Chapter 47 How Dare He Chase You When He’s Getting Married
In the lobby of the hotel.
As soon as Amanda walked out of the elevator, she saw Patrick in the lobby rest area.
“Have you been waiting for a long time, Patrick?”
As she asked, she glanced at the time and said in confusion, “Didn’t we make an appointment at 9:30? Am I late?”
She had made an appointment with Patrick to rent an apartment.
Since they moved out of the Sean house, Amanda had been searching for an apartment, but she didn’t have time to visit it due to the previous lawsuit. Now that the case was over, Patrick said his friend wanted to rent an apartment.
“You’re not late.” Patrick smiled. “I’m here early, and I’m afraid that there might be a traffic jam.”
“It’s Saturday today. Why is there a traffic jam?”
“I forgot.”
Amanda teased him. “Even a lawyer has moments of negligence.”
Patrick smiled. “Let’s go. If you’re not satisfied with this apartment, we can take a look at other ones.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
The two of them left the hotel together. No one noticed that the camera in the rest area had taken a video of them walking side by side.
“This apartment was bought by a friend of mine last year. After renovation, it has been ventilation and autopsies all the time. He was sent abroad by the company before he lived in.”
Patrick removed the dust covering the couch and waved the dust in the air. “It’s just that no one is staying here for a long time, so you need clean it up.”
“It’s already clear here,” Amanda was overjoyed. “Everything is here, and everything is new. Patrick, are you sure this apartment owner wants to rent it?”
“He doesn’t live there. No one lived here now. It’s better to rent out. He can make some money.”
“Hasn’t such a good apartment been rented out before?”
“As you can see, the decoration is quite exquisite. My friend doesn’t want to rent it to someone he can’t trust at will. Now the rental market is too chaotic, but if he rents it to you, I can guarantee my friend will feel assured.”
Amanda walked around and compared the apartment the real estate agent had shown her. This one was thousands of times better, especially the big balcony outside. If she had a glass of hot red wine with a night breeze outside at night, she would feel very comfortable just thinking about it.
“It’s really nice here. Does your friend have a plan to sell it?”
Amanda’s question stunned Patrick. “Are you going to buy this place?”
“I won the lawsuit, and my account has been dissolved. Although I was given a few houses by the Sean Family, I don’t want to live in them. I want to buy one, but I must wait for the new home. It’s very troublesome for second-hand homes.”
Amanda had always been decisive and never beat around the bush. This was also the reason why Patrick thought highly of her.
“Patrick, if your friend intends to sell it, we can discuss the price. I won’t let him suffer a loss.”
Patrick’s eyes flickered. “Let me ask him about this later. You can stay here for now. What if there’s something inappropriate? We’ll talk about it after you stay for a while.”
“Okay, what about the rent?”
“He’ll give you a 20% discount according to the market price. I’ll send the contract to you tomorrow.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Patrick said with a beaming smile, “It’s good that you like it.”
Amanda opened the French windows and stood on the balcony to take a breath of the fresh air from the tall building. She was suddenly enlightened. This was the happiest day of her life since the lawsuit was over.
She finally moved out of the Sean home and drew a clear line between her and the Sean family. She rented an apartment she liked, and everything was getting better.
Patrick stood in the room and quietly watched the blue-white back on the balcony. The desire hidden in his eyes slowly rose and fell. His eyes suddenly became firm instantly, and he clenched his fists.
This time, he would not miss her again.
“There is a Wal-Mart nearby, and it only takes ten minutes to walk. You can buy something. I’ll help you carry it home, lest you can’t carry it alone.”
“By the way, did you leave your car in the Sean house? You can drive my car these days.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“No need.” Amanda waved her hand. “I don’t go to work now. I only need to follow up on the project, and I don’t need to go to the company. I’ll just take a taxi for the time being.”
“Well, if you have anything inconvenient, you must tell me in time.”
“All right, thank you for your concern and sympathy.” Amanda said helplessly, “Although I’m divorced, I’m still half a rich woman. Don’t worry about me.”
Patrick furrowed his brows. “Amanda, I’m not sympathetic to you.”
“It’s just a slip of the tongue because you valued our friendship from school?” Amanda smiled and said, “Didn’t you say going to the supermarket? Let’s go.”
Patrick wanted to explain himself, but Amanda cut him off. He had no choice but to follow her.
As soon as they left the community, Amanda’s cell phone rang.
It was a message from his younger brother, Aaron. It was a picture of him packing dumplings at home.
At first, Amanda didn’t think much of it, but she received a second picture. She was scared out of her wits in an instant.
“Patrick, I have something urgent to attend to, so I can’t treat you to dinner today.”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s ok, but I have to go to my mother’s place right now,” Amanda said goodbyes to Patrick hurriedly. “Thank you, Patrick. I’ll treat you to dinner another time.”
After that, Amanda waved to a taxi on the side of the road.
After getting in the car, she rolled down the window and waved at Patrick. “Patrick, sorry for troubling you today.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. If you have something to do, go ahead. Go ahead.”
Patrick waved his hand and watched as the taxi left his sight with concern in his eyes.
“Could it be that Mrs. Elder Jewell is in debt for gambling again?”
Thinking of this, he quickly drove his car.
At this time, Amanda was sitting in a taxi. While urging the driver to drive faster, she directly called Aaron. “Hello?”
“Amanda, where are you?” Aaron sounded confused. “Mom said that he is your boyfriend.”
“What boyfriend?” Amanda was alert as if facing a formidable enemy. “Do you know who he is?”
Aaron asked calmly, “Who is he?”
“He’s …” Amanda was about to say something when she choked. “He’s my boss, Party A?”
“But Mom said he was chasing you.”
“You believe everything Mom says?” Amanda gritted her teeth and said, “He’s getting married soon.”
“What?” Aaron’s tone became serious. “How dare he pursue you when he is getting married?”
“Do you understand now?”
“Shameless!” Aaron growled, “I’ll drive him away now!”
“That’s more like it,” Amanda said, nodding in satisfaction. “Great, you’ve got guts. As expected of my younger brother. I’ll leave him to you.”
