Chapter 217
Adrian walked out of the restaurant with a bad mood.
He had thought that relying on this person would bring that woman here, but he didn’t expect… Judging by her evasive eyes, she probably hadn’t even been informed about his own situation. Adrian immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
“I need you to look up someone for me p>
When Lisa realized what was happening and chased after him, Adrian’s figure had already disappeared.
She had no choice but to take out her phone and contact Adrian.
The phone rang for a while before someone picked up on the other end.
“Mr. Blackwood, what happened just now? Did you get angry because my friend didn’t come? I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to deceive you. It’s just that my friend moved out last night with her boyfriend, and I didn’t feel comfortable telling you in front of him p>
Before she could finish her sentence, a burst of urgent and piercing brake sounds came from the other end, startling her.
“Mr. Blackwood, are you okay p>
After a moment of silence, the man’s voice on the other end finally came through, cold as ice and gritting his teeth, “Boyfriend p>
Lisa, still in shock, nodded subconsciously.
“Yes, boyfriend p>
The busy tone on the phone brought Lisa back to her senses, the call had been disconnected.
Lisa stood in place for a long time, thinking about the man’s reactions before and after, as well as his quick departure as soon as she stood up.
After connecting the events and conversation, Lisa finally realized what was happening.
She stood there, her face turning pale in an instant.
Eva sneezed and Michael immediately handed her his handkerchief.
“It’s okay,” she politely declined Michael’s handkerchief, then sniffed and continued walking ahead.
The real estate agent continued leading the way in front.
“Ms. Hansen, take a look at this next one. It has floor-to-ceiling windows facing south. Just open the curtains and you can see the river view and beautiful night view at night. Plus, it has the three bedrooms you requested, along with a study. This one is currently the most suitable for your requirements The real estate agent paused, not finishing the rest of his sentence.
After all, he didn’t know if she would like it or not.
Eva went in to take a look and found it to be very satisfactory. The location was also good, close to both the school and the company. “What is the rent for this one p>
“Ms. Hansen, you really like this one?” The real estate agent sounded somewhat surprised, probably not expecting her to choose this one.
“I think it’s pretty good p>
“I also think it’s very nice, but p>
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Eva asked, “What’s wrong? Does the landlord have any difficulties p>
“It’s not that, it’s just that we heard the landlord went abroad and we haven’t been able to contact them p>
The landlord went abroad? Unable to contact them?
“Do you have a contact number p>
“I did leave one, but that number has expired, and I don’t have a new one p>
Upon hearing this, Eva felt a bit disappointed. “Then it seems we’ll have to look at other options p>
“Let me take you to see some others p>
The agent scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Actually, besides this building, there is a whole area owned by the same landlord, but we haven’t been able to reach them for a long time.” “So you mean all these properties have been vacant for all these years p>
“Yes, they have. I heard that it’s the property of a big shot from a corporation, but he gave this whole area to his ex-wife after their divorce p>
Hearing this, Eva felt a sense of emotion. Men who still remembered their ex-wives after a divorce were rare.
Next to her, Michael felt something was off when he heard this.
“Ms. Hansen, speaking of which, do you have some connection with this ex-wife of the big shot p>
“Connection p>
Could she have a connection with the landlord? Thinking about it, Eva smiled and whispered, “Can fate let me rent her house p>
“If there really is a connection, then maybe it’s possible? Ms. Hansen, the landlord has the same surname as you p>
“Also surnamed Hansen p>
“Yes, and I heard she’s young and beautiful too p>
For some reason, upon hearing this, Eva couldn’t shake off a feeling that something was wrong.
But she didn’t think too much about it.
Everyone took the elevator down together and at the exit, they ran into a well-dressed middle-aged man, presumably the agent’s superior.
As soon as he saw him, his face turned dark.
“Why did you bring the clients to this area again? I’ve told you countless times not to bring clients here. We can’t rent it out, do you want to ruin me p>
The middle-aged man came over and scolded the agent.
After finishing, he turned to Eva and Michael and said, “I apologize. This brat here is obsessed with this area and keeps bringing clients here, but we can’t rent it out temporarily. I assume he already explained the reason to you.” Eva nodded.
“Yes, I already know p>
“That’s enough scolding, old man. Ms. Hansen has a connection with the landlord, they share the same surname Hansen, and she just returned from abroad p>
“Oh, I see. Planning to develop in the country? Then take her to see the property on the southeast side p>
“Right, how could I forget about that one? Ms. Hansen, let me take you there p>
“Thank you p>
Afterwards, Eva followed to see the other property.
Although she wasn’t as satisfied as the previous one, she really liked the decor style of the entire house. After some thought, she nodded.
“Ms. Hansen, the landlord requests one and a half months’ deposit. Can you accept that p>
“That’s fine, but I might be busy recently, so I’ll need to prepare if I decide to move in. It might take a few days p>
“No problem, I’ll handle the paperwork for you. You can leave a deposit, and we’ll reserve this property for you p>
“Thank you p>
While processing the paperwork, the staff member asked Eva to leave a deposit and provided her with the necessary instructions for the next steps.
I would like you to provide the identification card.
Eva took out her ID and handed it to the other party.
After receiving the ID, the expression on the other person’s face instantly turned somewhat strange. Instead of processing her paperwork, they showed Eva’s ID to other people.
Then, those people turned their gaze towards her.
Was there something wrong with her ID? Could they be suspecting that her ID was fake?
Just as Eva was curious and wanted to ask, the agent from earlier came running with her ID in hand.
“Hansen, Ms. Hansen… is this your ID p>
He looked at Eva in shock, and his speech became hesitant.
“And this name, is it also your name p>
Although she didn’t know what was happening, Eva glanced at him and admitted.
“Of course, it belongs to me p>
After she admitted, the agent respectfully returned her ID.
“Ms. Hansen, are you here for an inspection today p>
