Chapter 2602
“Huh?”
“Dylan told me that the landlord originally didn’t intend to rent the place to Nick in order for
him to continue operating his martial arts training center there. He told me that Nick had to
beg the landlord to agree to rent him the place, but Dylan didn’t tell me that the rental
contract that the landlord had with them had a deadline.”
Cameron gave the matter a thought. “But the landlord said that the lease is only viable for
15 years, and there are still 5 years left. This means that no matter whether the training
center causes trouble, the rental contract will still be revoked.”
Wayne’s eyes shifted away from her, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not utter a single
word.
Cameron wrapped her arms around his neck and shoved her face right up to his. “What
Dylan said doesn’t really match with what the landlord said, but I don’t think Dylan would lie
about the training center.
“Apart from that, the landlord introduced us to the store enthusiastically, and the main thing
is that the store is new and huge, the surroundings and environment are excellent, and the
location is better than what we currently own.

six years, so even if it moved out, someone should’ve taken over the store almost instantly.
Is it possible that a store in such an area will be left vacant?”
The store was located in a commercial region of the city, so no matter how slow and dumb
she was, she would never believe that stores located in such a location would stay vacant
for such a long time. It was a three–story building that had such a large space and complete
facilities–it was more than enough for someone who wanted to take over this location and
open up a restaurant.
Wayne cleared his throat. “The location is remarkable, but the problem is that the rent is
exorbitant, so it’s sometimes normal for such properties to stay vacant for a while.”
Cameron was still skeptical. “Is that so?”
Wayne sneered and kissed her. “Otherwise, do you think that everyone who’s into business
just doesn’t care about the cost, breakeven, and the economics? Some people might miss
such a great place only because they hesitated. Some others might miss it because they
wanted to wait for their cash flow to come in. As for those who can make such a steep
purchase to get their hands on such a place, they’re most probably operating on the income
that they get from other chain stores.
“If you want to get this place for a private business, it depends on how much cash you have
in hand, as well as various expenses and the time needed for your bank to approve your
loan. It’s not an easy task.” Cameron rested her cheeks in her palms and propped her
elbows against the desk. “Is it really not you?” He gave off a helpless smile. “You don’t even
allow me to help you out. Do I look like someone who’s looking to significantly decrease my
lifespan?”
‘I don’t consider myself as someone who’s contributed to her search. I only found her a
good store.‘ Cameron kissed him abruptly.
Waylon was startled for a split second but then grasped the back of her head and
intensified the kiss. The next day, in the martial arts training center…
Cameron talked to Nick about the new storefront. Nick lifted his gaze and stared at her.
“Actually, you
don’t have to help me out.”
Cameron crossed her arms and leaned back into the couch. “I admit that I’m the one who’s
led those men to the training center, and Dylan also told me that you’ve invested all your
savings in the training center. That’s why you’ve been living here throughout all these
years.

time, and if that’s the case, I can’t compensate for your loss. I can always compensate you
with more money, but with the time and energy you’ve spent on this place, I don’t think I
can ever pay you back.”
Nick stared at her for a long time and then took a sip from the thermos on the table. “I’m
not so poor that I need you to pay for a new location.”
“I didn’t pay for it.”
He paused for a bit and frowned.
Cameron continued. “Conroy and Harold shared the payment. Although Conroy is a little
arrogant and unreliable, he’s a loyal lad. As for Harold, he owns a huge network of
connections. When the new martial arts training center opens up for business, the two of
them will be placed in charge of the place, and with that, we won’t be getting into any more
trouble in the future.”
After saying that, she added, “At least we won’t attract any more trouble, and we won’t get
thugs knocking on our doors every now and then too.”
Seeing that Nick was silent, Cameron stood up. “If you want to go back to Southeast Eurasia
and develop your career over there, you can always transfer the ownership of the training
center to me. There’s no need for you to close it down.”
