Chapter 1075
Sitting in the car, Elaine looked at the time while saying, "I have something to do this afternoon, so you don't have to accompany me."
With that, she said to the driver, "Just stop at that intersection up ahead."
Darnell's eyebrows twitched unnoticed and he spoke slowly, "What is it?"
Elaine said, "I have an appointment with an agent to see the store, and it's almost time."
As she spoke, the car pulled over to the side of the road.
Darnell glanced down at his watch and took her wrist as she went to pull the car door open, "I'll walk you there, it's hot out."
Elaine turned her head and spoke in a serious manner, "I just want to rent a store and make a small dessert store, if you take me in this car, the agent will screw me."
Darnell: "......"
Elaine took out the umbrella from her bag and raised it towards him, "Don't worry, I have an umbrella with me, there is a bus stop in front of me, just two steps away."
She peeled Darnell's hand away and gave him a quick kiss on the side of his face before pushing open the car door and jogging away.
In the front row, the assistant immediately averted her eyes to look away.
Darnell looked at her back, tongue against his teeth, for a moment before he ordered, "Follow up."
Elaine stood at the bus stop and waited for almost ten minutes for the bus she was waiting for to come.
She put away her umbrella and lifted her legs to the car.
The appointment with the agent is at 2:00 pm, there is still half an hour left, it should be appropriate to go there.
It was a hot time, not many people were out, and the whole bus was empty, without a few people.
Elaine found a seat by the side and looked out the window with her head to the side.
The bus rattled through a few streets with unfamiliar scenery all around.
Elaine realized that although she had lived in Riverside City for over twenty years, she had been to very few places.
Basically, they are those who are familiar with a few locations back and forth.
The sunlight falls on the ground, the shadows of the trees, the flow of cats and dogs in the shadows to cool off, quiet and comfortable.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel it.
Elaine leaned back in her car seat and slowly closed her eyes from the sun.
When I arrived at the location I had agreed with the agent, it was exactly two o'clock.
The agent saw her and came up and said, "Miss Osborne, right?"
Elaine nodded, "I am, hello."
In this side of Riverside City, as long as the last name James, will inevitably be more or less related to the James family.
So she didn't tell the truth.
The agent led her inside and opened the door with the key, "Miss Osborne, you have a really good eye, this store is right around the CBD, there is usually a lot of traffic coming and going, no matter what you do, business will be good."
Once inside, Elaine looked around. The facilities and environment were not bad, but just a little bit bigger.
She said, "I just run a small dessert store by myself, and this place seems a little big."
The agent said, "Not big, business, are doing better, if it is smaller, the store will not be able to sit a few people."
Elaine thought about it and asked about the rent.
After the other party said a number, Elaine shook her head: "It's too expensive, I don't have that much money."
"Miss Osborne, this is around the CBD, the rent is a little more expensive, but you will be able to pay back in a few months, believe me, renting this place is definitely not a loss."
Elaine said, "It's not a question of how long it will take to pay back, but I really don't have that much money, so show me another place."
The agent could only take her away.
The next few places we looked at were not quite right, and Elaine always felt something was missing.
Until the agent's high spirits are getting low, took her to a small storefront at the end of the alley: "Miss Osborne, this is the last one, but you should not like it, which are in my hands backlog for several
years, the conditions location in all aspects are not good, the traffic is far less than the ones I showed you before, but cheap is quite cheap. In fact, I think it is still the best first store, you no longer want to consider, add some budget ......"
Once the door was opened, it was full of puffing dust that kept swirling in the sunlight.
The store is not large, just a dozen square meters, the walls have been speckled and peeling.
The falling sunlight just enveloped the whole house.
At that moment, Elaine saw several high school students crossing from the store entrance.
She asked, "Is there a school nearby."
The agent fanned the wind with a paper bag in his hand: "Yes, there are, in addition to high school, elementary and middle school, but they are a little far away."
The implication is that they do not purposely come over here to eat either.
Elaine quickly and cheerfully decided, "Here it is, then."
The location of this store, she liked, quiet and not noisy.
But the fact that there are students passing by, including parents picking up and dropping off, means there is traffic.
When signing the contract, the agent said, "Miss Osborne, I still have to warn you, this is the old town, you may ...... want to open a dessert store if you want."
Elaine knew what he wanted to say, smiled and readily signed her name at the end: "It's okay, I'll try it first, I believe that whether it's old town or downtown, as long as I put my heart and soul into it, there
must still be a chance, not to mention that with the money I have now, this store is the most suitable for me."
"OK, then Miss Osborne contact me again if you need anything in the future and I will make sure to find you a better home."
This is probably a decision that she won't be here long.
After signing the contract and paying, the agent left, and Elaine sat alone in the store, looking around.
Although the store looks shabby now, it has a lot of room to play.
She is perfectly capable of packing up the look and style she likes.
The first step to clean up should be these old dining tables.
Elaine turned on her phone and was just about to call a moving company to take care of it when she noticed that the sunlight in the house was slowly receding and in its place, the afterglow of the setting sun.
It's already so late. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Outside the store, people kept walking around.
There are middle and high school students who are out of school, as well as elementary school students whose parents are picking them up, and crowds of people returning home from work.
It's full of life.
Elaine watched, the corners of her mouth slowly lifting.
At this time, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Elaine retracted her thoughts and found that it was Darnell calling, she swiped the screen to answer, her voice was revealingly happy, "Are you done yet."
On the other end of the line, Darnell gave a low muffled voice: "Where is it, I'll pick you up."
Elaine looked around and couldn't say the name of the place, she said, "I'll just go back by myself, it's rush hour and you should be stuck in traffic."
Darnell said, "So how do you get back."
"I'll take a look at it later, there's still some unfinished business here."
Elaine put away her phone, ready to clean out the kitchen first those small things to throw away, the dining table or have to wait for the moving company to come tomorrow.
