It was one of the city's prime sites. Perhaps even a toilet in this neighborhood cost more than 500 bucks a month.
"Yes."
"Are you kidding? I can't afford to buy a house here, but I know how expensive it is. 500 bucks a month and this place don't always go together."
Dennis said seriously, "Miss, the customer is the king. How dare I kid the king? You can file a complaint if you think I'm lying."
"But... this is just too unbelievable." Rose still did not believe that such a good thing should come to her.
"Miss Willis, let's go check the house first." Dennis knew what she was worried about. If he hadn't gotten that call, he wouldn't have believed it, either.
"All right." Rose followed him into the neighborhood. It was ornate even at the door.
Even the guards looked very professional.
The interior was much more luxurious. The greenery made her feel like she was in a fairy tale world.
The branches and leaves of each flower seemed to have been trimmed to perfection. Everything was in perfect harmony.
The mushroom stereo on the side of the road was playing soothing soft music.
There were mostly mansions and villas here, and the residents were either rich or noble.
Rose felt like an outsider who had stumbled in, and was out of tune with this place. She walked with great care.
"Miss Willis, here." Dennis stopped in front of a garden villa.
Rose opened her mouth in disbelief. "So, that's it? Is it the house?"
"Yes, Miss Willis."
"You can't be serious. 500 bucks can't even buy the door."
"Miss Willis, you are really stubborn. Come on in. Let me tell you what's going on."
"Alright." After all, she was already here.
It was the first time for Rose to come to a villa. The flowers in the yard grew a little too luxuriant because no one had taken care of them.
The room was filled with a thick layer of dust. If it weren't for Rose, Caesar would have forgotten he had this place.
This villa was the smallest one among his houses, with only two hundred square meters. He thought Rose would be afraid to live alone in a house that was too big, so he chose this one. It was in European style with large French windows. Every room was covered with a thick carpet.
"It faces north
and is well lighted by a dozen windows. Come on, I'll show you the second floor."
"Oh." Rose felt like Cinderella visiting the prince's palace. Things in this room had one thing in common.
Fancy!
Everything from the furniture to the decorations was tasteful. This was exactly the kind of mansion she saw on TV.
She followed Dennis to the second floor. "This is the master bedroom and this is the study. By the way, do you work out?"
"I only run."
