Rosalynn suggested, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
Karinaâs face lit up.
âThatâs a great idea.
â
Maggie nodded, a smile playing on her lips.
âIâm inâ
âI wonder if there are four of the same size in the shop,â Tilda mused, glancing around.
Karina turned to the sales assistant.
âDo you have four of this overcoat in size large available?â
The sales assistantâs eyes widened with excitement at Karinaâs request, but then she hesitated.
âIâm sorry, this overcoat is our latest style.
We only have one in stock.
â
âOnly one?â Karina echoed, a hint of disappointment in her voice.
The four women exchanged glances.
Karina looked back at the sales assistant.
âIs there any way to transfer more from other stores?â
âThis overcoat is our latest arrival,â the saleswoman explained.
âEach store only received one, so Iâm afraid we canât authorize a transfer.
â
She really wanted to help them.
But this coat was a storeâs crown jewel.
Stores counted on unique items like this to drive their sales, and other branches would Likely come up with excuses to avoid transferring it.
Rosalynn and her friends looked disappointed, but the saleswoman quickly added, âHowever, our general manager from headquarters is here today for an inspection.
I can ask him for permission.
â
Selling this overcoat, priced at two hundred and eighty-eight thousand, would allow the saleswoman to exceed her sales target and earn a substantial commission.
This opportunity was too good to pass up.
âAlright, please go ahead and ask.
Weâll keep looking around,â
Karina replied.
âIâll be back shortly.
â
The saleswoman hurried off.
As they continued to browse, it was clear that their hearts were set on that particular overcoat.
âMr.
Wright, these ladies are interested in buying four of the overcoats,â the saleswoman said, bringing the general manager over.
âHello, I hear youâre looking to purchase four of the same overcoat?â the man asked with a warm smile.
Rosalynn and her friends turned to him at once, taking in the sight of a handsome young man.
He wore a crisp white shirt and sleek black suit pants.
His hair was smoothly slicked back to show off his forehead.
He looked every bit the professional.
