The phone was on speaker, so everyone heard the offer. Milana’s heart sank. She was so angry she almost passed out right then.
“You… you people… this is too much.”
Jenson was furious too, gripping his phone so hard his knuckles turned white. This so-called famous pawnshop in the Capital was a total joke!
“How is this not the same as daylight robbery?” he snapped.
Juna’s voice drifted through the phone, cool and careless. “I’m just running a business. You want to pawn it, fine. If not, you’re free to leave. No one is robbing you.”
Milana had already thought forty million was low, but now they were dropping it to twenty. She felt like she’d been pushed off a cliff.
“There’s nothing left to say. Jenson, let’s go. There’s no way this is the only pawnshop in a city this big,” Milana said, her voice trembling with anger.
Juna sounded bored. “Think it through. If you walk out now and come back later, the offer will be ten million. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. That’s it, I’m hanging up.”
The line went dead. Milana and Jenson had already turned to leave, but now they just stood there, frozen.
Sandy rushed over, lowering her voice. “Dad, Mom, pawnshops are all kind of shady, right? If this one’s dropping the price, the others might too.”
Jenson and Milana just stared at the door. Should they leave, or should they stay? They couldn’t decide.
