Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 156

"If my deal on that house goes through today, I'll sublet my current place to you," he said.

"It's right across from the school. Super close, and the security is top-notch.

About 850 square feet, two bedrooms. Rent is only a few hundred bucks a month."

"That's in a premium school district. It's too expensive."

By all rights, Mr. Harth came from a wealthy family and could easily afford to buy a place. He probably just didn't want to live off his parents' trust fund.

It made sense. He was fresh out of college, and even with Melvion Central High School's excellent salary, he wasn't exactly making millions yet.

Colin Harth looked up and saw Mira blinking at him. "What's on your mind?"

"Mr. Harth, I was just thinking. Even if it's a bit pricey, the convenience is worth it.

Look at it this way—money is meant to be earned, not just saved. If things are tight, I can show you how to pull in some extra cash later.

Oh, right! You're an incredible writer. If you ever feel inspired, you could help me write some song lyrics.

Even if it doesn't become a massive hit, the royalties from a decent track would more than cover your living expenses.

And if we produce a chart-topper? The cash will just come pouring in."

Mira gestured animatedly with her hands as she spoke.

Colin chuckled, thoroughly amused. "Listen to you. You make getting rich sound like a walk in the park.

Regardless, thanks for the thought!"

Whether it would actually be lucrative remained to be seen, but the kid's heart was in the right place. It gave him an idea worth considering.

"Also," Mira continued, "once my schedule clears up, I might launch a new project that requires top-tier educators.

But that probably won't happen until next semester."

"Aren't you a singer? Why are you launching business projects?"

"Singing is just a hobby. Consider this one of my actual jobs."

*A hobby that pulls in millions of dollars a month in royalties,* her teacher thought to himself. *She's really out here making the rest of us look bad.*
