With justice served, Loraine and Marco resumed their shopping, but not before returning the borrowed scale to the kind vendor who had helped expose Mack's trickery. Loraine paid for her purchases and the agreed-upon compensation with a sense of satisfaction and integrity. As they made their way through the Lively market, Marco couldn't help but ask, “Loraine, how did you know that vendor was cheating on the weight?” In the business negotiation, he wouldn't miss even the slightest issue on a contract, but when it cto life skills, Marco had zero experience.
