His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 257

Chapter 257 “I think it has a unique scent,” Lily said without beating around the bush. “Your shop has a

scent that‘s a mixture of many things, so I‘m guessing that you used different woods for your carvings,

am I right?” At first, it puzzled the owner, but le finally understood what Lily meant. “Oh my! I see you‘re

an expert. We use the best wood in our shop, and I assure you that you‘ll find what you want here.

Ma‘am, what type of wood would you like your carvings to be made from? You can also place an order

if none of the goods lere piqued your interest. Price–wise...”

“You take private orders for customization here, too?” Lily asked with interest.

“Sure we do! After all, different customers have different likings and preferences. Although this is a

small shop, we could meet most of our customers‘ needs. The customized items would cost more, but

it‘s worth the price. The most important thing is you get what you want, making you happy.”

Lily could save a lot of time thanks to the owner‘s enthusiasm for promoting his products.” You‘re right.

Are there many customers who make private orders, though?”

“Not exactly. There would be a few from time to time, though there aren‘t many who could afford...” He

stopped talking abruptly, found the situation strange, and looked at Lily warily.” Young lady, why are you

asking so much? Do you want to buy what we have here or place a private order? If you‘re going to

make a private order, write your requirements. You‘ll also need to pay a deposit for us to process the

order.‘‘ “About that...” Smiling, Lily glanced around the shop. Seeing that attitude, the owner felt he had

wasted his time on her and instantly became upset. “Young lady, look around if you‘re not planning to

buy anything.”

He turned to leave, but Lily pointed to a pair of carvings on the shelves. “I‘ll get that.” It was the wooden

carvings of two children. The little boy had a round face and a bright smile, while the little girl had two

ponytails and held a lollipop in her hand. The craftsmanship was not exceptional, but their expressions

were lively. This was the item that she liked the most in this shop.

“Sure thing!” The owner smiled again and reached out for the carved item carefully.

Then he turned to look at the young man. “Why are you still sitting there? Get a box to pack this up for

our customer here!”

Slowly, the young man stood up to take a box and a paper bag to pack the item up for her.

“Sir, I‘d like to place a private order to customize a wood carving. Is it possible for me to get it next

month?” she asked while paying for the purchase at the counter.

A sudden thought popped into her head, so she asked randomly. “Sure, we‘ll get it ready in time. What

kind of wood would you like to use? What would you like to carve and what‘s the approximate

measurement for it? Do you have any other requirements?”

Lily looked around and pointed to the unfinished product in the young man‘s hands. “About

that size. I‘ll let you know the other details in a few days. How‘s that?”

“That‘s not a problem!” The owner nodded fervently. “The deposit...” “I can pay that now, but I have a

request.”

“What is it? Just let me know.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I want him to be the craftsman of my product!” Lily said thoughtfully as she pointed to the young man.

Her words made the young man shoot his head up to look at her in confusion. He thought he had

misleard her.

The owner was surprised as well. “Him? He‘s still learning about craftsmanship. We have professional

craftsmen to handle our private orders.”

“It‘s fine.” Lily interrupted the owner. She walked over and then bent down to look at the unfinished

product. “I think he‘s doing great, and I want him to do it for me.”

“I can‘t do it.” The young man rejected.

“I think you‘ll do just fine. I‘ll find someone else to do it if you‘re not going to.” Lily took the paper bag

and prepared to leave.
