Chapter 149
Tessa smiled. “You don’t have to do that because I’m not at home now. Didn’t I say I was going to move? I’m looking at houses outside now. Sigh, it’s really difficult to find a house now. I don’t think I can go back at noon, so I’m just going to eat something here. You don’t have to come all the way back as
well.”
Her words were impeccable, so Timothy didn’t doubt it, and he even felt more distressed for her. “Well, don’t work yourself too hard-there’s no hurry to find a house.”
Tessa nodded. “I know. I heard your class bell ring. Go back to class, you.”
After hanging up the phone, Tessa wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and let out a deep breath-she felt that it was definitely not that easy to lie.
If she talked for a little while longer, she would have definitely been found out.
However, she didn’t exactly lie that much. For things like moving, it was always better to rip the bandaid off and move fast rather than drag the matter on.
Soon, she began to browse the listings on the website and found a property agent’s phone number. “Hello, is this Springfield Residence? I’d like to take a look at the property. I just want to check with you if you are free to do it later.”
After making an appointment, Tessa slapped both sides of her face to make herself seem more awake, and then she went to the side of the road to take a taxi.
When Edward saw that she was leaving, he turned to look at Nicholas. “President Sawyer, are we still following her?”
Nicholas paused. “Go and make some arrangements to give her the apartment in Regal Gardens. Set whatever rent price, but don’t tell her it’s mine.”
Edward was startled when he heard this.
This apartment in Regal Gardens was in close proximity with the Sawyer Group. Not only was the security system there one of the best, but every aspect showed that it was in an extremely high-end community.
Occasionally, when Nicholas could not go back to Dynasty Gardens because of overtime work, he would rest there.
So the last thing Edward would have expected was for him to rent this apartment to Tessa now.
However, when he thought about it again, since Tessa suffered such a serious injury in order to save Gregory, it was only appropriate for him to compensate her with this.
Fortunately for Nicholas, he only occasionally stayed there, so there weren’t any obvious signs of him living there yet, and it was almost impossible to tell if someone or anyone had lived there.
He nodded. “Alright, President Sawyer. I’ll make arrangements now.”
Once Tessa found the agency, they immediately received the news from Edward and took her directly to Regal Gardens. “Miss Reinhart, take a look. Are you satisfied with this place?”
This apartment was well-decorated, and it came with everything one could ask for in a rented house it was estimated that the owner was a minimalist who was very capable and not cumbersome at all.
When Tessa took a look at the furniture in the house, she found that they were of good quality as well.
The whole apartment looked low-key but luxurious-it definitely did not look cheap at first glance, so Tessa hesitated. “Can I know how much the rent is here?”
The agent replied, “So it’s like this… The owner of the house is now abroad. To be honest, he just doesn’t want the house to be idle, and he doesn’t really care about the rent. It’s not expensive at all–it’s only 2,000.”
The agent seemed calm, but he was clamoring in his heart, This house is worth way more than just, 2,000!
As an experienced property agent, he felt that this was too cheap a rent for such a place, and when he heard the price, he felt his heart drop.
He was really distressed that such a good house was going for such dirt cheap rent.
However, not only the property agent, but Tessa was also stunned as well. She couldn’t believe her ears, and looked up and down the apartment again. “How much did you say the rent was?”
The agent gritted his teeth and replied again, “2,000, miss.”
Tessa was really confused. “In such a location, forget this apartment-other apartments with normal renovations would cost at least 4,000 rent a month. Look at this decoration. It is only 2,000?”
“Yes, Miss Reinhart, 2,000.” The agent twitched the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
Tessa still couldn’t believe it. “Tell me honestly: Have people died here, or are there other problems?”
The agent was dumbfounded for a moment. “Of course not. This house is in very good condition, and I guarantee that it is absolutely safe-there is no such situation as you said. Also, as I’ve mentioned previously, the owner is not short of money. He just doesn’t want the house to be idle. I brought you here because I find you a nice person. If you don’t want it, I’ll rent it to someone else.”
