Regardless, Fane walked toward another stall and took a close look. "Don't worry, Miss Yvonne. You'll only be making more money, not lose it. If you lose it, I’ll reimburse you!" 1
"If that's what you wish, then so be it! I'll take it as you're borrowing money from me this time. I'll help you to pay first."
With a grin on her face, Yvonne held Tanya’s hand in hers as she approached Fane.
"I'll take this piece, then," Fane spoke as he pointed at one big rock.
The rock was square, and it was estimated to be around 15 kilograms just by looking at its size.
However, this big square rock was under the stall owner's buttocks. The owner used it as a stool as she sat on it.
"What? Y-You want this piece?"
The boss was a middle-aged woman. She froze at her seat for a good moment before she shot up from her seat. Hearing Fane's words sent a rush of happiness through her being.
This big square rock had been in this stall since a year ago. The middle-aged woman initially hoped that some rookie would buy it because of its look; it looked
smooth and shiny on the surface after all.
However, a year had passed, and no one bought it. They all left after taking a closer look at it. Even the boss herself thought that it would be an unworthy plain rock since no one ever offered to buy it from her hands, hence she used it as an ordinary stone tool to keep her buttocks off the ground.
The boss would not bother to bring the rock home every day after closing the stall had it not been for the tiny hint of red on its surface. It was heavy, after all.
She had never expected that, on this fine day, a young man expressed his interest in this rock!
