Chapter 1053
Claire and Keith gave me advice
“So it’s an attempt to ingratiate himself…”
“That is one way to put it. It always happens when one has power. Though, some merchants are much more obvious about it and make sure you know that it is special.”
“This time, Haines and Isabelle did not go that far. Good merchants know how to detect things…”
I understood what they meant.
You wanted customers who would spend a lot of money. It was necessary to raise profits.
It was the same when working in Japan. You would try what you can in order to get regular customers.
“However, it is difficult to always know what their intentions are… In the future, you may have to learn who to trust. Whether you will get what you truly asked for, or whether you are being tricked.”
“As for me…Sebastian always ensures that nothing like that happens. Of course, you can never be completely sure either. You should be careful, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes, I understand. While difficult…I can at least inspect the products.”
Mr. Haines was someone who we could trust, so there was no real problem. But if I was ever approached by a merchant who I didn’t know, it would be a different story.
I suppose this was like training for me.
