บท 40: Chapter 40:- A Curious Request

A friendly smile spread across Lyra's face as she turned to William. "Mister William, I must let you know that we have quite an abundant collection of different silks currently stocked up in our reserves. If you wish, you're more than welcome to purchase some of it right now," she offered.

William returned her smile, raising a hand in polite refusal. "Please, just call me William," he insisted, "After all, we're not just business associates now, we're allies in this venture. As for your offer, I must respectfully decline for the moment. You see, my company is essentially a newborn, having been established just yesterday. I've yet to sort out some of the details, such as securing a warehouse for storage. But rest assured, as soon as I have everything set up, I'll send a representative from my company to your village to begin our business transactions."
