Gregg somehow wins

A rather nice old woman came in and bought a new lantern from Gregg.

As soon as she left, he put his arms up in victory!

"Haha! I told you! I have customers!" Gregg was beyond delighted. "Now... about our agreement..." He smirked, feeling smug.

Victoria's eyes were wide as she was speechless. "I... you... couldn't possibly have believed that I was being serious. It was a joke." She mumbled.

Gregg huffed. "No way. We had a deal. You lost. Fair and square. So I'll see you here. Bright and early." He grinned.

"F-fine. But the rest of the deal. That was a joke..." She mumbled, trying again to save face.

Gregg laughed. "No no. I will figure out your uniform for tomorrow. And you will wear it." He couldn't be any more confident.
