Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 157

"Alright, alright, we'll meet the project's specifications."

Mira glanced at Owen. "Let's split up. You take the experts and go over the partnership details with Mr. Blake. I'll take the lawyer and go with his wife to handle the title transfer."

To save time, they decided to use a real estate agency just down the street, barely a few blocks from Emberline Fine Dining.

There was no need to drive; the group just walked over.

Paying the broker's fee was worth it for the streamlined process. It saved them a massive headache and hours of red tape.

The moment they walked into the agency, the staff lit up. Seeing a buyer and seller walk in together to finalize a deal was basically free money walking through the door.

Mira got straight to the point. "We're here because neither of us has the time to do this the slow way. We're both incredibly busy.

We need this expedited."

"Don't worry, we'll fast-track everything. We can get the bulk of the paperwork done today, though processing the new deed will take a few days.

You won't have to come back in, though—we can hand-deliver it to you when it's ready."

"Sounds good."

From there, it was smooth sailing. The lawyer reviewed everything, and Mira just had to hand over her ID, sign on the dotted line, and wire the funds.

The 1,600-square-foot apartment was in a premium school district and came with a hefty price tag—a cool half a million dollars, paid out in full.

Normally, a place that size in the city would go for much less at this time of year.

But to someone with Mira's current bankroll, it was chump change. The MVX-23 stock she'd bought would easily cover the cost in its sleep.

Besides, Mira knew property values were about to skyrocket. Buying real estate now was a guaranteed win.

Once the bike-sharing project stabilized, she planned to build up a massive real estate portfolio.

Now, they just had to wait for the new deed. The agency promised to have it delivered within the week.

Any bureaucratic hurdles or city council approvals would be handled entirely by the brokers. If they needed another signature, they'd send someone directly to Mira's door.

Formalities out of the way, the group headed back. Mira wondered how Owen's negotiations were going.

But just as they approached her apartment building, they ran right into Lacey Quinn Mercer, Lucas Mercer, and their entourage.
