Chapter 44


    As he nced through the car window, Don’s expression turned grim. He looked at the sachet–


    like things hanging around Gisele’s neck.


    A crowd had gathered around Gisele, consisting mostly of office workers from surrounding


    buildings, with the asional presence of elderly residents, who lived nearby.


    Gisele, who was standing in the crowd, appeared mostly unperturbed, except for her slightly


    bloodshot eyes. When she spoke, she always had a genteel smile on her face.


    Had she actually set up a stall on the main street next to Jefferson Group Tower?


    Although he couldn’t hear her, Dorian could imagine her melodious voice vividly exining the


    things she was wearing around her neck to the crowd.


    When Jon noticed that Dorian hadn’t given any orders, he drove the car into the basement parking


    lot. However, he suddenly heard Dorian’s unfeeling voice. “Go over and take a look.”


    “Got it, Mr. Jefferson.”


    After saying that, Jon drove out of the basement parking lot and made a detour to get to the


    intersection on the main street.


    Further down the road was the renowned main street of Hearthfield, where no vehicles were


    allowed to enter. Therefore, Dorian simply rolled down the car window and watched Gisele through


    the crowd.


    With the window rolled down, the hubbub of voices immediately reached Dorian’s ears.


    He couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Yet, despite the noisy crowd, he could immediately


    discern Gisele’s voice.


    She had a unique voice that was incredibly charming, but in a graceful way. When she spoke,


    it was like listening to a gentle melody.


    “Everybody, take it easy! I’ve still got several boxes left. In order to ensure everyone gets a chance


    to try these goodies, please don’t hoard them!”


    Gisele’s voice echoed as she held the jar of jam and exined, “What I have here is a jam made


    with mangoes and strawberries. It’s sugar–free, additive–free, and all–natural.


    “It also contains a little bit of traditional herbs that can help treat coughs and other respiratory


    problems.”


    Dorian’s brow furrowed when he heard that. After all, he had consumed a lot of that jam

    before.


    “Meanwhile, these tea bagse in two varieties. There’s one forbating fatigue and another


    for calming nerves. I also have edema–reduction ointments, insect–repellent


    ointments, and many more!


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Gisele enthusiastically introduced the benefits of the items she was selling to everyone.


    She even applied some anti–inmmatory and itch–relief ointment to a mosquito bite on a child’s


    skin. The cool, soothing sensation and pleasant herbal scent immediately relieved the child’s


    itching.


    The result was so impressive that it prompted everyone to mor for it.


    “Hey! I want those anti–fatigue sachets and tea bags! Give me a week’s worth! Actually, make it a


    month’s worth!”


    “I’ll take that e ointment! You’re truly a lifesaver!!


    “I’ll take a set of jam. I’m going to buy it as a gift.”


    Everyone in the crowd went on a shopping frenzy as if those products were free of charge.


    Gisele smiled as she packed everyone’s orders. As she handed over the neatly wrapped tea bags


    and sachets, she exined, “If you find them effective, you can purchase them on our online store


    at ‘Sunshine Apothecary‘!


    “They work just as well as the ones you bought here, as they’re all personally handcrafted by me!”


    As she said goodbye to the customers, Gisele was about to start packing for the next customer


    when she noticed Dorian in the crowd.


    After a quick nce, Gisele immediately went back to the task at hand.


    It was as if Dorian was just an insignificant person.


    Those who had purchased their desired items left happily, and the crowd around the stall gradually


    dwindled. As lunch break came to an end, there were fewer products at Gisele’s


    stall.


    Dorian scrutinized Gisele with his profound gaze. She was truly a woman of insatiable greed. She


    was even selling a sachet for 95 dors. Wasn’t that just daylight robbery?


    Jon waited until there was no one at Gisele’s stall before he walked up and said in a businesslike


    manner, “I’ll buy this bag of tea bags.”


    “Oh, I’m sorry! Our humble store can’t afford to do business with a giant like Jefferson


    Group. Please find another ce to shop,” Gisele sald curtly, not even bothering to spare A nce


    at Don.


    Dorian’s eyes narrowed slightly. Was she deliberately ying hard to get?
