Congratulations to her the customer's said happily.
Hearing her father says 40% discount for everyone, Mitchell spoke teasingly I never knew you were this generous dad the whole family burst into laughter again they kept on teasing each other and laughing out loud until the call got disconnected.
Sam was still standing in the same position watching Mitchell talk to her family happily, she didn't move and inch or made any sounds.
After Mitchell disconnected the call she left the parlour and went inside her room, without knowing someone has been watching her ever since.
The next day after breakfast Mitchell met Ella and ask her if she was Free tomorrow.
Ella are you free tomorrow?

Seeing her reaction Mitchell bend down closer to her ear and whisper, you can also negotiate and get it in a more cheaper price but you have to negotiate in pigin English watch me and learn.
Mitchell turn back to the owner of the goods and start speaking in pigin English boss na your last price be that? Yes ooo haba boss e too cost oooo.....

Mitchell and Ella walk into their apartment building side by side while holding the groceries bags.
Once they enter their apartment they arrange the groceries together and after that they made lunch and ate together.
