Callum took out his phone but saw that there were no cashless payment options on the counter. He asked, “Your store doesn’t accept payments via e-wallets?”
Camryn said honestly, “I can’t see, so I didn’t set up cashless payments. I don’t have an e-wallet account.”
She took out her phone and showed it to Callum. It was an old-fashioned model that sported a keypad. She could only make phone calls and send messages with the phone.
Camryn could not see, so she could only call others by pressing the keypad. She could not use a smartphone either.
“I posted a sign at the door saying that the store only accepts cash. If you don’t have cash and if my two shop assistants are present, you can pay her via Apple Pay and she’ll pay me back in cash.”
Callum hummed and took out a one hundred dollar bill from his wallet, handing it to Camryn.
He did not tell her that it was a hundred-dollar bill.
Then, he stared at her and watched as she touched the money. After feeling it several times, she went around the counter and opened the drawer. Callum was tall, and he stood close, so his sharp eyes saw that there were many small compartments in the drawer. Each compartment contained different denominations of money.
Camryn was very skilled in getting the change.
She found eighty-four dollars for him and said, “Please come back again if you need anything else.”
Callum took the money and counted it. There was no mistake. He stuffed the money back into his wallet and asked, “Do you have a business card? Give me one. I’ll call you the next time I need to buy flowers and you can have someone send them to me. It’ll save me the effort of coming here to get it since I’m very busy.”
“Yes, sir. Just a moment.”
Camryn retrieved a business card from a small box on the counter and handed it to Callum. He took the card, looked at it, and slipped it into his pants pocket. Then, he picked up his pot of cactus.
“I’ll be leaving now.”
“Have a nice day, sir.”
Camryn followed Callum out.
