Chapter 304 Surprise customer

Chapter 304 Surprise customer

Since she was here to stay, I had no choice but to entertain her.

So all of us went back to our manor together.

Baroness…no, it was Viscountess Rose now, prepared everything and we all sat down to have our afternoon tea.

But before we could do that, there was someone that suddenly burst in.

When I looked at them closely, I found that it was Kevin from Haley's store.

He looked around the room until his gaze fell onto me.

Without hesitation, he came over and said, "Boss, we need your help down at the store. The mistress is doing her best, but this customer really is one that we can't handle."

I couldn't help revealing a confused look when I heard this.

Compared to Haley, I really couldn't be considered any expert in business. She outclassed me in every single aspect, so anything that she couldn't do, I naturally wouldn't be able to do.

So why did she send Kevin to ask for my help?

But since she did ask for my help, that must mean that I would be able to do something for them.

Before standing up, I turned to Veronica and said, "I have some business that I have to take care of. Please excuse me for a bit, I'll be back soon."

Veronica looked like she was about to follow, but she sat back down in the end and just gave a nod.

I turned to Rose and said, "Please take care of our guest while I'm gone."

She just gave a simple nod before sitting down beside me. She put her hand on my leg and looked at me with a longing look before saying, "Don't take too long."

I couldn't help being surprised by her actions since she normally wouldn't act this way in front of guests.

In her own way, she was shy, so she couldn't bring herself to do something like this.

However, now she was taking the initiative to do it in front of Veronica…

It was almost as if she was provoking her.

Veronica just watched all of this with a calm expression on her face, but it also seemed like there was a dark glow in her eyes that I couldn't understand.

But before I could figure any of this out, Kevin said, "Boss, we really should go."

I gave a nod and then placed a kiss on Rose's cheek before standing up.

She was completely caught off guard by this and she wasn't able to react as I said, "I'll be back."

I didn't know why she was acting this way, but since she was my wife, I figured that I should go along with it.

Veronica also wasn't able to react at all when she saw this, so I was able to leave without much of a fuss.

But after I was gone and the two of them came back to their senses, she looked at Rose and said, "It seems like we have a lot to discuss."

Rose just gave a simple nod in response.

…

Following Kevin, we quickly came to Haley's store.

This store had been built a long time ago with the wood that we had gotten from the elven forest, so it had been in business for quite some time.

With how big it was, it had become the biggest store in the town in no time. At the same time, with Haley's natural people skill, she was able to easily win the trust of the people and it became the most popular store.

This was the store that every single merchant had to work with now if they wanted to do any business in this town.

And because there was the link to her other store, it had slowly drawn people from the surrounding villages to move to the town.

With this one store, she had allowed the town to grow even bigger.

It hadn't grown to the level of being called a city, but it was definitely one of the larger towns in the kingdom.

Of course, the other driving factor to this were the elves.

It was only in this town that one would be able to see elves walking around frequently.

There were even elves that were working in Haley's store.

Haley had tried to start trading with the elves, but she had completely underestimated the elves' sense for business.

Simply put, they didn't have any.

These elves had never done business with humans before, so they didn't know what kind of prices to ask for.

So some elves chose to work in Haley's store and learn business from her.

While this would be like raising her own enemies in the future, Haley didn't mind and actually had a good relationship with the elves.

At the same time, the elves weren't the kind of people that would use what they learned from Haley against her.

So there was no problem with them working in her store and learning from her.

Since this store was so popular, it was always filled with people.

Even today, there was a large crowd that was gathered both in and out of the store.

There were some people that were going to complain when they saw Kevin leading me in, but the others stopped them.

They thought that it was fine for Kevin to go in since he was wearing a store uniform, but they were going to complain about me going in…that was until some of the local residents explained just who I am to these outsiders.

That's right, there wasn't a single local resident that complained since they all recognized me.

Once we were in the store, I immediately heard a voice shouting, "I don't want to deal with any of this! I just want to meet the person that made that weapon!"

This was a very loud voice that rang out this far even though the owner of the voice was at the back of the store.

I knitted my brows when I heard this, but I still covered my ears and went closer.

When I arrived, I couldn't help being surprised by who was shouting out like this.

With a short stature that came as a surprise based on his voice, a large beard, and fierce muscles, this was a race that I would recognize no matter what.

It was a dwarf.
