Well, he didn't have to be that professional. Fine, after all, they were old partners, and who else would she do business with? Stella pulled out a paper, "Can you get all these?"

A sliding iron gate, a sunshade, silicone sealant, and detachable wooden floor. You got to admit that Stella always had some unique demands. Monkey readily agreed, "Give me five days, and I guarantee you I'll get everything. But what are you offering in return?" Stella countered, "What do you want?"

"Do I even need to say it? It's fresh water, of course." Water was what they were short of the most.

Ever since Stella disappeared, the water business was forced to halt, causing a significant loss to the boss and a drastic drop in his commission. Even his wife started to despise him for it.

Seeing an opportunity finally, Monkey went for a big ask, "Miss, these items you need aren't easy to find. It's gonna cost you two truckloads of water."

"What did you say?" Stella gave him a 'are you out of your mind' look. Who did he think he was fooling?

Monkey instantly backed off, "One truckload?"

Well, he got another chance to save his skin.

"Half a truckload, can't go any lower. We would be at a loss otherwise. The items you're asking for aren't trivial."

For his and Austin's concern for her, Stella reluctantly agreed, "Just this once. Bring the water truck when you come."

Great, high commission again, Stella was indeed his lucky charm.

Seizing the moment, Monkey suggested, "We could continue the water business."

"No more." Stella flatly refused, "Everywhere's facing drought now. It's not as easy to get fresh water as it used to be. I'll have to figure out a way to fulfill your half truckload of water."
