Chapter 730 Congratulations (2/2)

”And this!

she heard her name. Someone called her from behind. She cautiously turned her head back. She found the saleslady of the ice cream store running after her. Beryl stopped and waited for her to catch up. The saleslady held a box which she then handed to her.

”Hi, miss! Sorry I had to run after you. I never thought I'd catch up!” the lady was panting as she said this with a big smile.

Beryl's brow furrowed as she looked at the lady with confusion. She shook her head and took a step back. ”Uhm... I did not buy anything. You must have mistaken me for someone else.”

The saleslady had her hands on her waist as she steadied her breath. She shook her head and continued to smile at Beryl. ”No, miss. It's not a mistake. You won! We have store promotions today and you're one of the lucky ones to win and enjoy a free taste of our ice cream! Here you go!” she beamed at Beryl.

She then handed Beryl the box.

Beryl was perplexed as she stared at the box. She hesitated and shook her head once more. ”Oh sorry, you got the wrong person. I did not participate in anything, and I did not even enter your store,” Beryl continued to take a few steps back as she explained.

”Don't worry, miss. You are the right person!” the lady confirmed and kindly shoved the box towards Beryl. ”Our promotions today are for the passersby. You are the 999th passerby we had today! And you are the lucky winner! Congratulations!”

The lady was now blabbering. She shifted from one foot to the other.

She tried her best to make her lie believable. Her smile felt unnatural, but she had to stay positive and jolly in front of the girl.

They had no store promotions of any kind at all. A beautiful woman entered the shop and talked to her. She promised her a big amount of money and gave her instructions. She had to give this box of ice cream to the girl that the beautiful woman described.

The saleslady was willing to hand out this favor. The pay was quite rewarding and the beautiful woman was obviously very kind. She bought all these ice cream from her store, as well. All she had to do was give it to a girl. That wasn't a bad deal at all.

She just had to think of a quick little white lie to make the girl believe her.

Beryl had always been a little naive. She was always easily swayed. A huge smile broke out her delicate face as she happily took the box from the saleslady. She thanked the lady well enough. Soon, Beryl was on her way back to the hotel with a twinkle of excitement in her eyes.

She slowly opened the box. A whiff of the sweet scent and cold brushed her face.

Beryl squealed a little when she saw that there were four delicate ice creams inside!
