Chapter 163
Across the hall, Mr. and Mrs. Blake moved fast. Three days later, they handed Mira the keys to the apartment.
When Mira walked in, the place was spotless and perfectly organized.
“We packed up our clothes, and as for the bedding, we took everything we slept on and left you a few brand-new sets. We only packed our personal dining sets, too. There are new plates and silverware left behind. The kitchen is fully stocked-you won’t need to buy a thing. Just run everything through the dishwasher’s sanitize cycle, and you’re good to go. I even left the plants on the balcony for you. I had a cleaning service come through, and I left a fresh set of cleaning supplies. Just give it a final wipe-down, and it’s ready p>
“Thank you so much. You really thought of everything,” Mira said. “How much do I owe you for the furniture p>
“Oh, it’s older stuff, it’s not worth much. My husband told me not to ask for a dime, but if you absolutely insist, five thousand dollars is more than enough p>
“Five thousand? Absolutely not. Let’s make it twenty-five thousand p>
Mira had asked someone knowledgeable about interiors to assess it. The furniture was high-end and easily retailed for around forty or fifty grand brand new. They had only used it for a year, and without any kids tearing through the place, it looked completely untouched. Otherwise, Mira wouldn’t have bothered keeping it. But if they tried to offload it on the secondhand market, they’d be lucky to get twenty thousand. Offering twenty-five was a fair deal that wouldn’t leave them feeling cheated.
“That’s way too much. Just give us five p>
“I can’t do that. If I underpay, I won’t feel right keeping it p>
While they were talking, Mira already authorized the twenty-five-thousand-dollar transfer.
“You’re too generous. I don’t even know what I’m going to tell my husband p>
“Just tell him business is mutually beneficial. No need to thank me p>
Mira knew they had felt indebted to her ever since she helped them secure that major contract.
The next morning, before heading to school, Mira told Rachel to hire a cleaning crew to sanitize the place at noon so they could move in.
When the Iron Wolves drove Mira to school that morning, all three of them sensed they were being watched from the shadows.
Whether the eyes belonged to the Mercer family or the Hudsons, they knew they had to stay sharp and keep their guard up. But it wasn’t going to derail their plans— work and school carried on as usual.
That afternoon, right as Mira got home, the real estate agent called. “The deed is finalized. When is a good time to drop it off p>
“Right now works p>
She had purposely cleared her schedule at the company today just to handle the
move.
With the four of them working together, packing went incredibly fast. Luckily, the new place was just across the hall.
Mira and Rachel boxed things up, while the two bodyguards hauled them over. Before long, they were mostly done.
Elara rushed over a little later to help.
“You guys started moving without me p>
“Werent you supposed to be tutoring that kid p>
“He didn’t have much homework today, so we wrapped up early p>
“We’re just hauling the boxes,” Mira said. “You can help clean up the old place p>
Elara glanced around the apartment. It was already pretty spotless. “Mira, you guys are leaving anyway. You
don’t need to deep clean it.

“Mr. Harth might be moving in p>
“Wait, Mr. Harth is living here p>
“Most likely. It’ll be great—if we ever get stuck on an assignment, we can just knock
on his door p>
“Awesome! I’ll make sure it’s sparkling clean then p>
Elara was always a ball of energy.
“Hold on,” Mira stopped her. “Call your landlady first and tell her not to save you dinner Since we finally have some downtime today, we re making a huge homemade dinner once we’re done. Rachel’s cooking, and it’s going to be amazing.
Elara didn’t hesitate. “Really? Perfect, I’ll call her right now p>
Ever since Elara moved into the neighborhood, Mira always invited her over when there was good food, and whenever there was arodd job, she threw the work her way.
