Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 617

“What do you think? Do you want to rent it? If you do, I’ll give you a discount since you’re Zachary’s sister-in-law. Your rent will be a little cheaper than others, but don’t tell anyone else. If they find out, they’ll come to me asking for a discount as well. That would be a huge loss.”

Liberty was immensely touched. She had to cross that street every day to and from work, so she knew very well how much traffic that street held.

Snack bars, restaurants, and even dessert stores over there had a remarkable business.

She had been incredibly envious of those who could rent a shop lot and open a business on that street. Unexpectedly, those shopfronts belonged to Duncan.

“How much is the monthly rent?”

“All stores in downtown Wiltspoon are much more expensive than other places. Among the stores I have there, the smallest is about forty square feet, and the larger ones are more than a hundred square feet. What kind of eatery are you planning to open?”

“A breakfast store.”

“Then you don’t need that big of a space. The price of breakfast isn’t extravagant, so you can just rent one with a size of forty to fifty square feet. I’ll ask the old couple who are retiring how big their store is.

“You can just pay me eight thousand for the monthly rent, but you have to keep it a secret and don’t tell anyone. I charge others over ten thousand a month.”

Liberty nodded repeatedly. “I won’t tell anyone, Mr. Duncan, but will it be a great loss for you if you charge me so little?”

“I’ve earned back the capital I spent to buy those stores long ago. Now, I turn a profit no matter how much rent I charge, so you don’t have to worry about it. Just do a good job. If you don’t mind, you can take the initiative to increase your rental payment to me after you’ve earned back your capital.”

He was also a businessman.

It was all about interests.

Liberty smiled. “Okay. When I get my capital back, I’ll pay you as much as you charge the others. I’ll take your store, Mr. Lewis. I’ll go back and notify my superior about my resignation now.”

“All right. I’ll have someone contact you to sign the contract later.”

Duncan acted decisively. “If you want to stop working before your probation period is over, tell your manager. She’ll calculate your work attendance and prorate your salary accordingly.”
