After getting off the plane, I found that there were few call logs on my cell phone.
Besides Lisa's call, other calls were from the real estate agency.
I called Lisa first and told her about the situation over the past few days. Then I called the real estate agency.
When the staff of the real estate agency received my call, he was so moved that he was about to cry.
He told me that a lot of people had checked my house.
One of the clients said that she was willing to pay me all at once.
It surely was definitely the best solution for me.
The real estate agency and I made an appointment suitable for both of us. After hanging up the call, the real-estate agency went to contact the buyer who was willing to pay me with the full amount.
Soon, he called me back. And we agreed on the schedule.
When I got home, I put down my luggage and
changed my clothes. Then, I went straight out of my house and visited the real estate agency.
After I arrived at the real estate agency, I saw a familiar person as soon as I went inside.
It was Kelsi Clark.
"Why is she here? Could it be that she..."
When I was confused, the agent came over and greeted me, "Miss Archer, you are here. Let me introduce you to each other. This is the buyer, Ms. Kelsi."
"City Y is so big. And there are so many people. I never expected that the one who wanted to buy my house would be Kelsi Clark."
Kelsi was surprised as well as she said, "Miss Archer, is it you who wants to sell your house?"
I nodded, "Yes."
Seeing us greeting each other, the real-estate agency immediately said, "Oh, do you know each other? That's great. We'd better not delay it any longer. Let's set off to check the house now!"
We walked to my house together.
Kelsi was as elegant as she used to be. Wearing an elegant dress, she behaved so elegantly that I couldn't be on par with her.
On the way to my house, Kelsi asked me, "Miss Archer, the location of this residential quarter is good. So is the property management here. And the house structure here is also scientific. Almost no one here is willing to sell their house. I consulted the agency for a long time. But no one sold their houses. Why did you sell it?"
"I'm in urgent need of money."
Kelsi was gentle. And her tone was gentle and mild, making others feel that she was easygoing.
Hearing her question, I didn't hide anything from her.
"Oh..."
Kelsi didn't ask me anything further.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. I asked, "Ms. Kelsi, are you buying a house for investment?"
"Investment? No, I have a..." Kelsi paused and seemed to think about it for a moment before saying, "I have a cousin who has been abroad for a long time. In recent years, he has plans for returning from abroad. Fearing that he won't have a suitable place to live when he comes back, I find one for him first."
Fearing that her cousin couldn't live in a suitable house at that time, she wanted to
find one for him first.
Her tone sounded so casual that it didn't seem that she was talking about a house which would cost her tens of thousands of dollars.
It was as if she were talking about renting a house or purchasing a bag.
Even so, it was her business. What I had to do was to get more than 10 million dollars into my pocket.
We arrived at my house.
At first glance, Kelsi saw the leather suitcase in the corner and asked me, "Miss Archer, are you still living here?"
"No! I'll move out in a few days."
At first, I thought that Kelsi would mind that I was still living here.
Unexpectedly, she said, "My cousin won't come back soon. Even if I purchase your house, Miss Archer, you don't have to move out in a hurry."
Hearing this, the agent next to us smiled even more happily, "Oh, acquaintances can communicate with each other with more ease."
