When Irish went to Tuell's diamond store, she was anxious since she didn't know if he would give the rough diamond to her. She wondered what she would do if he refused to give it to her. However, Tuell opened the door for her in person this time, led her to the back room, and then beckoned her to sit down. "I thought you would come here early." He said slowly.
Irish sat down and was a little shocked after hearing this.
Tuell showed a rare smile. Though his wrinkled face looked like a dried walnut, she could feel the relaxation from his smile, which puzzled Irish. He kindly added, "I have been waiting for you here for nearly an hour."
"You mean that you'll agree to trade for the rough diamond?" Though Irish didn't know the reason why he changed his attitude, it was improper to ask him too much at this time. The essential thing was to get the rough diamond now, and she could ask him later about other things.
