Chapter 164

Suzy opened her eyes only after George had gotten out of bed. She turned her head to look at the bright sunlight outside the window, narrowed her eyes, and let out a huge stretch.

She stretched on the bed for a while more before getting down. However, her legs still went limp and she almost fell to the floor.

As soon as she looked up, she saw George leaning against the bathroom door and looking at her with a smile. There was only a towel around his lower body, and water droplets dripping from his freshly washed face. His smile seemed so sly and lustful. Suzy blushed, picked up the pillow on the bed, and threw it at him. She frowned and shouted," Don't laugh!"

She looked just like an angry little leopard.

George took the pillow and walked over, holding her up to help her into the bathroom. "I wasn't mocking you. I'm simply proud!". Suzy, ".." Jessie had already asked for someone to bring clothes and breakfast over. He placed them downstairs. During breakfast, George asked, "When will that friend of yours leave?"

Suzy sipped on the milk and shook her head. "I'm not sure."

George gave it a thought and said, "James' house is just downstairs, so ask your friend to stay there instead."

Suzy raised her eyebrows. "Will that be alright?"

George leisurely said, "James' place is empty and no one lives there. She can stay as long as she wants without having to pay rent and any other expenses. Isn't that more convenient than her current arrangement?"

Suzy had heard from Nelly that her brother's girlfriend did not seem to be looking for a house at all. It seemed as though she was planning on staying at her house indefinitely. Hence, Nelly was not planning on returning home for the time being. Since Suzy was moving too, Nelly thought about sharing a rental house with her in the future. Suzy asked, "What about Mr. Collins?" "You don't need to worry about him. Royal Court was developed by the Laines. I had reserved a top- floor unit for myself as a temporary resting place. He heard about it and wanted a slice of the ple, so I was the one who gave that unit to him. He doesn't drop by very often." Suzy nodded, "okay. I'll head back and talk to Nelly about it." If she stayed at Royal Court, it would be very close to the dessert shop. She did not have to pay rent either, so it seemed like a good option for her, After their meal, the two left the villa, Jessie sent Suzy back to Royal Court first, then took George to the company.

It was Nelly's off day, so she happened to be at home. Suzy told her about the house, and Nelly's face was filled with astonishment. "If I stay downstairs, what about you?" Suzy said warmly, "I'll still stay here." Nelly asked wonderingly, "Is the downstairs unit your uncle's place as well?" Later, she learned that the landlord Suzy mentioned was the distant uncle she had mentioned before. Suzy said, "No. It's his friend's, but it's always been empty." "Is there truly such a coincidence?" Nelly. was in disbelief and grew even more curious about Suzy's uncle. "Mm. Don't you want to?" "It's not that!" Nelly immediately shook her head. "How could I reject such a great offer? If you stay upstairs, and I stay downstairs, we can still see each other often. But do I really not have to pay rent? That doesn't seem too real!" "Don't worry about it and just stay there. Think of it as you're helping him keep an eye on his place!" Nelly smiled. "Then whenever he plans on coming back, I'll move out immediately without the slightest delay!" "Sounds good!"

Since it was decided and it was also Nelly's rest day, she packed up her things and moved downstairs that same day. When Suzy came back in the morning, George had already given her the password for the door lock of the unit downstairs.

The layout for the downstairs and upstairs units was exactly the same, but the decoration was slightly different. James was a fan of technology, so the house was full of high-tech equipment. For example, there was a robot that could serve the owner of the place, ceilings that could be changed into different colors and scenery, and balcony sunroofs that could automatically be unfolded like a sports car... Nelly was a fan of these things as well. Upon entering, she was excited for quite some time, but she did not dare to touch anything and merely admired them, She stayed in the second bedroom like Suzy. She could even talk to Suzy from the balcony of the bedroom

When George arrived at the company, he gave James a call. As soon as the call was connected, James smiled and said, "You didn't specifically give me a call just to thank me, right?" George sneered and said, "i'm not as lame as you are."
