only taken two steps when she felt herself being pulled back.
She paused, raised her head, and saw the man with a stern face pulling her, seemingly trying to go back.
“Baron Lawrence, what are you doing?”
“Don’t you like those earrings? Why are you leaving? I’ll buy them for you.” It seemed absurd to him that his woman should have to give up a 12 dollar pair of earrings.
Enna grimaced and held him back, not allowing him to return, “I’m not leaving.
I’m just.. ‘
“Just what?” Baron Lawrence glared at her, his luxurious phoenix eyes fixed on her.
Enna didn’t know how to explain the haggling technique to him.
Fortunately, at that moment, the boss called out to them.
“Miss, wait a moment. I’ll give you the earrings for 9 dollars. It’s the lowest price I can go. If you still like them, take them. If you still think they’re expensive, then I guess that’s it.”
Enna sighed with relief and happily pulled him back. While walking, she whispered an explanation to him, “You don’t know, but you can usually haggle at these roadside stalls. The bosses know this trick and often quote higher prices than what they are willing to sell for. If they encounter someone who doesn’t know how to haggle, they make a bigger profit. However, they leave room for negotiation with people who are experienced. So, when shopping at these places, never accept the price the boss first quotes; you should haggle with them. If they refuse to budge, pretend to leave. Usually, the bosses will lower the price to make a sale.”
Baron Lawrence listened to her reciting these little tricks of bargaining as if they were precious secrets, his heart aching slightly.
What kind of life had she led these past years that enabled her to know so much? He would rather she knew nothing about such things.
Enna didn’t know what was going through his mind and, after paying the boss 9 dollars, happily held the earrings in her hand.
Olivia loved simple little accessories, and this pair of pearl earrings were just perfect. She would be very happy with them.
Now that she had accomplished her biggest task of the day, Enna felt more relaxed. She and Olivia leisurely strolled through the Night Market. The best thing about a Night Market is that they have everything you might want.
Food, drinks, entertainment – the Night Market has it all. There is nothing you can imagine that it doesn’t offer.
Enna snacked, drank, and found some little toys while browsing the stalls.
“What’s that?”
As she was about to head back, she suddenly noticed a crowd of people up ahead who seemed to be scrambling for some great item. Her eyes lit up, and she ran over to Baron Lawrence, “Baron, let’s go over and take a look..”
