Something Wrapped in a Quilt

The fame of Fred and his position as the former manager of research and development at the Crystal Corporation were really useful.

Ann's studio had already received a few private orders since the opening.

Although the orders were not big, it was very good for a new studio.

The dozen or so perfumers in her studio were busy with these lists.

Ann had wanted to do it with them, but the new secretary, Kelly, came with a stack of documents.

"Miss Ann, the spices in the warehouse are not enough. The temporary purchase of them is a bit expensive in River City. We must take measures, otherwise, it will affect the income of our studio. How about contacting a long-term cooperative merchant?"

Ann took a look at the price list and nodded.

Ann said, "How about this? You go to find a reliable local spice supplier to cope with the latest orders. Then select several good spice merchants that we will establish upstanding business relations with."

"Alright, I'll do it now."
