Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 404

After dinner, Willow took Leo shopping for essentials. They combed through the aisles, picking out everything from comfortable bedding to high-quality kitchenware. She had a sharp eye for detail, making sure everything they bought would make a new apartment feel like a real home.

Hours slipped by as they browsed, and before they knew it, the sun was setting. Feeling guilty for monopolizing her entire day, Leo rubbed the back of his neck. "You've spent the whole day babysitting me. You haven't gotten any real work done."

"Helping you settle in is real work," Willow replied with a soft smile. She considered Leo and the team true friends, not just subordinates. "You packed up your entire life and moved across the country. You don't have anyone else here yet. It's my job to look out for you."

Leo appreciated the shopping trip, but he drew the line at being a burden. "I'll handle the apartment hunting myself from here on out. I'll grab a hotel tonight and start looking first thing in the morning."

Willow shook her head. "No need. I already found a place for you." She explained that it wasn't in her current luxury building—which was far too expensive and a bit further from the office—but she asked if he was open to checking it out.

Truthfully, she had initially looked at units in her own building. She had always known real estate in that area was pricey, but until she actually saw the numbers, she hadn't truly grasped the meaning of astronomical.

Forget Leo's salary; even on her executive pay, it was a massive financial drain. While she could front the cash for the first few months, the ongoing rent would put unbearable pressure on him as he adjusted to a new city.

Instead, she had found a fantastic middle ground: a beautifully maintained complex that was slightly further out, boasted reasonable rent, and had a great environment.
