NovelEnglishChapter 150 Chapter 150: Kyla cut him off, her chin tilting defiantly, a hint of imperiousness in her posture. "I've made up my mind-I want this office space, your price. I'll pay double." Her eyes flicked towards the contract clutched in Sadie's hand, a wave of vindictive triumph washing over her. Sadie's gaze held a spark of sarcasm as she gently placed the contract on the table, her hands elegantly folded in her lap. "Do you understand the cost of renting office space in the prdowntown area, Miss Wade? Can you truly afford to pay double?" Kyla was momentarily at a loss for words, her face flushing a deep shade of red. She hastily grabbed the contract to scan the figures, and when she saw the numbers, her expression turned to stone.
She had blurted out her offer to demean Sadie, not expecting to be cornered by her own brash statement. Sadie rose, her presence imposing as she looked down at Kyla and said with a serene yet foreboding tone, "A piece of advice, Miss Wade. Think twice before putting on a tough act-know what you can handle first." Kyla's eyes flickered with surprise as she met Sadie's unwavering gaze, but she quickly composed herself, her voice sharpening. "What... what are you renting this place for, anyway?" Sadie took the contract back, throwing Kyla a cool, disinterested look. "What concern is that of yours?" she asked, her tone flat and dismissive.

"Let's get on with the signing. If that's not possible right now, I need to leave." Her voice carried a finality that brooked no argument, and she pivoted on her heel, poised to depart. The real estate agent, catching the urgency in her movement, was seized by a sudden panic.
This was a coveted piece of proffice space in the city's pulsing heart, where leases commanded top dollar. Losing this transaction meant waving goodbye to a hefty commission.
"Miss Hudson, don't worry about it. I'll get it done right away." Your new favorite stories are at galnovsSmiling warmly, the real estate agent steered Sadie toward a lounge. "Take a seat and relax for a moment. I'll have the contract and paperwork ready soon." Sadie settled into a plush sofa with a sigh of relief. Without Kyla's prickling presence, the world seemed instantly more serene.
Shortly, the landlord bustled in, documents in hand and a welcoming grin plastered across his face. The signing unfolded without a hitch, and Sadie soon clutched her copy of the contract, ready to make her exit.
But as she stepped out into the fresh air, her eyes landed on Kyla, who was lurking under a nearby tree. Kyla leaned casually against the trunk, arms folded, her lips curling into a sly, knowing smile as Sadie emerged.
Finding the scene rather amusing, Sadie paused, shooting Kyla a look laced with sarcasm. “Well, well, a 'big-shot' lawyer like you lounging around here? You must be really worried aboutstaying in Jazmah, huh?" "Worried? About you?" Kyla's laugh was sharp and dismissive. "You're making a big deal out of nothing-I was simply passing by."

A flicker of annoyance shadowed Kyla's features, but she masked it quickly with a cool smirk. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Sadie." Uninterested in prolonging the confrontation, Sadie turned to leave, her steps firm.
"Stop!" In a swift motion, Kyla lunged forward, her fingers clamping around the contract in Sadie's hand. That was the last straw. Sadie's patience snapped. She seized Kyla's wrist, pushing it away sharply.
