Friendship in Face of A Failed Tiffany Deal
I'm fond of online shopping; I'm yearn to be a helpful girl
. However, when lack of understanding and trust emerges, my kindness turns out to be the opposite. That probably gives the very explanation why I have broken up with my friend. It's a result of the seemingly unfavorable deal on line. Since deals are simplified to be just a few clicks on line, I promised to help her book a Tiffany necklace. In fact, I did hesitate at first, for the fear that Tiffany is anything but a cheap thing. What if something went wrong during the transportation. However, weak in reasonable excuses, I determined to offer her the favor at high risk.
Share: In less than a week, the precious jewel arrived. On receiving the notion, I dashed out to the parcel center immediately, only to find that it had closed beyond the open hour. Therefore, I could do nothing but drag my feet to the dorm, counting the hour until the next day. This time I made a call to ensure the parcel was available before rushing out imprudently. Thank Goodness, with the delicately wrapped box in hand, I felt all my patient waiting and endless concern came to the end. I was looking forward to see how excited and grateful my friend would be when she held the necklace. I was wrong again. After opening the box, she was down in the dumps, instead of what I had expected. According to her complaint, it was a forgery, not a real Tiffany. As I asked her how she recognized it, she let loosed with lot's of special terms in testing jewelry. Hearing her reasonable demonstration, I was stunned, feeling as if someone had stabbed me in the back. I stifled my loud breath out of stressful nerves, waiting for her explosive response. This time, I won the guess. She indeed poured both tears and ugly words on me. That whole afternoon, I was soaked in guilt, regret and desperation. Soon afterwards, our friendship came to the end. I just couldn't tell whether it is my silence before her or her unhappiness in front of me that has spells the consequence. But there is one thing I'm sure about. That is, what we do in online shop is to make a deal, so do we in friendship. Sometimes, what the modern world proves to us is that we do not build a relationship but deal with it. So, if you are good at business, you may also behave well in relationship, since the only underlying rule is - self's benefit stands on top of everything.
