    The salesperson was relentless, employing <b>every </b><b>tactic </b>in their arsenal to <b>sway </b>Matthew. “Crafted with cutting–edge technology from <b>overseas</b>, frying <b>pan </b><b>ensures </b>your food is <b>heated </b>uniformly from every angle, bringing out the rich vors and preserving essential nutrients.

    “There’s <b>a </b>limited–time 10% <b>off </b>offer now. Plus, <b>if </b>you pick up three or more items from our store, you’ll <b>save </b>20%. And, if you bundle this pan with a <b>steamer </b>and <b>a </b><b>slow </b><b>cooker</b>, <b>you’ll </b><b>get </b>three bottles of olive oil for free.”


    While <b>Matthew </b><b>struggled </b>with such <b>sales </b>talk, Valerie <b>was </b><b>a </b>different story.


    <b>“</b>Why is this suddenly being pitched <b>as </b>cutting–edge technology? <b>It’s </b>just a cooking tool,” Valeriemented.


    The salesperson faltered, scrambling for a response. “Well, foreign technology does <b>have </b>its advancements<b>.”</b>


    Valerie <b>gave </b><b>a </b>slight smile. <b>“</b>Advanced or not, we’re just looking for something to cook with. A regr frying pan will do. Also, you mentioned a store–wide <b>20</b>% discount if <b>we </b>buy three items, didn’t you? I noticed a sign outside for a discount on a cooking pot. Shouldn’t that be included too?”


    Matthew hadpletely missed the promotional sign outside. Prompted by Valerie’s observation, he looked out and noticed the discreetly ced sign. He <b>was </b>impressed by her attentiveness.


    Realizing the cooking pot would bring in little profit, the salesperson quickly imed it wasn’t part of the store–wide offer.


    “Well then, perhaps I’ll check the store next door. They might <b>have </b><b>a </b>simr discount,” <b>Valerie </b>said casually <b>as </b>she feigned a move toward the neighboring <b>store</b>, prompting the hesitant salesperson to relent.


    “Whoa, hold up there<b>!</b>” the salesperson blurted out, backpedaling. “Let’s not be too hasty, Miss. I’m sure we can work something out…<b>”</b>


    Valerie<b>, </b>assertive yet graceful, continued her negotiation. She not only secured a <b>better </b>deal but also managed to get <b>a </b>few kitchen tools for free. Her approach was not merely about getting the lowest price; she chose several well–priced, high–quality items thoughtfully, allowing the salesperson some margin.


    Soon, Valerie had takenplete control of the situation. In the end, she walked away with <b>several </b>items <b>at </b><b>a </b>price much lower than initially quoted, along with a notable stack of freebies.


    Matthew<b>, </b>who had been a <b>passive </b>observer until then, found the whole exchange quite entertaining. He had never seen anyone manage <b>a </b><b>sales </b>situation quite like Valerie did.


    Mini’s trunk <b>was </b>too small to fit all her purchases, so Valerie approached the salesperson once more. Whatever she said worked wonders <b>because </b>the salesperson soon agreed to deliver everything to her home at no extra charge.


    After organizing the kitchen utensils, Valerie, with Matthew following, moved on to the tableware section. <b>There</b>, they encountered an exquisite <b>set </b>of tableware priced at 100 dors<b>.</b>


    <b>Valerie’s </b>brow <b>furrowed </b>in disapproval. “I’m wondering if <b>I </b>can get a discount on <b>these</b><b>?</b><b>”</b>


    Matthew <b>was </b>astounded by <b>her </b><b>request</b><b>. </b>‘Looks <b>like </b>she’s not at all worried that this <b>may </b><b>cause </b>offense<b>, </b>he wondered.


    To his <b>amazement</b><b>, </b>after <b>a </b>quick <b>discussion </b>with the shop <b>owner</b><b>, </b>they <b>epted </b>her <b>offer</b>.


    With her kitchen essentials <b>squared </b><b>away</b>, <b>Valerie </b>convinced Matthew <b>to </b>swing by the <b>biggest </b>supermarket in <b>town</b>. Matthew <b>had </b><b>just </b>nned to <b>pick </b><b>up </b>some seafood for dinner<b>, </b>but <b>Valerie </b>ended up filling their cart to the brim<b>–</b><b>fresh </b>meat, produce<b>, </b><b>all </b>kinds of seasonings, the works. By the time they <b>were </b>done<b>, </b>the <b>back </b><b>seat </b>of <b>Matthew’s </b><b>car </b><b>was </b>practically overflowing.


    Today<b>, </b><b>Matthew </b><b>saw </b>a <b>new </b>side <b>of </b><b>Valerie</b><b>. </b>She truly lived up to <b>her </b>reputation <b>as </b>the top <b>salesperson </b>at <b>Arcton Cars</b><b>. </b>It <b>made </b><b>sense </b>now why she <b>reacted </b>the <b>way </b>she did to the <b>prices </b><b><i>of </i></b>the treadmill and dishwasher<b>. </b>Had she <b>been </b>in charge<b>, </b><b>she </b>likely would <b>have </b>haggled for a much better deal.


    <b>It </b>made Matthew <b>realize </b>something <b>else </b>about Valerie too. He’d kind of assumed she might try to <b>use </b>his <b>offer </b>to <b>cover </b>the bill <b>as </b>an <b>excuse </b><b>to </b>splurge on herself. <b>But </b><b>instead</b>, she’d beenser–focused <b>all </b><b>day </b>on getting the best <b>deals </b>and saving him money wherever possible.


    Valerie joyously sorted through her finds, <b>particrly </b>cherishing the tableware <b>set </b>for its cuteness and <b>elegance</b>. She <b>believed </b>that beautiful tableware could indeed enhance the dining <b>experience</b>.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
