Chapter 498
When Stella was done with the checkup, the agent from when she went to look at houses, called her.
’Ms. Jewell, I have sorted out some houses according to the requirements that you mentioned last time,
all of them are located in the areas that you circled but from various house types and residential areas.
I’ve sent the pictures of the different house types to your WhatsApp, so you can have a look. Of course,
if you're free, we could set a time and date for me to bring you to see the houses in person. Then, you
can have a first-hand view of the lighting and whatnot. What do you think?"
Stella had contacted the agent back when she first asked for a divorce from Keegan.
For a few months, the agent had been calling Stella persistently.
During that period, Stella stopped replying to the agent's invites because the divorce was on hold. She
never expected the agent to still remember her and recommend houses to her from time to time.
Stella was a person who would easily give in to constant coaxing. Stella also believed that no matter
the industry, there was no such thing as an easy job. Since the agent spared no effort in recommending
houses to her, she felt like she should not decline. Moreover, Stella was indeed thinking about buying a
house lately, and she had nothing else to do for the day. Hence, she replied, ’I'm free today. Can we
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgo?"
The agent hurriedly replied, "Of course, we can. Where are you now? I'll get a cab and pick you up.
These houses are near to each other, so we can finish viewing in the afternoon. •
Stella told the agent her location, hung up, and dialed Felicity’s number. "I'm going to check out some
houses later. Do you want to come?’
Felicity was overwhelmed with work in the cast. So, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't leave work
today. You go ahead. Remember to send me pictures. I can help you pick the houses."
’Okay. Then, see you tonight."
The agent was a young girl in her early twenties and was around the same age as Stella. She had
short hair, and her build was quite small and skinny. And, she was a clever person.
The agent showed Stela five houses in one afternoon.
Although the houses were all located in the area that Stella requested, all five houses had some
aspects that Stella was not satisfied with.
Some were from old residential areas and lacked security; some were from newer areas, but the
occupancy rate was relatively low and the houses were roughcast houses.
Others were involved in false advertising when they were trying to make sales, and the owners filed a
lawsuit against the developers and the property management.
Stella spent the whole afternoon looking at houses but she still could not pick out one that she liked.
The agent asked her, 'Miss, which house do you like the most?"
Stella answered, 'They're all alright." She paused for a while. "Do you have any houses at hand in
Flourand?’
The agent was surprised. "You want to buy a house in Flourand, Miss?"
"I’ll take a look."
The agent told her honestly, "I do have two houses there at hand, but the budget needed would be
higher for houses in Flourand. It might be higher than you expect."
The houses in Flourand Gardens were priced at around six thousand dollars per square foot and were
considered a middle-class residential area in Rivera. According to Stella's requested size, it would cost
around ten million dollars per house. Given how young Stella was, the agent questioned her ability to
afford the house.
"If it's a nice house type, it's okay if it is smaller. If you can lower the price, I could give ten percent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmore during the down payment."
Once the agent heard that, she instantly made a call to her company and brought Stella to check out
the houses.
Stella had had her eyes on Flourand Gardens for a long while. Even before divorcing Keegan, she had
been thinking about buying a house there. The houses there were beautifully designed. They were built
with spacious balconies and bay windows, and the lighting was excellent.
The agent brought Stella to view the two houses. One was around a thousand and nine hundred
square feet, and the other was around a thousand and thirty square feet.
Stella preferred the house that was one thousand and nine hundred square feet, but she had to take
her financial ability into account. In the end, she chose the one that was one thousand and thirty square
feet.
"I'll take this house. Negotiate with the landlord and check the lowest price he can accept."
The agent replied, "The landlord of this house is working abroad, and it's midnight there. Can I help you
contact him tomorrow, Miss?"
Stella nodded. "Yes. If it's a reasonable price, I want to sign the papers as soon as possible." ’No
problem!"
When they left Flourand, the agent wanted to get a cab for Stella.
