Chapter 194


    "I still haven''t finished the paperwork that will enable me to move abroad, so probably around the


    beginning of next month, like the 3rd or 4th," the woman said with a smile. "Thendlord lives not


    far from here – a really nice person. The rent here is $500 cheaper than simr ces in the


    neighborhood. It’s a great deal."


    Cam thought it over. She was eager to move out of Connor’s ce, but this neighborhood was


    the only one within her budget.


    "Why don''t you just move next month? It''s not that far," Erica understood her concerns.


    "I’ll take this ce," Cam said to the agent with a smile.


    "No problem, I’ll set up a meeting with thendlord right away. Just give me a moment," the agent


    replied, beaming.


    "Would you mind if I check the water and electricity?" John asked the woman.


    "Of course," she replied with a gentle smile.


    "Thanks," Cam said to John.


    She didn’t know much about these things. She hadn''t done a proper inspection of herst rental and


    ended up facing a myriad of issues after moving in.


    John inspected everything and confirmed there were no issues.


    The agent was efficient and quickly arranged for thendlord toe to the real estate office to sign


    the contract. Thendlord was a woman in her fifties, graceful and always smiling, clearly easy to


    get along with. She brought the original property deed for them to inspect.


    "The lease is double deposit and one month''s rent in advance, starting from the 15th of next month.


    This gives you a few days to move."


    "Thank you," Cam said, signing the contract as soon as she verified it was okay.


    Cam held the rental contract after leaving the real estate office, feeling incredibly relieved.


    "Thanks for your effort. Let me treat you to dinner."


    "Darling, I''d love to, but I have to go back to the magazine," Erica said, looking regretful.


    "No worries, we''ll make another n. Your call," Cam chuckled.


    "I''ll drive myself back to your ce. You guys go ahead and have dinner."


    "Sure, drive safely."


    Erica waved goodbye.


    "Shall we go grab something to eat? What would you like?" Cam asked John.

    "I’m easy. Anything’s fine," John looked around and suggested, "How about that diner over there? It


    looks pretty good."


    Cam looked where he was pointing andughed, "Don’t worry about the cost. Let’s go for


    something fancier."


    "I think that ce is actually quite nice," John insisted.


    "Alright, my wallet thanks you," Cam chuckled.


    They entered the diner, and it was getting busier as it was almost lunchtime. They found a table by


    the window and ordered some rmended dishes.


    "Your new ce looks really nice," Johnmented as he sipped his tea.


    "Yeah, I love the balcony. It’s filled with lots of green nts. I can just imagine how delightful it would


    be to sit there on a sunny afternoon, reading a book and sipping tea," Cam described the scenic


    view of the balcony, almost immersing herself in that pleasant scenario.


    "I remembered that you work at Future Inc.. You must be busy with work. Rxing on the balcony


    after work sounds really pleasant," John said.


    Cam nodded with a smile. The view might notpare to Belleview Heights, but she really loved


    it. It felt like home.


    "I remember Monday is the grand opening of your gship store. I''ve taken the day off to check it


    out," John added. He was a tech enthusiast and very interested in Future Go. Although it was


    currently beyond his budget, he still wanted to see this new tech product firsthand. Most importantly,


    Cam would be there, and he hoped to spend more time with her.


    "You’re wee toe," Cam invited.


    A spark of anticipation shed in John''s eyes. "It''s a date then. See you Monday."
