Olive called Ted. "What's the name of the waiter who delivered food to the band members today?"
"Casper, what's the matter?"
"You ask him to come to my office when he comes to work tomorrow."She didn't believe that she couldn't find the traitor.
The man was so capable that he could buy off the staff of the hotel so quickly.
Olive parked her car in front of a pet market. Annie wanted a Chihuahua dog, and she wanted to give her a live one.
She wondered if Annie would jump out of bed when she woke up tomorrow morning and saw the dog running in the room. The little girl was a bit sleepy in winter. She always woke her up twice or three times when she should get up.
Olive went into a shop and there were different kinds of pets in the cage. Chihuahua is a kind of elegant puppy, with a petite and lovely body, which makes people happy just by looking at it.
The shopkeeper was a nice man, he got up from the oven and rubbed his hands and came over. "Which one do you like better?"
"How much is this one?"Olive pointed to one of the white Chihuahuas and asked, she liked this one best. Its eyes were round and bright. It looks at her as if it can speak."
The boss answered, "It costs three thousand dollars at least."
Olive was disappointed. "It's too expensive."
Such a small pet cost 3000 dollars, it’s almost her one month's mortgage, the boss looked nice, but he was so unkind, offered such a high price.
Although she didn’t know much about pets, she made some preparations before she was ready to buy it.
Seeing she was about to leave, the boss said, "How much do you prefer?"
"One thousand dollars."Olive said directly, bargaining is like this, if she did not lower the price first, she can’t cut down the price.
"Madam, are you kidding me? Such a Chihuahua is usually sold for four or five thousand in our store. Today is on sale because of the Festival."
Olive was silent and kept going outward, 10% discount? to get nearly half of the price? He must be cheating.
"Well, then, one thousand dollars, you can take this one."The shopkeeper pointed at a gray-brown puppy and said.
Olive looked at it and said calmly, "This one was ugly, and it has dull eyes and drooping ears, it is worth 500 at most."
"Well, I've really met an expert today."The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Well, if you really like this one, I 'll sell it for two thousand eight hundred to you."
