Chapter 766
'I feel like I got ripped off... I should've said fifty.'
Stella felt she got a bad deal. But Keegan felt like his cognitive view got reconstructed.
'You can make such a counteroffer?'
Stella did not simply give her counteroffer. She always went to the night market near Trinity University. So, she could more or
less know the price of these clothes.
But she did not expect the stall owner to be so cunning.
'It's fine. He has to make a profit. It's a virtuous circle.'
When the owner held the bag open for Stella, Keegan handed the set of erotic outfits to him. He asked, "How much is this?"
The stall owner glanced at it. "Hundred and fifty."
Keegan remembered the way Stella bargained just now. He said, "It's too expensive. Give me a better offer."
The owner said, ‘ Make me a counteroffer.”
Keegan said, "Fifteen."
The boss was stunned. He took the clothes from him and threw them at a pile of clothes. "Have a nice day!”
Keegan was speechless.
Stella laughed hysterically.
Keegan was a little dissatisfied. He felt that there was nothing he could not do.
So, he learned from those women who bargained. With a sullen face, he said, "Fifteen dollars. Or else, I'll just leave."
The corner of the owner's eye twitched. ’Leave then! Fifteen? Even I can't buy them for fifteen dollars. Are you trying to make
trouble?"
Keegan was speechless.
This was the first time Stella saw Keegan get knocked back in front of outsiders. Her stomach was in pain from holding back her
laughter.
Keegan felt very dissatisfied that his counteroffer was unsuccessful. He said, "Tell me your price."
The owner sized him up. "I won't sell them for less than eighty dollars."
Keegan's eye twitched. "These clothes have less material than hers. Isn't it a little too much, asking for eighty dollars?’
The owner said. "Look at the quality. Look at the elasticity. I earn very little from them. You can go and have a look at the other
stalls. If they're selling cheaper for the same quality, you can come back and trash my stall."
Keegan pursed his lips. 'Eighty... It's almost half of the original price.' So, he said, "Eighty, it is."
The stall owner suddenly smiled joyfully. "I'll pack them for you."
After Keegan paid, the owner smiled again as he said, "Buy from me again if it's nice to wear."
'I made a profit of seventy dollars from that.'
After they walked aside, Stella said, "He looked extremely happy."
’Huh?”
Stella glanced at him. "He met a fool like you who didn't know how to bargain. How could he not be happy? He made a profit of
at least sixty dollars from you."
Keegan frowned. "Why didn't you warn me just now?"
Stella rolled her eyes. "How would I have known you'd agree to eighty dollars?"
Keegan was speechless.
He tried to make up for what he did. "It's impossible for him to make so much profit. The quality isn't bad. Labor cost is very high.
Moreover, the clothes had to be further processed. After that, it would've had to be delivered to multiple locations. It also had to
be passed through a few distributors and middlemen. He probably didn't earn a lot from the eighty dollars. We should allow the
boss to make some money."
'The fishnet t-shirt is just made from a few threads. And how would he know that the quality isn't bad?'
Stella suddenly felt that Keegan was quite cute when she saw how hard he tried to reassure himself that he was not ripped off.
She handed the clothes in her hand to Keegan. "Do you want to change into these? You'll feel cooler."
Keegan said, "It's fine."
Stella glanced at him. "Are the clothes I bought for eighty dollars not good enough for you?"
"It's not that." Keegan did not want to anger her. "I'll go and change."
He then took the clothes from her. He went in the direction of the guardhouse to find a place to change.
Stella waited outside just for a short while. Keegan came out very quickly.
She raised her head to look at him. She pursed her lips. "You should go in and change back."
Keegan usually wore size XL. She picked clothes that were size XL for him too. But this shirt was smaller than the XL-sized
shirts that Keegan normally wore. It was a loose short sleeve shirt but it became a tight shirt when he wore it. Keegan's muscles
could be seen even when he was wearing the shirt. It was too tight.
Keegan said, "It's not nice?"
Stella said, "It's not that." She then poked his nipple as she whispered, "It's mainly because it's a little sexual."
