William Hale was coming to pick her up, and the time it took him to travel from the old mansion was just enough for Zoe Bell to attend to a customer. So, Zoe turned around and hung a "Closed for Business" sign on the door.
"Sorry for the wait, I was on the phone with my family."
"You should be heading home for dinner by now."
"I've already eaten." After some small talk, Zoe got straight to the point, "May I ask what you would like to customize? We have…"
She casually handed over the promotional brochure to her customer.
"I'd like to order a batch of Incense Sticks that can be used to eliminate odors."
"Eliminate odors?"
"Preferably one that can purify the air, made of all-natural materials, and friendly for the elderly, children, including pregnant women, and pets," the customer specified.
Zoe nodded, "The ingredients could include Atractylodes, Agastache, and Angelica…"
"You wouldn't believe it, but I actually have some of those spices right here in my shop."
