The following day...

It's Monday.

It appears that Maya's school started getting in the Christmas spirit as well, as there were all sorts of ornaments all over the school, including lights, mistletoes, bells, and even socks which had teachers' and students' names in them. As expected, everyone was already looking in theirs to see if they got a present.

Mymy, however, was not worried about all of this, but was certainly focused on getting to talk with Vera whenever possible. She had the money from her first deal with her, ready to give her her cut.

At lunchtime, Mymy immediately went to the parking lot, where, sure enough, Vera was just sitting there.

"Hey, teacher!", Mymy said.

"Hello, Mymy.", Vera replied. "Did you manage to sell some of your stuff to Maya?"

"I sure did! She and I had a blast!"

Vera then looked at her confused.

"What do you mean you had a blast too?"

"You know... both of us had fun with it!"

Vera then facepalmed.

"...Mymy, did you fucking drink your own product?"

"Hey, hey, it technically wasn't MY product, it was Maya's vodka!"

"Mymy, I sold the vodka to her, it still counts as consuming your own product! We're a team, remember?"

"It was a gift!"

"It doesn't matter, you fucking idiot! You should already know that a good dealer does not consume his own product!"

"Why in the hell didn't you tell me that then?"

"IT IS IMPLIED!"

Vera then took a deep breath.

"Anyway, how much money did you get from your deal?"

"Sixteen Euros. She bought two glass bottles, which I priced at €8 each."

"That's fair enough. Do you have the money with you?"

"I do."

Mymy then pulled out the money from her pocket.

"I see.", Vera said. "So, I think the best course of action would be that half of the money from each sold drink goes to my pocket while you keep the other half. Is this an acceptable deal?"

Mymy nodded affirmatively.

"Alright, then you can hand me my cut already."

Mymy then gave Vera €8 of her money.

"Anyway, Mymy, just one more thing.", Vera began. "Do you have a bank account?"

"I do, why?", Mymy asked.

"You can make things easier by depositing your money into it and then sending my cut as a Tikkie."

"Oh, sure! I'll try doing that next time."

"Alright, now remember to not do any more stupid decisions. Pleasure doing business."

"Pleasure doing business, teacher."

Mymy then went back to the cafeteria and got her lunch. Honestly, it was embarrassing that she did not know that she shouldn't be drinking anything, but this only made her feel more confident in deciding to not do so anymore. After all, her main goal is success, and this is a perfectly acceptable sacrifice in order to achieve it.
