The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 894

Brittany shook her head vigorously at Jessica's suggestion. “Jessica, I’ve already paid a year’s rent for that apartment. If I don’t stay there, it would be such a waste! Rent in D.C. is so expensive—over a hundred thousand! That’s a lot of money to throw away!”

Upon hearing this, Jessica understood Brittany’s sentiment immediately. She looked at Brittany and asked with a knowing smile, “Have you come up with a plan? Does it involve Daniel? Are you trying to pull something on him?”

“Jessica, how could I do that? Although he’s quite annoying, he is my colleague! Colleagues should help each other out and work together, not prank one another!” Brittany feigned innocence.

“Cut the nonsense and get to the point. What exactly do you have in mind?” Jessica pressed.

“Jessica, my idea is not a bad one; it’s a great one! I heard that rural boy say he’s staying at a five-star hotel, and the company is covering his expenses. So, I thought, why not let him come live in the dorm with me? The dorm has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, so he can take the smallest room while I keep the largest one. The other room can be reserved for the next colleague who comes,” Brittany suggested.

This recommendation made Jessica furrow her brow in concern. “You want Daniel to move into the dorm? Is it really appropriate for a man and a woman to share lodging?”

“It certainly wouldn’t be convenient for me! But when I think about the possibility of those thugs coming after me at night, I have to endure it! That rural boy may be annoying, but he can fight. Besides, he’s a decent man who wouldn’t go so far as to assault me. If he were to try anything, I’d call the cops immediately, and he’d be taken away!”
