Anna immediately realized that this man was a sophisticated and intelligent person. If she did not offer conditions in exchange, even if Mr. Smith gave him the cabinet, he might not receive

So, Anna simply suggested, “Well, please let me join you when you go to his house again. You can say that I am also your assistant. After the deal is done, you then offer to go around their house to see other furniture. Then, you can look at the furniture there, and I‘ll find someone.”

The man stared at her for a few seconds and said, “Deal.”

Anna called that man Mr. Wilson because his assistant called him that. With them, Anna finally walked into the Smith house this time.

The woman who had just kicked her out was not there. Otherwise, Anna would be in trouble again.

Anna looked carefully at the cabinet again. After confirming that it was intact, she gave Mr. Wilson a hint.

Mr. Wilson said, “Okay, I‘ll buy it at your price.”

Mike‘s brother Jack was delighted to hear this. He immediately held out his hand and said, “Oh my God, that‘s great! Thank you!”

The assistant immediately stepped in front of Mr. Wilson and shook Jack‘s hand. He said, “Then, it‘s a deal. We‘ll transfer the money to your account within half an hour, okay? Well, we don‘t want to go back yet; it‘s still early. We‘d like to see if you have any more furniture here.”

“Yes, of course,” Jack said. He was willing to do that because he hoped they could buy a few more pieces

He was thrilled that Mr. Wilson was so generous. Many people had looked at the cabinet before, but no one had ever agreed to buy it at that price.

Anna followed Mr. Wilson and his assistant into the courtyard. After casually looking at some more furniture, they went into the backyard. – Jack followed in and explained, “This is where my brother lives. All of his furniture is new, and none of it is worth buying.”

Anna smiled and said, “Really? You don‘t have any expensive furniture hidden in here, do you? Come on, show it to Mr. Wilson.”

Jack immediately waved his hand and said, “No, I swear I‘m telling you the truth. If you don‘t believe me, you can get in and have a look. He doesn‘t have any good stuff there. I’m saying this because I‘m afraid that‘ll waste your time.”

Mr. Wilson‘s assistant was standing behind Anna. He grimaced and muttered, “Does she really consider herself a secretary?”

Just as he finished speaking, he winced. Then, when he looked up, he saw his boss staring at him with a poker face.

Mr. Wilson said, “If you‘re getting impatient, I‘ll ask my secretary to come with me the next

time.”

The assistant shivered a little and said awkwardly, “Oh, no, I didn‘t mean to say that. Sorry.”

“Then, just stop complaining.”

They smelled a strong scent of cinnamon just as they entered the backyard. Jack immediately explained, “My brother is a pastry chef and just retired. So, he often makes these sweet treats at home. We can go somewhere else if you can‘t stand the smell.”

Anna pretended to be surprised and asked, “He‘s a pastry chef? So, is he making pastries now? Well, you know, Mr. Wilson hasn‘t eaten anything yet on our way. If he has already made something to eat, can we buy some? So, we can eat on our way home.”

Jack immediately said, “No problem! But, you don‘t have to buy from him, because I can just get you some. Mr. Wilson, what kind of pastry would you like to eat?”

Mr. Wilson looked at Anna suspiciously and as if to question her.

Well, she used me as an excuse. I didn‘t even say I wanted to eat anything just now. It seemed that she really knew how to push it, Mr. Wilson thought.

Anna just winked at him as if she was justified, and gestured for him to cooperate with her.

The assistant couldn‘t take it anymore. However, he was about to say something when he heard Mr. Wilson, standing beside him, say, “Well, please show us.”
