Chapter 171
“Uh… Can I return it?”
“Fruits are non-returnable goods! Don’t worry, miss. We provide top-grade Musang King so it’s definitely of good quality.” så
“I know that and I do trust that your goods are of good quality, but I don’t need that many.”
“Miss, I really can’t process a return for this. Fruits are non-returnable once sold!” On the other end, the owner tried hard to express his keenness to complete the sale.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was at a loss for what to do. “Alright, then. I’ll make a phone call and get back to you.”
As soon as Anastasia put down her cell phone, she instantly grabbed the landline and dialed the number to the office of a specific man.
“Hello?” The man answered the phone in a low voice.
“Did you order me a truckload of Musang King durians?” Anastasia questioned him immediately.
“Yup. You mentioned that you wanted the freedom to have durians whenever you crave them, so I’ll help you achieve this wish today. You can have as many of them as you want.” Elliot spoke up and implied that the durians today were his treat.
However, Anastasia was quite speechless and she thought, Doesn’t he realize that one can’t have too many durians? It’s fine to have some occasionally, but if too much is consumed in one day then there are a lot of side effects that would occur subsequently. The milder symptoms would be a sore throat and as for the worst-case scenario, one would even experience constipation!
“I think you should return it. I can’t finish that many. I just had one last night so I can’t have too many at a time.”
“Why not?” On the other end, the man clearly knew nothing about durians. Although he was a knowledgeable man, there were also some things that he was totally clueless
of.
“That’s because durians can cause sore throats. I can’t have too much.” Anastasia could only try her best to explain, but the other side effect sounded slightly indecent so she
didn’t mention that.
“I never return any item that I’ve paid for. You can decide how you want to deal with it.”
